I am wondering if anyone knows what software is used to do the overlay
shown at this website. Do we know if the background is a backdrop or
a screen like greenscreen? http://www.politeinpublic.com/

Hi Linda,
Polite in Public use an actual back drop. They are not green screen. But if your programmer can add a keying element to this, wow that would be fantastic!!! As far as the overlay goes, there are a couple of software packages that I know of that do the overlay. www.greenscreenwizard.com and http://fxhome.com/photokey-3. Both of these do have an overlay element built in to the software. But as far as I know, and I am not a computer wiz at all, the overlay is just a .png file. I could be wrong, but in the video I watched on the green screen wizard, when he got the overlay, it was a " png file" I'm guessing it would just be a transparent overlay of sorts. They have everything set up in layers on these software packages.
I think that polite in public uses their own software, because they seem to have a bit of effect on the picture as well. Their unit is like something I've never seen. If you watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke07--GofkM you will see what I mean. It's not operated by the person getting their picture taken either. It's control by touch screen, but by an operator not guest.
Having an overlay is definitely important for personalization purposes.
Hope that helped answer your question.

Well, in this video, it is a backdrop, but polite in public acutally does sets.... they build them according to the client (it costs extra) but they do an awesome job... Their type of thing is more like a photoshoot in a cool photobooth kind of way...... if you check out their website, you can check out other stuff they have done... its amazing :D--

Wow - they do a cool thing. So , I am going to tell the programmer to give us the selection option at the front and back end. I will ask about the color adjustment. Does anyone know what kind of camera that is?

So I just sent the programmer an e-mail telling him we owuld like the
selection on the front end before the pic is taken and on the back end
after it is taken as well as asked about the light dark adjustment.
Argh! That sound is me being strangled!!
I have worked with green screen and it is super simple (assuming the
light is right) but it does require manual selection. Also the
lighting has to be perfect or there is a problem. So will continue to
see what we can do about the background issue. The overlay will be
easier and we will be able to do that automatically. It may not
happen right away. This is a work in progress.
