What's In The Video?[divider line_type="No Line" custom_height="30"]

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] video from 2013 that is still totally relevant today looking at ideas and suggestions on how to remove and work with a black muslin background or backdrop in a home studio. This goes together with this video which looks at a white background. The technique is very similar on both with some differences around the key tools required to get the job done.[divider line_type="No Line" custom_height="30"]This is done in Lightroom CC and uses the blacks and whites sliders, exposure, graduated filters, heal tool, adjustment brushes and sharpening tools to create a good looking final result. It will work fine for anyone using Lightroom 4 and upwards (as some of the tools were introduced with Lightroom 4).If you're on a budget, low cost continuous lighting and a few muslin backdrops can be purchased for less than $100. With a bit of space and imagination, you can create some great images.Thanks to Kate for posing for me when she was 39 weeks pregnant. 3 of the final images from this shoot can be seen below.If you like what we do, please do subscribe to the channel.
