"I love your process for making digital backgrounds! It's much easier than others I've seen. I'm able to create one in about 1 minute. Whereas, by doing the other way I've been taught, I would spend almost 10 minutes (that doesn't include the time it takes to remember how to do it)."
J Wilson,
"I have just read your E-book on how to create digital backdrops... It is well laid out, and I found the instructions easy to follow... I use Adobe CS and all the steps worked as described...
I found this E-book to be a very informative and sound basis for creating quick and professional looking backdrops... Please inform me if you produce any more in the series..."
K McDonald,
"I just completed the tutorial. I found it to be a very good trick. It is all that is advertised. I used PS CS, but had no trouble with the instructions. I very much like all the short cuts you added, this is what makes it go so fast..."

I just used the information found in your e-book, "How To Make Your Own Digital Backgrounds" for the first time. Wow! This is the exact tool I have been looking for at just the right time. I have been doing portrait photography (amateur) for many years now, and am learning to use Photoshop 7. I have many portraits whose backgrounds just didn't look right. With your information, I am now able to construct perfect backgrounds for all my digital photos. Many thanks for the e-book. It is well worth the purchase price!

You're right it took me less than five minutes to go through the process. I am new to digital imaging especially using Photoshop so a step by step procedure (meaning what key to press) is really helpful. The procedure is concise and to the point. It doesn't stray like other procedural books that I have read.

First of
all let me say what a fantastic video, a very informative film with very
clear and precise instructions so even a novice Photoshop user like me
had no trouble hiding it. I had seen the extract method before but your
explanation as you carried out the task and method I thought was
brilliant, and a lot easier to follow than just a plain old tutorial.
Your digital backdrops methods are second to none, after spending 5
minutes quickly running through your detailed instructions, I had
created a digital backdrop, with hotspot. Now at leisure I can make any
colors I want without having to go through the process again, although
it doesn't really matter as a matter of 5 minutes and you can create a
whole new one.
As somebody striving to become a self employed digital photographer, but
not too excited about spending large amounts of money on muslin
backdrops etc and portrait background, I found this to be a perfect
alternative, with some stunning results.

" Although
I was a little wary about ordering something
what I've already learn how to make backgrounds to look more like
studio. But your video is worth every penny. I have had to work more
time trying to make my cutout not to look pasted. You really have cut my
time way less than I expected. Thank you for putting light on that
subject and I called it "one of my $1000 secret tips!" LOL. People asked
how I do it and I just zip my lips seal. Once again, thank you!"

Au contraire, I say. There is no limit to the level of composition and treatment you can give your flower pictures. You can go for a color scheme to match your current décor, you can choose a famous artist and emulate his style. Your creations may contain two, three, five or many blooms (try to stay away from the one big bloom in the middle). Attractive compositions can contain two flowers, one large, one small forming a diagonal. Three blooms create a triangle with one acting as the main subject and the other two as their counterparts. Racemes offer a built in curve and specie tulips are in a class of their own.
Photoshop and their like offer thousands of ways to improve your flower photographs. Unwanted items in the background can be cloned out, flower heads may look better moved over to a better location and additional blooms can be added to fill in an empty spot. Don’t neglect the edges, for special treatments like bevels, chalk borders and faded out vignettes can add interest to the piece. With digital photography there are no limits to attaining the image created in your mind.
In the field, special attention must be paid to the overall look of the picture. Try to decide what it is about a particular scene that grabs you fancy. Is it the unusual light descending on your subject, the quality and tone of a different looking background, or is it just the way your subjects relate to each other? Choose one quality and try to capture the peak of that essence in your digital camera. If you are successful in this respect at the expense of another facet of the picture, it can be fixed later on your computer.
Arboretums and botanical gardens are a bonanza of opportunities for the nature photographer. Even the pollinating insects can get into the act. The subject of flower photography may be the easiest to get started on, but can be the most rewarding for the creative artist.
