When photographing a subject in front of or standing on a Chromakey background, I always get reflected blue light on the subject. I can't seem to get rid of the background in photoshop without spilling over into the subject.
What can I do? I have CS 2.
Is there any way that I can filter one color (chromakey) out of a picture in Photoshop?
I really want to take out all the whites in a picture... But the Magic erasor tool has its limits... :P
I come from the video field, I started taking professionals photographs recently and took some pictures against a green background for a video that I was doing.
What is the BEST way to do a chroma key on photoshop? I dont find any 'chroma key' function as in Adobe Premiere for example, but I know there must be a way. I tried 'selecting' and area but I dont think that's the best way to do it
Please have in mind I am not an 'expert' on photoshop, I know my way around it and can follow instructions very well.
I am using the CS2 version.
I have just ordered a Chroma Key green screen to use for some fashion photography.
Have any of you used one of these ?
I will be wanting to cut the green backdrop out so that I can place my models on any backdrop I desire.
I'm currently working on a project in which I'm taking still images of various products against a static background. Up to this point, I've been manually cutting the products out of their background, a very tedious activity.
Taking a step back, I realized that I have many thousands of photos to take and clean up, and that this manual manipulation just isn't going to "cut it" (pun, haha).
I have been trying to find a program of sorts that will remove a particular color (preferably specified by its hex code) from a photo, and perhaps replace it with white, or resize/crop the image.
With this program I would be able to take the pictures against an obnoxious background color that could be quickly done away with by a computer.
I guess this is known by many terms in "the industry", including chroma key, matting, compositing, etc.
I have run across a couple of possible programs (Ultimatte, Adobe After Effects), but I don't know much about any of them.
One other feature that would be, well, desired would be command-line functionality. Ideally, I would be able to incorporate said program into a script that can process a huge list of photos while I'm off doing other things.
I'm editing videos that are 1080i (I forget the model number, but it's a Canon camcorder and I think it's actually 1440x1080.) When rendered normally, everything looks fine and the interlacing is not really noticable.
However, some of the videos have been resized, and the background replaced using a green screen / chroma key. When someone's hands move away from their body and over the background, the interlacing is very noticable and looks pretty bad. I have tried rendering using both default templates with Upper Field First, and custom Frame Based templates, none of which work to reduce the interlacing. Is there a way to reduce it, or am I stuck with it?
The chromakey function works passably well when I'm using it without any effects (I still have issues with transparency) but seems to work not at all when I apply an effect. I've tried applying sketch, rotosketch, colored ink, emboss, etc to the overlay after I've chroma keyed out the green and it basically eliminates the green screen effect.
There are SOOO many issues with this program that are really beginning to make it unusable for me.
-- Transitions applied to overlays (even a simple cross fade) usually affect all clips playing at that time (not just the specified overlay effect) which makes them unusable for overlays.
-- Even with smart proxy turned on, the preview video gets garbled and choppy after a few playings.
It's just a shame because the interface really is more intuitive than any other program I've used (after effects, Premiere, Vegas).
how to apply the Mask & Chroma Key. I've dragged a Color into the timeline, and selected OPTIONS and then Mask & Chroma Key, but all I have now is a neon green glob on my screen that covers everything else (because that's the color I chose.)
So how do I blot out the background of a brief video clip?
And - for that matter - I'm trying to find some tutorials so I can try out features without continuing to bother everyone?
I am having issue with a simple project. It's a simple green chroma keying project which looks ok inside Premiere, but once exported it turns into a nightmare. I will post screens instead of writing the details. I am not using any external plugins. The output is rendered with tweaked settings for H.264 Vimeo 720p 29.97 fps MP4 format. I'm working with an NDA, but the problem is only in the shadows as far as I can tell.
This is how it looks inside premiere (both reference and program look the same) This is how the matte looks.And this is the final render (checked in Quick Time and VLC).Never in my life of editing in Pr, FCPX or Smoke have I enountered this issue before.
I'm trying to find out if Corel Paintshop X4 Pro has a tool or setting to remove a chromakey green screen background?

