As long as you’re not wearing green or blue clothing, the cutout should be decent. To get clean separation between the virtual background and your real face, you want the portions of your body that appear in the frame to contrast as much as possible with the real background.įor example, position yourself in front of a completely green or blue background and then drop out of the frame. The truth of it is that this feature-in my and, apparently, your, experience-simply doesn’t work well. It appears that you have committed the unpardonable sin of not contrasting enough with the real scenery behind you. In other words it seems that by coming back into the picture I have screwed up the video back drop. I come back into the picture to sit at my desk and the video backdrop that I picked is now intermixed with the real backdrop. The screen then says it has detected a background and that message then disappears. The message on the screen tells me to move out of the picture, which I did.
While using Leopard’s Photo Booth I selected one of the video options that puts a moving background behind me. I just installed Leopard and started to play with it. Reader David Voros assumes blame for something that is largely out of his control.
