Before and After

A work colleague asked about creating chromakey / green screen images the other day. The wanted to use their Mac computer to superimpose pictures of students on notable Chicago locations.

My quick-and-dirty suggestions were:

• Photo Booth (the easiest, most appropriate solution from my perspective)
  • The downside to using Photo Booth is that it crashes on my laptop due to my installation of a Bluetooth webcam.
• iMovie (a bit of a hack, but the process within iMovie is extremely easy)

Another colleague suggested using Photoshop. This tutorial clearly outlines the process. The above example only took a few minutes to create – I did not follow the tutorial fully to the end (hue saturation) which would have removed the green fringing.

Another option would be to use Veescope on iPad.
