Has anybody had any experience in using the Green Screen Wizard? If so how are you lighting it?
I have it & use it for portrait photography and holiday cards. Great backgrounds.
What kind of lighting do you use to light the Green screen?
2 150w flourescents w/umbrella reflectors

Thanks to you and the original poster. I just bought green screen wizard and have put together a portable green screen studio. I am using 3 YN-560 II for key, fill and hair lights. Was looking for something cheap to light the screen. I already have 1 150 watt flourescent and was wondering if 2 would be good enough. You have answered my question without my even asking it!
Thank you again Gentlemen!
I was told 2 would be enough!!
You might try 2 Smith Victor hot lights for the background. That's what I am thinking about. Did you buy your Green Screen from Eric, from Green screen .com. in CA.?
Hi Photo One I also use Green Screen Wizard and use two 150w lights with umbrella or I also use the two YN 560 both set ups work fine just make sure you light up your background complete and evenly. I bought my ver. from Peter Flynn in Ca. Ken Colby is the CEO. Great software, Have fun.
I bought mine from Ken Colby also!

To be honest, I really didn't just buy it. My daughter bought it for me for Father's Day....I should have said I just received it. I have no idea where she bought it. I haven't even installed it onto my computer yet. I'm looking forward to playing with it next weekend. I have a couple of pictures of my granddaughters jumping in front of a green screen I want to play with. I have done some playing with green screens using PSE8 but this picture of them jumping sent their hair all over the place. I couldn't get even close with PSE8 to seperating the hair correctly. That is what prompted me to ask for it in the first place.

Just an update. I received my Green Screen Wizard Monday. I installed it and only have had 10 minutes to play with it. I had a couple of green screen shots I had done with my granddaughters. It was impromptu set up...I just draped the muslin screen over my daughter's entertainment center so it was wrinkled and I had to shoot it close. I had one shot of my 3 granddaughters jumping at the same time. I tried twice to extract the 3 of them but their hair was wild...I never was able to get it right. In 5 minutes I was able to extract the picture using Green Screen Wizard. The only downside I see so far is it is a resource hog...especially memory. but that really doesn't surprise me. I can't wait to do some better screen shots and play with it!
