Troubleshooting
Backdrop still has minor wrinkles after hanging.
Ensure the backdrop is stretched as tautly as possible using your mounting system. For stubborn wrinkles, a very light steaming from a distance (do not let the steamer touch the fabric) may help, or wash and tumble dry on low heat as per care instructions.
Green screen keying is difficult.
Ensure even lighting on the backdrop, avoiding shadows. Check that the green color is consistent across the entire surface. Use the correct color range settings in your editing software.
Reflections are still visible.
Adjust your lighting to minimize direct light hitting the backdrop. Use diffusion and bounce techniques rather than harsh, direct sources. Ensure the backdrop is pulled taut to prevent uneven surfaces that catch light.
Grommets or pole pocket seem damaged.
Inspect the mounting points carefully. If damaged, consider reinforcing with strong tape or using alternative hanging methods that do not stress the damaged area.
