06. Obtaining a pure white background on jewelry photos using PackhotMacro RE and PackhotMacro DIS
Shooting jewelry with automatic background removal works great but can still not be perfect depending on your product. Moreover, shooting on pure white directly is not recommended for jewelry.
The best way to obtain a pure white background with quality results is
to shoot your jewelry on a background with values 247, 247, 247. Then apply
Levels (one by one or in batch) to make the background pure white and to add
back the mid-tones. This method works for almost all items if the background is
consistently above 245, 245, 245. If lower than 245, then levels will not be
able to work and still create a reasonably good image.
We highly recommend using mirrorless cameras from Canon for shooting
jewelry. They do an excellent job. Use them with either the Canon 100mm L
series lens or the 60mm lens.
