These steps are easily researchable on the web. It's recommended to
place the subject about 4' in front of the chroma green background and
to light the background from the sides to eliminate color spill and
shadows.
What you both say is just part of the very BASIC of photography, or it has
nothing to do with green-screen specific but Photoshopy (Video as well)
technique. BTW, I do not against what you two saying, but just add some
My question is about the software. Many companies offer software to
use in conjunction with a green screen. I can't figure out if they do
anything different than what Photoshop does.
YES, there are plug-in for photoshop which get the idea from VIDEO, or
green-screen is original designed for Video. And the problem that some
of
you guys (not you specific but in general) don't want to hear thing you
don't want to hear. So I will try to give a little more detail
- YES, there are several and they cost $400-800+ a pop.
- NO, you do not need to spend any extra $$$ on any of them because they
ain't any more special than Select Color with few extra tool to deselect
some area with similar color (green).
- It's much wiser to use regular Masking plug-in, or learning to use
Photoshop's built-in tool which is capable of doing the hundreds of $$$
can.
YES, the regular Masking plug-in has more advance than Green-Screen
plug-in
Some will remove the green (or blue) and replace it with a background
image, but that seems the same to me as popping in a background image
as a layer.
GREEN (a special green not normal green) because we won't see that kind of
green in our daily life, making thing much easier to separate. That's it!
I have the impression that the software is for those who don't have
Photoshop, but I'm trying to verify this.
.. and if the foreground is GREEN then you may find WHITE background is a
much better choice than Green-Screen background. Or I am trying to make
the
WHITE more special than GREEN-SCREEN.
I did not see Tony's post
for some reason he was on my blocked list
What's this? Why, Kat, I am a mild and non-confrontational poster
with all but the greatest of fools. True, I may turn a bit acerbic to
the likes of "Vovoid", but I'm generally as comfortable as an old shoe
in this group.
There are other groups in which I post - where I am more sure of my
footing - that I take the occasional controversial position in, but in
a Photoshop group I mostly listen and learn.
Restore me to your approved list, Kat. There's nothing I have to
teach you, but I won't offend you.
