Wrinkle removalRemove the background
Before doing anything else, be sure to make your product images’ background cleaner. Because a messy background not only makes you less professional but also distracts your potential customers to focus on the main objects.
Thus, we suggest that you should take photos of your products on a white background so you don’t have to spend too much time removing irrelevant objects from your pictures.
To remove the background from product images, use the pen in Adobe Photoshop. Or you can use a quick selection tool called ‘Select and Mask’.

Remove blemishes
Bear in mind that the cliche ‘embrace perfect imperfections’ doesn’t work on the product images that you use to convince customers to purchase.
Hence, the next thing you should definitely consider is doing photo blemish remover to make sure your products are free of all defects. Even a minor scratch or a small fingerprint has to be eliminated to give your product photos a refreshing look!
To edit product photos in Photoshop and remove all imperfections, use tools like the Clone Stamp and Healing Brush.
- Use the Healing Brush when you want to select specific parts of the image to correct. After you’ve done this action, Photoshop will fill in this area with pixels of the same colors as their surroundings.
- Utilize Clone Stamp Tool when you need more manual control. This tool will enable you to copy pixel values from one place and apply them to another. A little tip: opt for lower hardness settings to make your photo’s colors look more natural

Photo color changing has always been a crucial part of product photo editing using Photoshop. You should make sure that the product color in the photo is exactly what customers see with their naked eyes when receiving the products.
If your product colors don’t look as they should in a real-life setting, adjusting the image’s colors, white balance, exposure & contrast and you may get your desired result.

Open your product image file > click on the Image tab > navigate to Adjustments > select Hue/Saturation > then move the triangle slider in both directions to get your desired hue.
