What to send us
Photos of items with few edges and gentle curves, such as phone cases, folded shirts or plain boxes, and the output format, such as a PSD with the path saved or a finished cut-out.
What you get back
A hand-drawn pen tool path saved in the file plus the cut-out on your chosen background, following the outline tightly with smooth curves.
What to check before you sign off
Open the PSD and look at the path in the Paths panel. A good basic path uses few anchor points, sits just inside the edge and has no jagged segments.
