Backdrops for the digital future.

Backdrops for the Digital Future! Now that so much of the photography process is digital, Backdrop Designer opens the way for new tools that fit into your workflow.

For instance, combine Backdrop with Primatte Chromakey, our powerful masking software. This process eliminates the need for expensive physical backgrounds. Backdrop Designer and Primatte Chromakey open up many creative possibilities, and the flexibility to find the perfect photograph.

What is Primatte Chromakey?

'Chromakeying' is a digital method of replacing one particular color (or color range) with a different image. This technique is consistently used in film and television to create a variety of special effects. More recently, chromakey has become very popular in photography to achieve a particular look after the photography session.

Here are the simple steps to merge Backdrop Designer and Primatte Chromakey.

1-		Photograph your client against a single color screen, typically chromablue or chromagreen.
2-		Use Primatte to extract that single color background, and get rid of any colorspill along the edges of your subject. This leaves your client against a transparent layer in Photoshop.
3-		Create another layer in your Photoshop file. Then use Backdrop Designer to quickly create beautiful digital backdrops.
4-		Offer your client a variety of background choices after the photoshoot.
