Hi guys,

a few weeks back, some posted a link to some software, I can't recall the name of it! An age thing :wink:

Essentially it allowed one to take a picture of an item or person on a green backdrop, get rid of the green backdrop and paste the ite,/person onto another picture.

Anyone remember what it was called?

Thanks for that link Adam, certainly the sort of effect I was wanting. I wonder if there's a similar plugin for Photoshop?

Email the stuff in your time - no problem.

That's the one, thanks :)

Unless there a chromakey plugin for Photoshop, the process is a bit fidly.

I'm not sure how much I'll use it. I was thinking that if I do shows, like a classic car show nearby in May, I could download some backgrounds and print some shirts with someone in the foreground! This is why it would have to be easy and quick to use as I don't want to be faffing around editing images.

I'd also like some way to apply simple border effects, like vignetting etc. I know how to do it in steps but it all takes to much time.

At our local xscape, there is a srtall with that kind of software, charge £5 a picture, and the guy has it done in about a minute.

I suppose it's like anything, the more you use it, the better you'll get at it :)
