    Hi,

    Just wondering what is the best background to shoot products on? Is it a blue mat? Is there any specific product on the market that will give good contrast to make it easily photoshopable?

    Thanks.

    I've worked with a white backdrop and a white light box and they were pretty handy. The only time I needed to use anything different was when the product itself was white or very shiny and we used an off-white/blue to get the edges visable to more easily photoshop.

    Famously green is used for photo and video manipulation on a larger, perhaps more technical scale, but I've yet to find out the specifics on why.

    That's for auto keying, 'Chroma key', to remove or replace the backgrounds. Green I think is used as it is easily separated from skin tones.
