Photos for Etsy: Getting Started

Author Written by Adornments by Karla on Thursday, September 30, 2010 at 1:26 PM Date

When I recently decided to open a shop on Etsy, I realized that nice photos of my work would not appear there by magic. I would have to learn to do it.
After some reading and research, I pieced together a workflow that works for me. For some topics, there are ample instructions available. I’ve included some of my favorite resources in the Helpful Resources section below; these cover use of scanners, optimizing camera settings and background, and light boxes.
A couple of areas weren’t covered in quite the way I needed: organization and (very) quick photo editing. I pieced these together through experimentation and jotted down some notes to share, hoping to save someone else the same difficulty.

To read this post in its entirety, please click here: http://tinyurl.com/24e9avr , where you'll find a few ideas for organizing photos to optimize workflow, and basic steps for editing photos using Gimp (a free download.)
