Green Screen Portraits

My first attempt using a green screen. Plan to give the parents 3 options..

Mark III + 70-200 ISO 100 f/9

White Lightning 1600 with softbox as main, WL800 with umbrella as fill, WL800 behind and high as hair light

6x7 Denny pop-up green screen

C&C welcome!!

#1 Original

I think these look nice! I am sure the parents will love them all.

I love the second edit, it seems to bring out her eyes

good job

Look good.
What did you use to cut the girl out, and how?
I have tried a few times with CS3, and i just cant seem to get it 100%.

I used Primatte Chromakey by Digital Anarchy

It can be used as a plugin for CS3 and it works great so far. I just do a batch for each background color...Its not cheap but the plugin part is priceless for my workflow if the chroma is going to work for me.

Tried the demo, and it worked great.
However for $300 i will give it a miss.

I plan to use it quiet a bit so it was justified for me. Have run about 2000 images through the program since Monday at no issues so Im happy. Its not cheap but its not unreasonable given what it does...

I really like what you have done here ~ the third picture is my favorite.

All of them look great. But do I see a faint outline of green in her hair especially on the left hand side? But saying that, I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't know it was a green screen setup...

I agree that the second works. Her eyes are a great compliment to the background.

Yes there is. Thanks for the feedback. Its hard for me to tell how noticable that is given I am looking specifically for that. I picked this example because it was one of the few that had faint amounts of green in the hair.

how far from the backgrounnd is your subject?

and I am impressed at the plugin even masking out the fly aways

I had about 4-5ft seperation. Yes, the fact that the plugin is auto and does such a great job was the reason I bought it. Considering the batch process I have been very impressed!

I'm impressed that's a plugin (auto/batch). Usually when using a green screen a green tint is sometimes found in the hair which could be a pp nightmare. For those who might not know, background/subject separation is key.

Nice job eigga!
