ADDING DIGITAL BACKDROPS TO YOUR PHOTO PACKAGE

If you normally shoot in a studio using muslin or roll paper backdrops you can easily start adding digital backdrop shots to your photo packages without altering your regular shooting style. 

While chroma keying is usually done with a specialized green or blue colored backdrop, in Photoshop CS It's really not necessary, you can use any solid color as the key color [The background color to be made transparent in the subject photo revealing the backdrop image.]   but there are some other useful software products that work best with a specialized Chroma key color backdrop and we'll discuss some of the ones we find useful in a later post.   

STEP 1: Take the shots, review & upload for clients final selection from the shoot.

STEP 2: We have them select 4 out of around 8 different CHROMASTOCK HD digital backdrops [ Whichever 8 we think would work best with clothing, clients Style, mood of the shots etc...]

STEP 3: We pick what we think is the best shot in the final group and put the 4 different CHROMASTOCK HD backdrops into a single Composite image 

STEP 4: They select a final digital backdrop from the Composite image and choose 4 favorite shots for it to be used with. 








STEP 5: We Retouch the chosen images add the Digital Backdrop they selected & we're done. Using Photoshop CS It take about a 1/2 Hour to 45 Minutes of time to complete the 4 Images.

WELCOME TO THE CHROMA STOCK HD BLOG:

The idea for Chroma Stock HD was born because of the poor quality and lack of uniformity in the current marketplace that made locating, using  and changing between digital backdrops doubly time consuming.

So we started creating our own series of backdrop images that both mimic live studio spaces and are each viewed from the same perspective to make switching between them a one click process without any further retouching or re-sizing of the main subjects.
