Photoshop help: Best background to remove.
Jul 28, 2016 10:14:42 #
This weekend I'll be shooting a model. I plan to cut her out of the image and Photoshop her into a different background.
For this, would it be best to shoot her on an all black background? or an all white one? (Those should be the only choices the studio should have to offer)
The new background/final image will have an overall dark tone.

James, it depends upon the clothes she is wearing.

Tough call...
She'll be doing four poses which will be placed separately in the final picture. Once in a dark robe, once dragging a white sheet, and the others, just nude.

Can you set up two backdrops? One white and one black?

Possibly. The studio I'm using has one room set up black and one (generally) white. (The trick is that I'm only assigned one room and can only use the other if it's free -- but it seems traffic is going to be light that day....)

That is what I would do. Use both rooms or hope traffic is light. Piece of cake to separate white against black and black against white. Not fun white against white and dark against dark. Have fun. Sounds like a great project

The industry uses green, from the weird weather guy to special effects and stunts in movies. That should be a big hint....

If you are doing a color, green or blue chroma key screens are pretty standard. In your situation, even gray, black or white can work. Make sure that whatever you use, it does not create reflections and you have nothing of the same color in the subject. If you find some things missing from your mask it is easy enough to paint back in.

I agree that green screen (lime green) will give you the best options.

The project is to try to recreate this image (Paul Delvaux's The Sleepy Town). THe model will be all four (um.. five) women in the picture. The background will be assembled from other picture, and I'll be the man on the left.

Answering the question within the parameters you gave; use the black background. When cutting her out, if you should for any reason, have some residual background cut out with her - it will not show as much as the white would.

Do not use green as it cast a greenish tint along the edges.
White would be my choice and I believe Kelby had a tutorial
that also said that.
Minimize the light on the background to get dark gray even
on a light background.
