French term or phrase: photos détourées
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 ?

Re Anna's note below: 'un-cropped' rolls off a native English tongue better than 'non-cropped'.

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.

Asker: Absolutely !!
