Questions about green screen photography.....?
I want to be able to take photos and then add a background to them on the computer. Also do things like:
*Put a baby in a flower
*Add digital props
My question is.....
*Do I need a green screen software or could I just use my photoshop
*How exactly do you remove the green screen (If you can use photoshop do you just use the magic eraser?)
*I found the green screen backdrop but did not find a green sheet like thing for the floor (to sit or stand on)
*Is there a good digital backdrop and props website to buy cd's off (the one I found looks a little cheesy)
Good question!
You can use any colour you like (blue is common) as long as it contrasts with your subject. Even so you are going to need Photoshop afterwards to knock out your image. The advantage of a contrasting colour is that you can use channel-based selections using tools like the magic wand, which will give you speed if not accuracy (generally it's a compromise).
There are various proprietary knock-out software packages on the market - I'd do some research to see which one suits you best... it'll probably be a good investment if you're planning to do a fair bit of this kind of work.
