Quick Tip for white backgrounds

If you use a white background for your product pictures, here is a quick tip for you.

When you think you are finished the editing process, add a white border, or resize the canvas by 50 or 100 pixels around. What this does is gives you a view of how your photo will look when placed against a white background. Often times, by doing this, you will see background areas that were missed. For example:
I can now see that there is still some background to be removed around the edges. Before I added the white border, this image looked all done. Now I have some more work to do!

I hope this quick tip was helpful, so you may have the best pictures possible for your website!
