New! Green Screen Shooting for Photobooths and Event Photographers
The photobooth mode in DSLR Remote Pro for Windows v2.0 and NKRemote v2.0 introduces green screen shooting. Green screen photography works by taking photos of the subject in front of a green background and then automatically replacing the background with a background image. The background image can be anything you like such as an exotic location, a cityscape or even a photo of the President of the United States.
DSLR Remote Pro for Windows v2.0 and NKRemote v2.0 will display the live view images to the user with the green background replaced with the background image as shown in the basic setup below:

The live view display in DSLR Remote Pro for Windows/NKRemote automatically replaces the green backgound with the background image in real time. This means that users see live view images of themselves in front of the final background and not the green background that the camera sees. An optional overlay image can be placed over the live view images to provide a foreground layer. By combining live view with green screen and an overlay image users are able to interact with a virtual scene containing both foreground and background elements. This could be jungle scene with foreground bushes to hide behind, a mock up for a magazine cover or anything that has a background and a foreground.
DSLR Remote Pro for Windows/NKRemote will take the photos, perform the green screen removal and print the images without the need for any other software. Please see the DSLR Remote Pro for Windows and NKRemote help files for information on how to setup green screen shooting.
