Just curious.. has anyone purchased and used the 'Green Screen Wizard' products? Curious how well it works. I've done a tiny bit of GS work, but wondered about their product. Thanks for your input.

I have used Green Screen by PhotoWorks. I would guess it's much the same, found it easy to use without much of a camera or camera skill.

Have you tried the free demo?
http://www.greenscreenwizard.com/Thankyoudownload.aspx

I tried the demo and was not happy enough to spend $130 for it. I had problems with the background color (green or blue) bleeding trough in areas that were hard to correct, e.g., with a blue background replaced by an American flag, my blue eyes became white stars. :)

It is easy to learn and use, but considering the price is double what Elements is, there are better ways to replace backgrounds. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Thanks All, for the replies. I'm not considering it for myself. My daughter was interested in it, and asked my advice. Since I have not had any experience with it, thought I'd see what any hoggers had to say. Appreciate your input.

Thanks bee, but what I've been trying to look into is when the subject was originally placed in front of the green screen, creating the first photo. My daughter has been considering buying it and I was curious about the actual green screen... size, etc. Nice job on the dog photo.

Just check Amazon. Green screen is common enough now that you can get the background in just about any size.

Thanks OddJobber, I'll do that, but was curious about if the green screen comes with the software and if so, what size it might be. Thanks.

Greeen Screen Wizard does bundle with screens.
http://www.greenscreenwizard.com/product.aspx#GSWEquipment

IMHO though, way too spendy. Best to buy elsewhere.

OK, so I'm always the skeptic. Have you tried this one?

Some of the caution flags I see are: The image they show includes a green screen and a backgrounds CD, but the price is for download of the program only. The full bundle is $99. Very little to show how well their program works, other than a 1 1/2 minute "anyone can do it" video. No type of demo offered. And (drum roll please) "Once activated, product cannot be refunded".

Hi Oddjobber
I have had this and used it, just for fun. for over a year.
when I got mine it was also $49.00. The down load started right away and the disc and green sheet came in the mail with in a week. I don't know if that is still the case or not. I guess one could call and make sure before sending money.
