Carin, My suggestion to you is the same as I keep mine. Steam or iron the backdrop and then, when not in use, roll it up either onto a backdrop system roller or by itself. if by itself, then roll again somewhat like rolling a cinnamon roll and store. This should help, Have fun, Debby 2/11/2008 6:06:50 AM |

Try Downy Wrinkle Releaser while it's hanging ... works on mine. Most of the wrinkles will soften out.

Try using a small fan (or an assistant with a sizeable piece of card board) to create some movement in the muslin and shoot at a slower shutter speed.

I use washable muslin backgrounds. I spray mine with the wrinkle releaser as sugested then clamp and streatch the fabric in about 4-5 places on either side. Also I pose my subjects 6 plus feet from the back and use the lowest f stop. I do most of my shooting on location. So I do have a portable backdrop stand. 2/12/2008 11:47:30 AM |

I usually resort to fixing the issue via photoshop in post-production. ;)

Carin, Many of my muslin backdrops I stretch from side to side with spring clamps to take a lot of that out. The other ideas are good as well. Like any background, including outdoor, keeping your subject as far as possible (most times possible is not much)from it and trying to keep it out of focus also helps. the rest I also have to fix in photoshop. Rolling the backgrounds to put them away also helps but it depends on your storage area. Folding them does NOT work as the fold creases are much more evident than a uniformly wrinkled background. You will probably find that as photographers we are more critical of that than most of our customers are!! Best wishes. 2/12/2008 2:24:28 PM |

Carin, If you are using studio lighting, try lighting the background stronger than the lighting on your subject in the foreground, and meter for the subject. This will wash out most if not all of the wrinkles to pure white. If there are still a few wrinkles left, you can then clean them up with Photoshop fairly easily. 2/13/2008 1:42:25 AM |

It could be costly but I have taken mine to the cleaners before and had them pressed then after I rolled them. If it is very big it is worth the money to not have to press it yourself.
