Upvote this question 1 Downvote this question

Pretty disappointed that bonanza got rid of the background burner it was a great feature.. Has anyone found a replacement that they are happy with?.. I’ve done some research and I’m leaning towards pic monkey but am not happy about the expense and having to learn the program.. I’ve used photoshop in the past but very labor intensive and I really want a one and done type background remover. curious if anyone has insight or experience. thanks :-) ..

For my pictures I use a piece of white poster board for the base, and a white trifold cardboard that I stand up for the background. I got them at $ Tree, I know you still have a back ground,but it does work.

Like Bargain hunter, I take my pics on a white background then I have no need of a background burner. Then Simply edit in your prefered editing program. I use Pinta.

Yes, I also use a white poster from Dollar General. I use natural light without a flash. However, I’m not sure how it will go where I live now. The background burner was the finishing touch in lots of cases for me.

Personally, I don’t always want that cold, “catalog” look to my items. I’ve sold lots of things with and without a white background.

Easiest for small items is a white tablecloth with some white cardboard sheets stood up in the background. Or not…

I don’t find it a problem if my home decor shows in the background. It also indirectly shows potential buyers, I’m an individual selling things from my home and I’m not trying to hide that fact. (Can be a more sincere message for a lot of items, including housewares, some clothes, etc.)

I use Photoshop to background burn, and it does not take that much to accomplish it. But I also use a white background for my photos, so that is a time saver. I have never used Background Burner, and a lot of people don’t. So discontinuing that feature is a time and effort saver for Bonanza.
