Batch Chromakey
If you have a serials of photos taken with same pure-color background, you can consider to use this function for saving time in open/save files one by one.
This batch function is designed for such users who have to be effective to process plenty of photos every day, it is a 'extended edition' function, which means you can try it during trial period, but you must purchase 'extended edition' instead of 'standard edition' after trial.
The interface:
After a file is opened, click 'Create Complex Selection' wizard button and choose 'Batch Chromakey' from the dialog.
In popup dialog:
Photo List : Click 'Add' to select and add photos to list; Click 'Del' to remove one of them from list.
Review and Edit : For most photo, the matte of chromakey processing will contain many defects, you need to review the result and fix them. See tutorial 2.
Check this option to review, fix and confirm the results one by one. You will see a 'Next' button on algorithm settings window like this, click to save current and switch to next:

Uncheck this option to ignore review and output result to file directly. This may save more time, but once the matte is saved as PNG file, you can not be able to edit them any more. So, we suggest you to check it, unless you are sure the photos meet all requirements of 'chromakey background' strictly.
Background Color
There are 3 ways to acquire the background color:
- Automatically : for most photos it works well.
- From fixed location: Get color from a relative, fixed position of a photo. Click the thumbnail to appoint it.
- Specify color: Use same color as background for all photos. Click the thumbnail to set it.
- File output
You can set the output folder and the filename. The output matte is stored in a 24 bit PNG file with masks. |
