I’ve had a couple of weeks to mess around with the PhotoLynx Version 2 green screen now and I’m excited to say that it works really well!
What makes this better then other green screen software out there, is that it is very automated. It inserts a preselected background behind the subject. The background gets entered through data and then the process is left to run on it’s own.
No green screen is going to be perfect. But, PhotoLynx puts tools to help bring back in the green in clothing, where it might have dropped. It allows for easy and quick adjustments to the images to prep them for rendering.
If you are debating about going to green screen or not, please know it takes extra time. Therefore, you need to cosider it in your pricing of packages. One pricing model that I have seen, is although 100% of the school is photographed on green screen, they charge $5.00 extra for any background other then the traditional. The extra cash makes up for the extra time it will take.

Hi,
I really liked your post, interesting perspective. I was looking out for the same kind of information. Thanks a lot for sharing it and look forward to see more tips on green screen.
A green screen must be edited in order for it to appear differently. Use a continuous green screen instead of a green screen that is divided in sheets. The division will cause visual impairments in your work even after editing. Hence, it is wiser to use the former kind of greenscreen than the latter kind.
One of the techniques to be more hassle free in your editing job is by keeping your manual shooting well lighted. In a green screen studio, you must have at least two lights for your background when you shoot. This will ensure an evenly toned background. Please be reminded that your subject must also be lighted so that the subject will be seen clearly. A well toned greenscreen background is easier to edit than uneven ones.
