  1. Hi Phlearn! Thanks for the tutorial! Lock down here hiding from the Covid….. and have been practicing my PS skills. Two questions, why do you have your come stamp flow on 20%, and some times mine leaves stuttering track marks for instance I think if the brush setting is too hard it skips along. Will changing my flow and smoothing fix this?

  2. I enjoyed this because I am always eager to learn. If I was doing the photographs for a company that makes the purse, I could see where these techniques would be useful. I am shooting for Ebay sales however and need to be able to get the shots as clean as I can (i.e. squared up in the lens, lit properly). I do about 60-70% vertical straight down and about 30 to 40% stand mounted angled down slightly. I do not want to spend more than 5 minutes to grab my photos for a single item. I would like to learn getting super detailed macro shots and be able to pull out to get full shots of the products. Nice work though.

  3. Pardon my English, Iโ€™m not a native speaker. I run a retail online shop, with varieties of products, and I shoot and edit every picture of each product. If Iโ€™m gonna follow the steps on this video, I think Iโ€™ll spend most of my time just to shoot and edit. Are these steps inevitable in product photography for every individual photo (and, yes, I have to spend most of my time doing it)? Or, is there any other way to process it especially when working on so many, many products? Like perhaps a format for the photo session and editing process for consistency?

  4. I got very excited watching this video and paid/subscribed for the course. Unfortunately, they don't provide a thorough information about each topic. I learned a few things about product photography but I was hoping for more. They could definitely cover more! I'm a bit disappointed ๐Ÿ™

  5. Using the new Content Scale in Photoshop 2019, I'd simply crop the image and then use the Conteny scale as a copy of the background and and paste it behind the source image (so you don't stretch the content inside.
