Yes, PSP can do this. But it's anything but a one- or two-click process. In order to do this, one has to prepare the background image, then carefully (and tediously) use the selection tools to outline the subject. Then copy the selection, switch to the background image and then use the "Paste as Selection" function to place it on the background. It gets easier with practice. There are several methods to adjust the blend between background and subject. Values for "Feather" and "Smoothing" and anti-aliasing can be adjusted and the "Soften" tool can be used to blend the outline of the placed selection.

absolutely, it would save on editing a picture to either fill in the space. Having the larger backdrop will allow the photo to utilize more space.

I'm not sure this is what you want, I bought it for my son to make videos where he can then add in a different background. Not sure if this is what you want to do with your pictures. It needs extra lighting.

Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm just begenning and the only backdrop I have is a blue one and I want to try this digital backgrounds collection to see how it works out for me. How has it worked for you?

the only way you can change adding anything other than 4x6 pictures, is by loosing the plastic film that makes a pocket. This piece of plastic is all one piece from top to bottom and then you would need to tape the verticule side so item doesn't fall out. Tried this with a 5x7 photo and was not pleased.

No software, but you can input a particular background in post-production. You can do this in most photo-editing software by creating layers.

You can use most any background its more about coverage like you can use a 6x8 for portraits (you could even use smaller like even a 4x4 fabric the hanger bar comes in 4 sections I believe you can go down to 2 sections. the main size you will want would likelt be a 10x10 as the bars can go 9.5 high. you could also do a 10x20 which would stream out for the ground cloth. you may also consider some clamps and tension clips (the sheet is 10 and the bar is like 11ft) I would not want to hang too heavy of a background on this system but does work.

No, those unsightly corners are not necessary. There are several products that allow you to simply apply a clear double adhesive on the back of your photo. Once applied, simply position the photo on the page. This is a great album.

Hello Jim, This is Cliff from EZbackgrounds. I do not currently know the answer to that question, but I have queried Photomate for specifics on compatibility. I will pass on that information as soon as I know the answer. I do know that even if we find that the program is compatible, it will only be with the backgrounds and not the frames. Any version of Photoshop is required to work with those. We also have a version for Corel PaintShop Pro as well. It sounds like you are probably more interested in backgrounds than the frames. If so, you should try our EZbackgrounds Premier 100 Digital Backgrounds Package available here on Amazon. Thank you for your inquiry. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. I'll be following up soon. Best Regards, Clive EZbackgrounds

I add photos to them all the time. It works, but not with that crisp photo finish.

You can just steam them out...or better yet, I store these backdrops bunched up...and honestly, the random wrinkles add to the character of the background.

Yes, one of the built-in "filter effects" is "feather" which can be applied to the edges of an inserted photo to create this result. Applying the effect to smaller images can leave them blurry overall, so it is not as precise a solution as feathering the edges of an image (before insertion) using an actual graphics editing program such as Photoshop or Serif's PhotoPlus -- but the capability is there nevertheless.

Its best to carefully cut them out. Or make a dark background because the wntire paper would be transfered and a white square will appear on it. So cut the white out.

If by editing you mean cropping then fine, but the screen colors are not very accurate if you are going to be making color adjustments. You can get more accurate colors on an external monitor though.

I wish I could help as I have a Gateway too, but I don't know anything about Photoshop. Sorry.

You could but you would need to get more muslin clamps for the top to hold the paper because the rod on top goes through the muslin. You could always use the green screen and replace the background via Photoshop.
