Hi

Most of you use white or black turntable colors and edit in photoshop or else.

Why not use chroma key cholor?

Any hint = welcome

If you are using a chroma key for background removal, I found a few ideas you might take into consideration.

IF your object is white... or any variation white, make your back ground and table the opposite color BLACK.

Using a background color opposite color of colors in your object makes it easy to REMOVE or replace that color.

Issues:
background cloth should be smooth flat and with NO folds that will cast shadows.
Look closely at the various colors in your object then select a background/table the opposite color.

I used 3 or more soft lamps: left, right and top to avoid shadows.
All light bulbs should be the same type to avoid White balance issues.
Use an 18% gray card in first test image (like a WhiBal card http://www.whibal.com )
