    Re: camera with digital backdrop feature

    Well, it's not for eBay but it is for a website. I am taking photos of vehicles for a car dealership and putting them on their website. Rather than have the background of the car lot, I would like a white background.
    But I think that doing each photo seperatly on photoshop would be way too time consuming, which is why I was really hoping that there was a camera with such a feature available.
    Thanks so much to all of you for your help, and if anyone does know of a camera that has that feature, please let me know!

    Ahhhhh, I see. You can't just stick a car in a light tent. There are special selection software tools that you can buy. They attempt to speed up the job of separating the car from the background so you can drop in a white background. I also remembered that Casio has some compact cameras that have an "eBay" mode. But I don't think it drops out the background. Thats's actually a very sophisticated software operation and I think it's gonna require some manual work.

    The quickest way to do what you want to do with vehicles is still going to be with a Chroma Key Background. It is a very quick thing in PS when you use Chroma Key. A well lit, smooth Chroma Key Background can be a single mouse click to get rid of then you put your background layer behind the car and merger your layers.
