Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting & best practices for background removal and scene selection

Proper lighting is essential for achieving the best results with Booth.Events’ SceneSelect feature. The AI relies on clear separation between the subject and the background, and good lighting ensures accurate detection and clean results.

Lighting Tips for Optimal Results

• Use strong, even lighting on your subject.
• Ensure there is some contrast between light and shadow to help define edges and facial features for the AI.

Recommended Lighting Setup

• Position at least one light source at a 45° angle to the camera. This creates subtle shadows that outline the body and face.
• Light the subject from the front or side. Avoid harsh backlighting or dim environments.

Common Issues to Avoid

• Scenes that are too dark or evenly flat can make it difficult for SceneSelect to distinguish the subject from the background.

Quick Summary

Do:

• Use angled lighting (around 45°)
• Ensure high subject illumination
• Include visible shadows and definition

Avoid:

• Backlighting or dim scenes
• Flat lighting with no contrast
• Completely dark or overexposed shots

Good lighting leads to better AI background removal and an improved experience for your guests.
