If you purchase this you will need some type of Photoshop editing program. A lasso tool is required.

I don't think you have to use green screen but it makes it easier. Green screen is taking your photos with a green backdrop so the editing process is easier. If you have Photoshop you can do the editing without the green backdrop.

If you have Photoshop or Paintshop Pro, not only do you not need a green screen but as a professional photographer I recommended you do not use one. A simple black, white, or color background that is darker or lighter than your subject's hair is all your need. Then just use the eraser tool to remove the background and leave the hair. Green screens are more for video.

First of all do not feel stupid asking any questions on here. A green screen program is what you use with the digital background collection. As a rule of thumb you can use most solid back ground screens like a greenscreen or a blue screen or a white screen. The idea is though to use a background that is not a part of any of the other colors in what you are shooting so when you take it out and put in the back ground you want it will not wash away anything you want. A green screen is often best because it is a color that is not in your shot as it is usually a neon greenish green. The program helps to separate and blend all of this color and background. I hope that helps. First of all do not feel stupid asking any questions on here. A green screen program is what you use with the digital background collection.

Hi Thomas - I'm on a mac. PacificImageSelects included SW "CyberViewX" is quirky stuff. It can only save in tiff and has no dust removal. Need to purchase VueScan or Photoshop (via CyberViewX as TWAIN) to go for more - e.g Raw. Unfortunately Macs ImageCapture - personally i like it and use it with some Epson scanners - doesn't recognize the PacificImageSelect. Sorry, but the Pacific Hardware is not bad rather then the SW.

For a green screen to work, you must have software that will support chroma key. The old Windows Movie Maker had a patch that you could download but it won't work with the newer Windows Live Movie maker. I use Cyberlink PowerDirector 10 and it works great with green screens. Your background goes on the top of the timeline, then the greenscreened video in the video slot below that on the timeline, and then you open the video in another box and click on chroma key, sample the background green in a medium shaded area, and set the tolerance with sliders so all the green disappears. I'm pretty sure most video software will work that way. For a green screen to work, you must have software that will support chroma key.

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

It's up to your imagination in what you can do by using layering to move objects from one photo to another, or just remove objects. It's by far the best bang for the buck, make sure you get the ultimate and when you load it, do both the 32 and 64 bit version as there are many existing tools that only run on 32 bits that you can import, you can even import Adobe images. I extracted a red rose from a bush, and filled the background in black after changing the rose to soft white, came out beautiful. Best of all, there are both text and video help for the tools even on youtube. It will take time to learn and I recommend taking notes when you do something, saves effort next time you try it. Enjoy

We purchased Adobe Premier Elements 12 from Best Buy. Our computer already had Windows movie maker, but we wanted more bells and whistles to our videos so we were given the recommendation to purchase the new software. It also comes with a green screen setting. We are happy with the APE12.

I save it and use the rest. The only "warning" is that the color might be slightly different than the first application. No problem for me!

If you mean the screen background. Yes, you can change it. Actually you can connect a USB drive and transfer images.

You can use iMovie or Final Vut Pro if using a Mac. If using Windows Sony movie studio also green screen is also known as chromakey. As you key out the green or some times blue screens. So when searching that may help.

I'm in the same boat as you - I'm ready to buy, but the lack of an updated color screen is the last obstacle preventing me from doing so. I sent a message to Gracie asking 'bout a color display - will post back if / when I get an answer.

Hello Danielle, These are just backgrounds only. Our product with props,frames as well as backgrounds is the 1500+ Professional Digital Photo Backgrounds and Photography Frame Templates. It should turn up as #1 if you enter "digital backgrounds" into the Amazon search. I hope that helped. Best Regards, Clive at EZbackgrounds

You have to use a computer a with monitor. I purchased digital art software at around $40 also, but it _might_ work with pre-installed apps on a computer like Windows Paint.

When you purchase the digital backgrounds you are purchasing an implied license to use them as a part of a composite photo. You can not make a copy of the CD and resell the digital backgrounds.

Hello Ryan, honestly I haven't ever tried "green screen" or "chroma" editing before, but for the price, I would hope it could deliver. I know for some software programs the extra plug-in to enable such a feature was about $30. According to the answer Martin provided, I'd say it does have that capability.Sorry I couldn't answer your question directly!
