Isolated Object Preparation Guidelines

Consider viewing our Isolated Objects Quality Guidelines before submitting to this category.

Clean Up Your Isolated Object:

All submissions must be photographic in nature. Graphics will not be accepted. Follow these guidelines to create the Photoshop file containing your hi-res isolated object:

1. Clip or mask your object in Photoshop to fully and cleanly separate it from the background.
2. Place the object on its own layer.
3. If the object has a shadow, place the shadow on its own layer.
4. Do make sure the object clipping edges are smooth and clean.
5. Do not flatten your Photoshop file.
6. Do not rasterize layers unnecessarily.
7. Do not merge layers unnecessarily.
8. Do use non-destructive editing methods—masks, vector smart objects and other Photoshop tools—to provide the buyer with the most flexibility.
