Problem with Background Wrinkles

12 years 2 months ago #190090 by PSmitch0012
I've been gearing up to do some portrait shoots in a home studios. My problem is that the backrounds are something like 10 feet x 12 feet and aren't exactly iron friendly. I've tried using a clothes steamer and have had no luck getting the wrinkles out.

Has anyone out there had this or a similar problem and if so what did you do to solve it? Is there some kind of professional that will press a huge canvas sheet like this?

i think you just need a lot more light since your background is wrinkled. like with a lot more light, to smooth out the wrinkles in the plain white background.

plus some editing in photoshop should help.
If you really cant stand the wrinkles, you could try hanging the sheet in the bathroom where it can get smoothed out by the steam if someone takes a shower

I'm sure your local dry cleaner will get it wrinkle free for ya. The key to preventing it is proper storage.. roll it up nice and tight and it wont wrinkle.

Thanks for the help. Maybe I'll take it to the dry cleaner and afterwards be very very careful with it.

Dry cleaners once every three months then roll it up carefully, then use plenty of clips to hang it on your background stand, flood with light, hey presto lovely background wrinkle free. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
