Well done! I have taken photos since the late 60's, but never had any training. I am now learning how to "repair" my shots. I am also getting ready to start a channel and assist my grandson in starting his channel. The green screen techniques are fascinating, and also give some insight into how the media experts can blurs the lines of reality. As I have said repeatedly, you can never be too old to learn something new. Thanks for the instruction. Best regards from the banks of the Suwannee River in north Florida, USA.

When checking background exposure - it might have been helpful to show uneven exposure and how to fix it. Otherwise, good to go.

Hi, great video and very informative. I'm looking to take stock imagery for my website, of products I'm selling (electronic items with RBG lighting elements to them), could you recommend a setup? Amazon has many green screen kits for example (I'm hoping a small setup like these will suffice, think green screen in a shed lol). Additionally do you have any camera recommendations that are relatively cheap but still respectable for my use case? Also is there any quirks when placing green screen underneath the object when it's resting on a table / ground and taking images? And now that I think about it, how does the type of lense affect the shot...

This has been very useful, but I can still see green tinge in the hair. If I have the same issue, how can I target that specific problem area better?

New layer. Clip it to the subjekt. Color blend mode. Sample the closest hair color and paint carefully. Good luck!

Can you use any other color for the background as long as the subject doesn’t have the color on? Or does it only work with green screen?

@theschoolofphotography Жыл бұрын

You can use any colour as long as it contrasts with the subject

Hi Jesk thanks for your message happy to help here. You will need Photoshop to do this. Adobe doesn’t sell Photoshop as a standalone program anymore. Instead they provide various types of plans which include it. The best one to buy is the ‘Photography Plan (20GB)’ which includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom CC for a monthly fee. For more details on this plan click here - www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/compare-plans.html?red=a Hope this helps, anything else please let me know.

Rosie's time keeping dosn't seem that great 😂 What colour are green screens generally? I'm using Photoshop CS3 and I tried using Channels, ie separating the Green one, as the 85% Fuzziness dosnt seem to work. I whacked the fuzinness to Max 200% and it seems to fix the problem Perhaps the Algorithm isnt as great on older versions of PS Also a bit of tweaking on the Refine edges helps
