Nope, I have not used the package you speak of.. But I have used blue and green screens and chroma key for video.

Do you have a URL for this product?

 

Are you shooting video or stills?

Let me clarify the issue here............

 

They are offering the choice of either

blue or green screens with a selection of CD's

that have various backgrounds you can drop

your subject onto.............

 

That is what I was wondering if anyone has used........

If you're going to shoot an image that needs to be dropped into another background, make the shooting background as close as you can to the final image.

 

A green screen is for video where the chroma is selected and electronically made to dissappear. the green screen must be evenly and well illuminated. The subject must contain nothing that is similar in colour to the green screen and then the new background must be quite bright to burn through the edges.

 

As I say, if you know that you'll be dropping the subject into to a white background, shoot on a white background and make a layer mask.
