Digital or Photo Images

[pimpndecals]

Hi Guys,

wanted your opinions before i continued with my image updates,

as we all know images are king 🙂

i have prepared 2 listings i with a photo that still needs a bit better lighting but you get the idea and a listing with Photoshoped images.

if you were after these products which would you prefer to see?

Ok, I think your not photoshopped photo needs to be photoshopped, just an auto correction to just brighten it up a bit, the contrast and colour balance is not as good as it could be.

The photoshopped picture has great colour, contrast etc, but I actually preferred the not photoshopped picture better from a  aesthetic point of view. As a buyer I'd prefer the not photoshopped picture. However this is just my opinion.

Also are you aware that early next year, wording on pictures will be frowned upon, as will borders I think. Just letting you know in case you didn't.:-D

Hi, sorry you haven't had a reply yet, I'm sure someone will come along soon.     I had difficulty seeing the photos, but probably because I have a very slow browser.

I do remember some post where the seller was in trouble because the buyer did not like the fact that the photo was photoshopped, and it was a similar product - and the advice was real photos of the item are best.

yes here it is

I prefer the non-PS image but it does need a little work.

On another note, your listings took quite some time to load for me and I am on a fast broadband connection.

Personally Chris, I have to agree with the other posters there. I like the photo which is not photoshoped. It's more real and believable and gives me an idea of what it is going to look like when I receive the item, more so than the photoshoped picture, JMO.

Sorry, I hit post too soon.

I meant to add, that as your listing category has so much competition, if it was a product I was in the market for, I would most likely have moved on to another seller rather than wait for the page to load (I am an impatient shopper :))

I thought the Actual photo would be best, just have to get the adjustments down pat 🙂

wasn't aware that wording in images will be frowned upon thanks for the heads up.

I think i might have to adjust the size of the pictures in the listing as i was trying to update to the new image size recommendations which i think might be slowing things down.

what browser do you use Kasbar?

phew, thought it was just me. I did hit the back button, sorry OP, I got tired of waiting

I prefer the "real" image not a photo shopped one although your real image did need just a little lightening up.

Agree with the people who said it took ages to load, it did, I use Chrome. I would normally have hit the back button, I'm afraid if something doesn't load quickly for me I am gone, onto another page.
