What you need is a 'blue screen'. This is a blue version of the
reflective material used on road signs. You either have it flat to the
camera with a very weak ring flash or at a slight angle. Should be able
to get it from Samuelson's.

Hi
The other day I took pictures of ~500 items of "men's fashion wear"
for a
trade catalogue. I've just had a call from the poor s*d who has been
given
the job of cutting them out of the pics.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks I can pass on as to more efficient
ways of
doing it in PS? Also would any particular choice of
background/lighting
help in the cut-out process if they want any more?
bye for now
