I have the CowboyStudio Seamless White Vinyl Background but I want to get the Cowboystudio Backlight Strobe Flash Studio Photography Kit and Adorama Color Filter. I just want to know will I be able to see the color on my background.

Betty -- Yes, you will definitely see the color. However, please be aware that the recycle time on the Backlight Strobe is slow -- about 3 seconds between charges. If you're shooting people you will find this frustrating. If you're shooting products, not so much.

I believe there are a few options for a background that you can use. Just go to the settings and there should be a few choices.

Hello Mike, This is Clive from EZbackgrounds. I had not worked with PhotoSuite in a while, so I took some time to download the new version and test it out to see if it was more compatible than previous versions. Much like Corel PaintShop Pro, PhotoSuite does open psd files, but it does not support various elements of the PSD format such blending modes, effects, text and other elements of the PSD format. Therefore, I cannot recommend it for use with this package that includes frames, actions and other items intended specifically for use in any version of Photoshop. However, PhotoSuite will work with the backgrounds as they are in jpg-compatible tiff format which is fully supported by PhotoSuite. We have a backgrounds-only package available on Amazon that will work perfectly with PhotoSuite. It is the "Premier 100 Digital Backgrounds Package". Enter "digital backgrounds in the Amazon search engine and it should appear as the second item listed behind this package. Although my research was limited to an hour or so, I did find PhotoSuite to be a little buggy. It crashed on me three times while using it. I should note that it could be something particular to my computer configuration that is causing the bugginess and not necessarily something that everyone will experience. For the reasons stated above, I would still recommend Photoshop Elements for use as an alternative to the professional CS and CC versions of Photoshop over any other program I've seen thus far. I hope that helps. If not, or if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. Best Regards, Clive at EZbackgrounds

Yes, I've added my own back grounds. Everything doesn't work. Experiment and you will get pretty good results. I use a Nikon D7000 for my pictures. Beware that anything that has shades of green in it will get color changed or stripped buy the program.

I'm not having any color casting problem at all. I would think using a grey card would correct it, or set balance to the flash setting if its not already. I have been just shooting auto white balance. What I find most helpful is U-tube tutorials: it's how I learned everything about my camera, speed light, strobes and softboxes!

It only prints color based on tape. Most common is black print on white background but you can get different Tz tapes. If you are looking for multicolor this does not do that

Hi Lori, This is Clive from EZbackgrounds. This collection of backgrounds is compatible with any version of Photoshop Elements. It does not have to be one of the newer versions. I hope that helps. If not, or if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. Best Regards, Clive at EZbackgrounds

I wanted to photograph small jewelry & lace items but found that the lighting sources are not bright enough to go through the white surround and allow me to get the photos I want. I do like the background clothes in various colors to hang down and let me have a smooth background.

These light modification components are made specifically for a speedlight, I don't know how they can be used on a studio light. It's an interesting question, perhaps w/ some creativity it's possible...A.D.

The kit comes with many colors that you mix to get the color you want. It has a black and a white and you could experiment with them until you match. It did work but our couch is rust and it dried lighter at first. We remixed and it worked great.

I agree with everyone else but I would add that equally important are the umbrellas you are using with the lights. The umbrellas that came with the kit when I purchased it were a soft white umbrella and they are great for their purpose but I also wanted a more reflective umbrella. Cowboy Studio does have reflective umbrellas that you can purchase at a reasonable price, or if you want to MacGyver it you can line the umbrella with aluminum foil. I would go with the reflective umbrellas though and save the aluminum foil for when you are in a pinch.

There aren't instructions, however if you take a good look at the photo, you can basically see how it goes together. Put the velcro sides together which creates the little studio "box". I know that the picture shows the black carrying case part at the back, however I have it as the roof. I don't want the dark of the back to bleed through, so that it is stark white (when I use the white background). You'll need to select which of the backdrops you'd like to use, attach it to the velcro on the inside, and then set your two lights, one on either side of the studio and you're ready to go. Be careful, the lights get quite hot rather quickly!
