I bought this along with strobe lights to do some portraits of my young daughters and the photos turned out better than I thought they would. I bought a few other backdrops just in case the green screen thing didn't work out but I won't even need them. Family and friends are impressed with the quality of the finished product. Just dropped the photos into the software and it magically keyed in any background I selected. Much easier than manually doing it in Photoshop! And it does a decent job for someone without an expert photography eye. Some things to keep in mind, the included green sheet is thin and relatively small, but works out fine for small subjects. You will need at least two strobe lights to get a good key against the green screen. The included PhotoKey software is the Lite version...you need to purchase the upgraded software to get even better controls for adjusting your photos and the background keying. Overall though, I'd definitely recommend this for taking portraits at home and maybe even making a few dollars on the side doing photos for friends and family.

I am underwhelmed by the lack of creativity and variety of backgrounds that come with this software. There are about 95 different studio backgrounds, and about only 5 creative "fun" backgrounds to play around with. I was definitely hoping for more backgrounds that provided the opportunity of placing people in objects for instance there is only one flower to place a child or baby on and one jar, but tons of different colored backdrops!
The plus side is I have a portable studio now and I have printed out each backdrop and put an 8x10 glossy print in a portfolio to show each client prior to their shoot. Makes my job a lot easier and a lot more lucrative than investing in multiple backdrops.
All in all worth the money I paid for it!

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
This is a solid program but getting the green out is never 100% perfect unless the screen was lit-up sufficiently. This is also only the light version of the program and some of the features or not usable unless you upgrade to the full version. If you are looking to use a green screen this is a good buy, but I myself am going to stick with using different backdrops since it takes away from having to change the backgrounds after the shoot and it eliminates any issues of green color remaining.

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
Use this for short green screen effects in indie films. The material of the green screen is very thin cloth and can be shear depending on how it's lit so it's best to put it in front of a solid colored wall. I have not used the software and there are only a few included backgrounds that are of interest to me, but I bought it for the green screen, not the software or backgrounds.

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
Dont waste your time or money, this is garbage, Cheap background that the camera can see right threw, anything behind the green screen (and I am using the term green screen very loose, it's just green fabric with gromets),can be seen in the image, I lit the subject with over 1500 watts and the software still couldn't remove the green background, then left the edges of the subject gray from the feathering that can't be adjusted, the software is the worst green key software I have ever seen, if this is typical of westcott, I can't understand how they are still in business, your better off buying green fabric and using clamp work lights and removing the background using photoshop, I want my money back

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
I bought this screen for some of our 'fun' events at work. What a hit this was. We allowed hundreds of employees to pick a background and give us their email address. After we imported their picture in front of the green screen into one of the 100 background choices, we sent it to them as a JPG. The employees loved this and keep asking when is the next green screen day? You can also use your own backgrounds so we have used this for graduations, etc.

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
I've used this at family gatherings. Having a green screen set up to take head shots of all the family makes it much easier to get the photo you want without having to take multiple shots. Easy and fast set up, no tools required! I didn't like most of the backgrounds that came with the program, but it was a great starting point for me to see that I really like digital photography!

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
The screen is not so great, hard to iron and the material is very thin, if you point light against it, it will create some shadow as the light is going through it.
The enclised disk has some backgrounds, but nothing really special, it's more for kids than anything else.
I would save the money and get something better.

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
I recently purchased the digital green screen photo kit from BH photo supplies and I have to say it was the best thing I ever did. Before I purchased this item I searched the internet and many other suppliers about this kit, unfortunatley none were able to give me a clear cut answer. [...] I'm an beginner and never did any green screen work at all, [...] This kit is great and easy. [...] I want everyone to know that this product was so easy to use that within the first week of my purshase i was able to do my first portrait shoot and made double of what I paid, the real beauty is that an upgrade is just a click away. thank you BH!

This green screen and software are great. I love it. As long as you have no wrinkles you will have no shadows and it works great. I would buy it again and tell everyone about it.I took a box of Girl Scout cookies and did lots of different things to promote GS cookies.

Comments about Westcott Digital Green Screen Photo Kit:
Wonderful use once it's set up. I had to hang it, steam it, then iron it to get the wrinkles out. Once they are out, it's fine. You can be very creative with your drop out backgrounds from plain to scenic backgrounds.

I couldn't pass this deal up, and I have not been dissapointed. The only thing I don't like about it is how hard it is to get the wrinkles out of the green screen. Other than that it's great!
