Hello,
As you can see the below image, the background is white & clean and all corners of the image is with good quality. I want to know how can i make the background white of an image after taking the photo picture using paint or photoshop as i have both. Once i take the picture, the background is gaylish even if i take it with sunlight so i want to know how can paint or photoshop make the photo look fresh with the white background after taking it. Lastly by your expert eyes, what computer photo editing tool work are done in this image after taking the picture with the camera? as i want to make images like this.

When trying to get rid of dingy. grey areas that are supposed to be white I usually use "CURVES" in Photoshop. You can experiment by moving the sliders back and forth and also shaping the curve but to quickly turn whites into super-whites, take the white eyedropper tool (located just to the left of the curves main window) and click on an area in your photo that is supposed to be white. It will instantly brighten up ALL whites in the photo. If what you click on is a dingy grey, it will turn it white. You may have to un-do a couple of times to get it perfect.
BTW, the grey and black eyedropper work the exact same way.
EXPERIMENT
 
i do quite a lot of these in my work practice.
take images against the white background
hit ctrl+L use eyedropper with -sign and click darkest shadow area
eventually use history brush to paint over the desired areas of the image
in case it effected the object itself.
 
Hello,
The eyedropper & the curve tool, is it the same effect as moving the level slider on the photoshop? like which effect is better or they're the same.


Lastly, What kind of work are done to have this picture have the shadow line in the bottom. And how do you take the picture where it will stand straight like that. Any illustration would be great if possible

to take good photo, usually takes good photographer. do it on the white background in laying position. then cleaning and warping against the guidelines in order to make it geometrically perfect as those ones you posted here.
and for the perspective shadow there's numerous ways as well as numerous variations..
