did some testing for a big shoot coming up.

out of camera: (only one light used with a huge softbox and a reflector from the side)

Edit version: (had the product cut out in CS4 and placed on a new white sheet)

i like the original one better tho, giving the product more life, but client prefer the photoshop version. i guess its better for web application.

yes i think the original product looks better, but if they are going to clear cut every product image on the site it might make the site more consistent i guess.

original FTW..photoshopped looks like its floating on air..maybe if it was cropped it might look better

actually i calibrated my monitor at home and the background still looks a bit grey, not trying to bum you out or anything but thats just what im seeing on my screen :/ - also it looks like when you clear cut the second image you cut out part of the product on the top part on the left side...
