A lot of factors affect the realisim of adding a "fake" background, the biggest give away is the "wrong" lighting, if the light source is different it's supprising how quick people will spot it. Adding a shadow will work sometimes to adding realisim, also softening the edges of your subject tend to make them look less stuck on so to speak. Wayne

I don't know of any offhand, but you can cheat by reversing the background or sbject sometimes if the lights from different sides. Wayne

o typically my problem is the different color that the lighting creates.
