Now, you must be wondering that why do we use green colored screen as the background, and why not any other color? Well, the simple answer to this question is that we can use either blue or green screen in the background because they are contrasting colors to our skin tone. However, we prefer using green screen because the image sensor of digital camera is more sensitive towards green color, and it allots more pixels to the green channel. Besides this, it is practically possible to illuminate the green screen in a much easier manner as compared to the blue screen. Once you are over with the photo shot session, you will like to edit the image and add effects to them. The post-production part of photography also involves replacement of green backdrop in any image with any other image or animation.
