Image editing: Background removal and cropping of 150 images

I am looking for somebody with Adobe Photoshop, GIMP (or similar experience) to remove the backgrounds from a number of product images I have for an ecommerce site. The backgrounds vary from solid single color backgrounds to outside shots with trees and vehicles in the background.

The images are in JPEG format and vary in size from 100x100 pixels to 2000x1500 pixels in size. They depict men and women in tight fitting dance and leisurewear items. Once the background has been removed (we are looking for a white background), we would then like you to crop the image so the person/items are cropped with 5 pixel white border. Given your experience in the image editing software with things like the lasso tool, it could take around 1-10 minutes per photo and I am therefore looking for around 12 hours work.

Source material: JPEG images in a Zip file (either uploaded to a website or emailed to you).

Expected return material: JPEG images within a Zip file. The JPEGs should be provided in two folders: \"Cropped\" and \"Uncropped\". The Uncropped folder/directory should contain the images in their original sizes with the backgrounds removed. The Cropped folder should contain the images cropped with within a 5 pixel border of the person in the photo. The filename of the files should not be modified.

Expected length of project: 12 hours +/- 3 hours

Expected return of files: Within 48 hours of project commencement.
