Design Tips

How to make your greenscreen photos realistic:

1. Try to match the lighting/brightness of your foreground picture to your background's lighting.

Which picture's background matches the foreground's lighting the best?

2. Scale your foreground picture to your background

Is the bride in scale with the tree and building?

3. If the subject is wearing green, the Greenscreen software will make the clothing disappear.

4. Keep your greenscreen as wrinke-free as possible. Wrinkles will cause shadows in your finished image.