I'm trying to learn how to do low-light night photography, including some astrophotography. I bought an intervalometer and just collected 100 photos. Using Bridge I load all 100 into Photoshop layers. It took a fairly long time (several minutes) to load, but is it seems they all loaded correctly. The problem is now whenever I do anything in Photoshop I get an error message saying there's not enough RAM. Also, everything else on the computer slows way down. I went to PS preferences and upped the RAM to the max I have available, 3.3 Gb. Didn't work.
I'm taking all the shots as RAW files. Should I be shooting JPEGs instead? Do I just need more RAM? 3.3 Gb seems like it should be enough.I'm using a Canon 40D, CS6, and a Mac Mini running OSX 10.8.4.

an example is the yellowing of a paper. to detect this, i need an apparature that guarantees same capturing conditions as light and "film-focus distance".
does someone have experiences with this problem?
second problem is how to determinate the colors correctly and, if necessary, change colors of the following photos digitally to the colors of the first photo.
here i've thought of using a test-picture in background that can give me a "mark" how my camera has changed natural colors. will it be possible to customize the color of the test-picture (beside the object) digitally and thus achieve the exact/same color of my object?

These photos are very impressive and possibly taken as HDR.The question is; this transformation can be possible just photoshop retouching even using light? It looks like 3D rendering or PS drawing but we don't sure. Is it Photoshop Plug-In or what kind of technique is it?
I am purchasing a new computer and whether nVidia or AMD would be better for use with Photoshop CS6. In my previous computers, I've only ever had an integrated video card and they worked okay enough with Photoshop. But now I have the opportunity to purchase a computer with an nVidia/2 Gig Vram or an AMD Radeon/1 gig VRAM video card.
I know so much depends on the cpu speed, ram, whether or not you have multiple hard drives, etcetera. What I want for all the other components of the computer, but I have no working knowledge of video cards.
I use Photoshop for photo editing and I also want to eventually use it for High Definition Photography editing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI’m wondering about color spaces and how they affect working with BW digital images and digital printing (working in PS and LR).
I’ve been thinking that the grays are probably more limited by the bit depth (65,536 shades of gray for 16-bit vs. 256 shades for 8-bit.) than by whether or not you’re working in ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB, but that’s just a guess on my part. Does these two color spaces really better than the other, specifically for BW images and digital printing (I'm printing to an Epson 3880)?
I am interested in building an automated retouching system for a specific form of photography. The system needs to be able to handle a large workflow of images and create a look that is desirable and state of the art. I can see that there are a lot of systems out there that deal with portraiture etc and feel that if we could develop a similar system with actions for the specific work that I shoot it would be great.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have now finally taken the plunge and added a D100 to my camera bag (cracking camera).
Having been to a local camera club however I was dissapointed to see that all the phorographs displayed had drastically overexposed sky's and much detail lost as a result. It strikes me as somewhat lazy that nobody appears to have made any effort to compensate for this.
I do like night / available light photgraphy and notice from working with friends on night shoots that digital cameras can give unnatural daylight effects (partly because they dont suffer reciprocity I guess).
When using my F100 I would naturally tend to use filters (polarizer, ND grads etc) to retain some colour and detail in the sky. Similarly when using Mono I would use the usual red, yellow, green filters etc or I guess I could carry on using my Cokin P filters with my D100 or get a similar effect using photoshop (one I have worked through a few tutorials)
I know that P/Shop can emulate grad filters but what about polarizers?

I had subsctibed to the single program verion of CC early last year and purchased LR5 as soon as it was available, long before the Photography Bundle was introduced. Now I have no need for LR5 licence. Is there a way to unregister the program and have everything under CC? I have no need to install on 4 machines. Possibly transfer the LR licence?
