Getting a white background behind an object
#1
How  do catalogs frequently manage to get pictures of the items they're selling with a perfect white background that contains nothing to distract the viewer from the product? For instance, if you go to Home Depot, every item has a white background containing absolutely nothing.

I simply don't believe that each and every item was photographed on a perfectly white surface that shows absolutely nothing else, not even texture. There *must* be a technique for removing the actual background that was present when the picture was taken yet preserving the border of the item perfectly. I'm very curious to know what that technique is and if I can do it in GIMP.

Even just knowing the name of the technique would be helpful but a link to instructions or a video detailing the technique would be even better.
