Charity calendar / photokey 4 pro

Over the last 4 weeks I've been shooting 12 shots for a charity calendar.
The charity calendar is in aid of the ASDA charity tickled pink.
Whilst shooting this calendar we have been experimenting with the use of greenscreen rather than multiple backgrounds.

The program we have been using is Fxhome Photokey 4 pro. All I can say about photokey 4 is , why did we never get this program sooner. Images are extracted instantly and with little tweeking perfectly.
No more hours in photoshop , now its all done in a few minutes with no green spill on the model.

Ok so it cost £185 for the pro version, but with 3 licences and batch processing this version was worth it for the business.

This image took less than 10 minutes with aperture to do the retouching , then less than 2 minutes with photokey 4 to extract and drop onto a pre prepared background.

The image was lit using a new set of bowens 500c lights and fired with the new bowens pulsar cards. The camera was the usual Nikon D700 and sigma 24-70 f2.8 at f8.
Just a thought but wihle all the gear heads aout there are waiting for the nikon d800 or whatever its going to be called, I'm happy with my D700.
Even compared to the canon 5d mark 2 , I've gota say my 12 megapix D700 is producing images that give the canon a run for its money with better ergonomics.
