Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:10 pm Post subject: Chromakey photography |
|
|
I'm new to the Photoshop Forums.
However I am really interested in learning more about my photoshop program so I figure this is the best way.
I'm diving in with a real problem that I have.
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.
Anyone?

I'm sorry but I have nothing that I can post.
However, from what I'm told, it's "color spill".
I normally see this when a subject is standing on the
backdrop and they are photographed from the feet up. |

Hi David,
Is the chroma-key screen blue or green? Depending on the garments that your model is wearing, there can be problems when keying her/him out. What do you mean by "spilling" in your initial post? |

"Color Spilling" is when the blue or green chroma key drop "reflects" back on to the subject.
I use blue. |
