The Green Screen Central is a self-contained educational center designed to teach photographers green screen technology. It is equipped with a monitor that easily demonstrates green screen capabilities using any of the several Savage products. Products include the Digital Background Starter Discs, Digital Themed Background DVDs, Accent Green Screen Cloth Backgrounds, Green/ Blue Collapsible Backgrounds and Complete Photo Creator Kits.

The digital background starter disc is said by the company to be the easiest software to use for removing backgrounds. Simply select the photo that was shot on a Savage green screen background, click on the tab to remove the background, then choose from a number of Savage’s digital backgrounds.

Outdoor photographers are known for carrying tons of gear, so they’re prepared for just about anything they encounter. We’ve addressed this burden in the past for landscape shooters who often hike great distances into the field, and for travel photographers who want to carry a minimum of equipment.

Today's tutorial from landscape pro Steve Arnold begins with an attention-grabbing question: "What if I told you there are two things you can start doing right now that will save you hours in Photoshop, freeing you up to editing more photos in less time?"

 “What is a LUT?” you ask. In technical terms, LUT is an acronym for “Look-Up Table”—a precise mathematical means of modifying RGB image values by changing hue, saturation and brightness of a photo to create a specific look. In basic parlance, a LUT is nothing more than a bunch of adjustment layers compacted into a single file that you can save and use with most editing programs available.

Most photographers use their images in a variety of ways. We post them to the Internet, share them on social media sites, print them for friends and family, and deliver hi-res files to clients. The task of outputting images for various purposes is time-consuming—unless you create custom presets as explained in the video below.
