*This means your original image is always there, sitting in behind the changes you make. In the Layer menu, select Duplicate Layer to create a duplicate of the background layer. The entire image opens as the Background layer.
So, after a bit of searching around the web, I learned how to get those really white white backgrounds that look great on screen or on paper.
It was shown in the Small Beautiful Objects exhibition at Self Preservation Gallery in 2008 and won the Small Beautiful Objects Award, and was sold through the exhibition, so I didn't have the opportunity to get a professional shot of it.) (For instance, the photo I'm using for this example is my Madeleine teapot, which I finished just before the exhibition deadline and didn't have a chance to have professionally photographed. That said, it's likely that there will be circumstances where you need to or want to take photos of your work yourself, and that's where knowing how to successfully edit for white backgrounds comes in really handy.
I feel I should start this post with a disclaimer: no amount of editing is going to take the place of really high quality professional photographs, and for some applications, like submitting your work for some books, you'll be asked not to edit images in any way unless you are a professional photographer.
#Gimp how to change picture background to white software#
Part of that was a lot of professional photography, and part was standardising the white of my image backgrounds using GIMP, a free, open-source photo editing software similar to Photoshop.
