Hey Jim,

Thanks for sharing this. Would you be willing to post a couple of screen shots showing how you do this? I am very visually oriented, and sometimes it just helps seeing how you handle the process visually. I would also be excited to see some comparison crops as well with the competition. I am itching to purchase a green screen myself.

Silly question, do you think it would work equally well on any flat colored image (i.e. shooting on a white or blue screen, etc.)?

On another note, nice job with the design of the ad. It looks very nicely done.

Thanks again!!

James

PS If that question is indeed stupid, LOL, don't be afraid to tell me loudly. :P

We needed to work on the Sonny portraits to get out an ad for Dog News for tomorrow. So, Linda tried both the new pieces of software and CS3 and the end result was the CS3 version. According to Linda, you just drop the background out by using the "select color" menu and it creates a clean edge with plenty of detail. Here's the ad:



We'll do a little more experimenting with the other masking tools but if it works fine in PhotoShop then we'll continue to use it. Having the solid background color makes selection very simple. Once selected, it's easy to drop it out and make the background transparent.
