French term

photos détourées

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software
In a photo bank, you can choose between:

"photos produit détouréés"

and

"photos produits non-détourées".

I've got as far as realising that these are 'cut-out' pictures, but there must be a more specific term for this because I'm not getting any Google hits with this. Can anyone help ?
Proposed translations (English)
5 close-cut pictures
4 close-cropped photos

Thank you for this reference Bourth. I guess I'll have to work around the answers given here. I tries the search engine again, and it still didn't come up with anything for 'détouré'. Grrr... !!! Anyway, I'll close the question. Thanks for your time.

And a Google search for 'détouré photo "cut out"' gives 25,000 hits in English, so I reckon you were right from the start ... http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&rlz=1T4HPEB_frFR257FR257&q...

A Proz.com term search for "détouré" comes up with this: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/printing_publish...

Hi Tony Well I have, but nothing showed up. Mind you, it's surpising, as other people have already pointed out, how often you end up finding a Kudoz link via Google, when the Proz search engine has told you there are no matches...

Have you tried the archives? I've a distinct feeling that this has come up before, and the answers were quite good...

Re Anna's note below: 'un-cropped' rolls off a native English tongue better than 'non-cropped'.
Note from asker:
For the record, I did go for 'cropped photos' and 'non-cropped photos' in the end, because 'non cut-out photos' didn't roll off the tongue ! Thanks for your input.
Absolutely !!
