Marketing Help

Post by tmerrill »

One of the items I make is a simple 12" diameter wall clock. They are normally made of hard maple and finished with either shellac or Deft spray laquer.

To help show the different designs, I made a blank clock (no image), photographed it and cropped it in Photoshop. Now I can superimpose the image using VCP's imaging feature and get it as realistic as possible without actually cutting it.

This idea may work for those of you who do something similar with a repeated shape or background.

The two images came from the forum - Thanks to Paul N. for both!

That's a really clever idea and way to show things to people. On a few of those you'd almost think it was the real thing.

Thanks for the sharing the idea.
Take it easy.

Great idea Tim. Those images really look good as clock backgrounds.
