For those of you photographers who do any pro work or retouching, I've recently discovered a great service for clipping (silo'ing, removing the background). ClippingProvider.com will provide you with a clipping path for under $3 per image! As a test, I sent them a photo of a Harley custom that I needed clipped for a client, and they created a perfect path (drilled brake rotors and all!) within 4 hours. I recently used them for 10 product shots for a client, same great results. They bill your email addres once a month.
That same Harley image would have taken me over an hour to do, and I would have had to bill the client accordingly ($130 per hour).
They're using people in Thailand to do the work - It's a global economy out there, put it to work...
