This project can help you doing your little project by yourself. However if you need any further editing like background changing you have to create clipping path around the bottle image. You can do it easily with Photoshop pen tool. Just take a path layer, select pen tool and start drawing. Once you are done with the clipping path you can cut out the bottle from the existing background be selecting path and pressing Ctrl/Command + J. While doing clipping path or deep etching remember to make it as much accurate as possible otherwise if you place the image on a different background the bottle will bleed the previous background. If you need any kind of assistance for “wrap label” or “clipping path service”, just contact out customer support team at any time. Hope we will make your image editing project as much convenient as possible.
