Condominiums are some of the most popular types of housings in Philippine market due to its benefits which conform in todays modern trends. So what are the benefits or advantages of living in a condominium unit?

Different Types of Condominiums
There are currently two types of condominiums in the Philippines, the typical condominiums mostly found in the city, such as the many Metro manila condominiums, and condominiums found in the outskirts or even in the provinces, which are known as condominium complexes.

Location
The main factor which made most condominiums in the city popular is because of its location. Most of these types of housings are strategically found in business and commercial district, such as those found in Makati City and many other major cities in Metro Manila.

Because of its location, residents can enjoy the luxury of living within walking distance or mass transit distance from their workplaces, allowing them to avoid the usual hassles of rush hour. Its location is also within reach of popular entertainment places such as malls and “hang-out” places.

Condominium complexes, on the other hand, are found far from these places. Most condominium complexes are found in the outskirts, while some are even found in the provinces. These types of condominiums aim to provide a more family-oriented environment for Filipino families compared to Metro manila condominiums.

Because of its location, condominium complexes can offer a more peaceful and quieter environment compared to that of the city. Condominium complexes can also offer the wide open space that growing children require for playing. However, what made condominium complexes more popular is with its amenities.

Amenities
Other than its family-oriented location and environment, condominium complexes are also known for its amenities such as its own swimming pools, gyms, recreational parks, playgrounds, as well as a full-size sports complex complete with basketball, volleyball, tennis, and badminton courts. Because of this, condominium complexes became one of the best types of modern housing for modern Filipino families.

However, other than condominium complexes, a number of condominiums in the city are also known to offer their own amenities. Some of the oldest Metro manila condominiums offer gyms as their amenities. Today, many new condominiums in the city can now offer their own indoor swimming pools and sports complexes for the enjoyment of their residents.

To improve and enhance the look of items in pictures, many companies will try different methods to showcase their products in the best possible way. Utilizing clipping path services is one of those ways. Companies who perform clipping path services will use photo manipulation techniques to reduce shading, improve the look of the product in question, and really make the image “pop out” of the picture. This is very common in advertising and catalogs, where the background is further deemphasized in favor of the image in question.

Image masking is a photo manipulation technique that takes an image and places it on a chosen background, instead of the background the image’s picture was originally taken on. This technique is used for video titling and computer graphical user interface icons. Companies that wish to use these techniques for their business may not employ the graphic designers needed to make such things happen. Many imaging companies offer both of these services, but their prices aren’t always friendly to a company’s bottom line. Therefore, outsourcing clipping path services and image masking is becoming more attractive than before. Image manipulation services located in developing countries such as Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines are more than willing to do these imaging jobs for far less than domestic companies charge.

Why outsource these services overseas? Price is the overriding factor. Doing a clipping path service on a relatively easy task can cost as little as a dollar when outsourced; many domestic companies would balk at that price. Outsourcing these jobs saves money in the long term because money is not being eaten up by expensive imaging services. Image masking services are very popular to outsource. The knowledge base in these countries isn’t that much different than what would normally be found domestically; however, the ability to do these jobs for less gives them a comparative advantage.

The turnaround time is just as fast, too. Overseas imaging companies have workers available to finish jobs within the same day, or within a few hours if necessary for an additional cost. Businesses who don’t have the capability to do these image manipulations themselves would normally hire someone to do it; but the low prices offered by overseas firms make them far more affordable options in the long run. Companies with tight budgets will consider using these overseas firms for these clipping path and image masking services in order to save money.
