I am finding this too hard, I googled and found some companies that do this sort of thing, has anyone tried them? Is clipping path the same as deepetching. http://www.deepetch.com seems to be one good one, I also saw http://www.ezyclipping.com and http://www.graphic-design-employment.com/photoshop-clipping-paths.html. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing. My catalog has over 300 images of jewellery and jackets with fur fitted on manequins due in two weeks, all shot on a blue studio background. Do I require alpha channel masking? Can anyone help please?

Alex, given your short timeframe, you may need to consider finding a local graphics designer and getting some much needed help. It will cost you, but it may also save you a lot of stress given that you now have two weeks or less to deliver 300 images.

Hi,
Would depend on how CLEAN the background colour is and if the CLEAN/DEfined break between background and object you wan to etract.
What programs do you use ?
Photoshop would be the best tool to use but....

That's not necessarily true, Photoshop is probably the most capable tool, but it can be unwieldy for beginners.
Personally I use Paint Shop Pro for these tasks not because it is best of breed, but because it better matches my limited skill sets in graphics manipulation. Its lasso tool is easy to use with background manipulation
Your initial comments regarding Clean breaks and colour separation are the real keys, and that is used by selecting a high contrast background and adequate light.
Given the number of images, and the amount of work involved I'd suggest Petert's suggestion of get help is the most appropriate. Photoshop is not difficult to learn, but becoming expert does take time and lots of practice.
