Does this allow you to choose a background and capture the image in real time, like for use in a photobooth, or only for post processing?

Post processing. You shoot your subject in front of the green screen then the green portion of the photo is replaced by your background photo during processing.

There is a plugin for AfterShot Pro that you can download and install called "zFrame". According to its description this plug-in draws up to five frames around an image. Each frame can be set with different size and color. I haven't used it so I can say how well it works or how robust it is. From just the description it seems to have limited capabilities, especially when compared against the Framing feature in PaintShop Pro. I don't know what you mean by a "background program" so I can't address that part of your question.

There is a monitoring feature that will allow you to see an constantly updating image which refreshes at a rate which depends on the processor speed of your computer. I would not call it a real-time image but with 2x2 binning it's close enough for focusing. Takes some getting used to. For planetary imaging I would recommend the eyepiece color video camera also sold by Orion.

I believe it does have that option, I think I turned it off when I was using it. It does fade in picture quality, some pictures will come out dark, but it's not a background or setting issue, & many of the pictures come out very pixelated, in spite of settings & background. I get 20x's the quality in pictures from my phone.

Im pretty sure. I used it for my wedding photobooth background. Its not as study, but it works for the price.

No, you need a capture device. Depending on your system, use a type of black magic design capture product.

I have the Black, White and Gray backdrop and use them for both photo and video. They give me a good background for both photo and video. You should be good.

I have tried some of the time lapse functionality and yes, it does. You set the interval, and the number of times you want to trigger the shutter. It does the rest.

Hi KImberly! No- technically you don't! If you use certain software that can cleanly extract a person or object out of a background, no you don't have to get a green screen. That being said, Clive at the EZBackground company can walk you through if you contact him. I believe he has replied to many customers questions on the forum. Also, I use Photoshop 7 but lean on Photoshop Elements 9. THey just released version 12- and it doesn't sound like they added a tremendous amount of features that people should feel compelled to get the newest version. Plenty of PSE versions around but I would not go lower than 9. Why not ask Clive your question and tell him what software you have so he can let you know if it will be compatible? I have many digital imaging programs but I bought nothing special in order to use this incredible set of cd's! And the company offers video tutorials you can watch online or even download until you get the hang of how to use certain features. It really is a fantastic buy for the price- so do consider buying it, if you speak to Clive( or any one at the company who replies to you ) and they advise if your software is compatible. This company is great and now they are sending out terrific, informative/ educational newsletters since they just enhanced their website! Good Luck, and if you buy it- have fun! :-)

When viewing the live image on your iPad (or other) you are able to simply tap on any point on the screen the the camera will instantly focus to that point. I don't know if this would work for preset focus points but it's great for focus stacking in stills.

I never tried to do that, but this software will allow you to change background, colors, etc. It is very similar to PhotoShop.

To be honest I do not know. I've only used jpegs, but I know there are many options for pixel quality & much more.

Any solid background will allow you to do that. This comes with three different solid backgrounds to choose from. The thing is you need the software to edit out the background, as well as the know how. If you don't have a program like Photoshop or similar you can't edit out the background and save it to a PNG.

No Software came with it. You can use photoshop to create or change the background of the picture after it is taken....

I actually sent mine back however I did toy around with it, and it seems that whatever is on your computer will project on the screen so if you pause the photo ON your computer, it will be mirrored on the screen.

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

Sorry, I haven't tried that yet. On my old camera, if I remember correctly, it was instantly.
