Bling! It simulates commercial product photos

Vertus is now selling the Mac version of Bling! It, an image tool meant to improve sales of items online, particularly through sites such as eBay. The software extracts objects from existing photos, and helps composite them against a different backdrop more resembling a commercial product shot. To improve the illusion, users can add either stock or custom backdrops, as well as elements like logos, drop shadows and highlights.

Users can further use sharpening or edge blending, scale object resolution independently of the background, or pre-format output size and resolutions for specified websites. Bling! It requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher, and costs $50.
