What are digital backdrops?
Digital Backdrops are image files on CD in .tif format. They are a digital version of the muslin backdrops used in portrait photography and product advertising. The backdrops are various patterns, designs, and scenic images which provide mood, context, depth to your subject.
How do they work?
These would be used instead of an actual muslin backdrop that can cost hundreds of dollars. There is no software to install. The backdrops are used with your image editing program. Basically, the process is a copy and paste. The subject is extracted from the source photo, then pasted onto the digital background. There are more fine-tuning aspects to the process which are covered in detail with the free tutorial provided on the CD.
What is a .tif image?
A .tif (.tiff) image is a file extension that is best suited for the storage and usage of graphics and photos. The integrity of the image is not degraded due to compression. Nearly all image editing programs will work with .tif images including, but not limited to, Photoshop (all versions), Paint Shop Pro, Corel Painter, and many more. For specific recommendations click here.
Do I need a green or blue screen for these to work?
No, this can actually make it more difficult. Your image editing program can key in on any solid color including your own walls at home. And this is just to make it easier. In the free tutorial provided on the cd, we show you how to extract your subject from a cluttered background.
Will this work on my computer?
If you have an image editing program that is compatible with .tif and/or .jpg images, you can use the digital backgrounds.
Can I pay any other way than a credit card?
Yes, we do accept money orders. Your item is shipped when certified check and money orders (i.e. purchased at store, bank, post office, etc.). Items paid with personal check will be shipped when funds clear. Click here for auction for checks and money orders.
Do you accept international orders?
Yes, we accept international orders from anywhere in the world. We have technical support in English language only. If you wish to purchase the dvd for international mailing click here.
What is dpi and what does it mean?
DPI or PPI refers to Dots (Pixels) Per Inch. This is how many pixels are in one inch of a given image. The higher the number, the closer to photo quality the image. 300 dpi is the standard for photo quality images.
Can I print larger than 8x10?
Yes, the backgrounds that are abstract (created on computer) can be enlarged to 16x20 and over with some simple one-click fine-tuning. The image backgrounds (scenics, textures, etc.) have professional photo quality up to 8x10. But, more often than not, a scenic background needs to be blurred a little for depth of field. In those cases, you can enlarge to 16x20 and over.
What does royalty-free mean?
Nearly all images are copyrighted. The contents of Ezbackgrounds.com are no exception. For instance, you couldn't copy these images and sell them or share them with anyone else. Because they are royalty-free, this means you can use them as part of an overall project for private or commercial use without purchasing further rights. In other words, if you create a portrait using the backgrounds, you can sell that portrait or use it any other commercial endeavor as long as you are not selling the backdrop itself either in part or whole.

I heard jpg files are not good for professional use?
