Reflecmedia - Chromatte Chroma Key - part 4 of 1 2 3 4 5

The RAW file, cut out PNG, the background and the final composite.

How green can it be?

Curious, we showed the LED light to our ambient light spectrophotometer to measure the colour of the output. It is typical of its type, with a peak output close to 530nm and very little spread. What amused us (it’s easy to do!) were the Lab values for the colour co-ordinates. Compared with a Macbeth Chart green, they were not on the same page as the graph and only just on the one next to that! Small wonder that something so far out in the gamut field is easy to isolate and cut out. MMcN

Increased sales may result from the limitless choice of backgrounds at your disposal and the need to store heavy and bulky muslins or canvases is no longer required. Portability is also a key factor in any studio that operates an ‘at home’ service. The amount of equipment required is much reduced when all you need is available light!

As far as complicated composites such as the Cave Warrior is concerned, you have to want to do this kind of stuff! That said, the job of keying the main components has just got a whole lot easier and there could be no more praise than yours truly putting a system on order! A video showing the test session is available on my You Tube channel... http://www.youtube.com/user/tomleephoto?feature=mhum

Script Error

Error:

Can't verify file locking - aborting.

Make sure the following has been observed:

Unix Servers:
  • rightcolban.cgi is writable by this script
  • If a file locking problem, make sure the directory this script resides in is writable. Note, the directory does not have to be writable for the script to write to files, only for it to create files. File creation is required for proper file locking.
Windows NT systems:
  • rightcolban.cgi must be writable and accessible by the script
  • banner.cgi must be able to write to files and create files
  • On some NT systems, the variable near the top of banner.cgi must be set. It is currently set as follows:
      $main::rightcolban_path = "rightcolban";
    Note that under most systems, "." is fine. This specifies that it is set to the current directory. However, some NT systems require the full server path. Contact your system administrator to find the full path to your cgi-bin directory.
If you still have trouble, contact Banner@linc2u.com and I will attempt to help.
