IMPORTANT INFO HERE!
We do a lot of artists the request that chroma key background, I think because they import into video software that has chroma key features. With that being said, if you are just doing photo work, you will avoid many extra steps if you shoot subject on a Light Gray Seamless Background. Keeping it neutral will eliminate the color cast spillover into the subject area.

Example 2 on a digital fire background. This vid will show how to create a simulated fire background and other ways to remap the color temperature of the image to unify it with the background.

Hi Mama,

I was wondering how you were able to zoom in when you had levels open. I can not seem to do this, I just get my computer beeping at me.

Thanks for all your great video's!

[photoshopmama]

Zooming is done in the postproduction of the video through the Camtasia software--not Photoshop!

[noelninomatias]

what photoshop version do you use?

[photoshopmama]

Currently CS3 but these methods work in all versions of Photoshop but NOT Photoshop Elements.

because photoshopmama needs to make a living.

I been trying to figure out how to get that low light effects that u often see in the victoria secret add, where the face is bright and darken as it fades out to the hair and background giving that low light effects...?
