Designer: Backgrounds

Background Sets allow you to offer multiple backdrop choices within your Green Screen workflows. Customers can preview and select their preferred background during ordering, creating a simple upsell opportunity that can increase average order value.

A Background Set is a collection of .jpg background images used behind your PNG poses in Green Screen workflows. Sets are typically grouped by theme, season, sport, or style to help customers easily find the look they want.

Navigate to:

Home → Designer → Backgrounds

Here you’ll see your Background Categories, which are used to group multiple Background Sets together.

📝 Common category types include:

• Seasons

• Sports

• Standard (free)

• Abstract

• Premium

• Location‑specific
  Current page

❗ You must create at least one Background Category before you can create a Background Set.
Click + Add Category to create one.
Current page

1. Open a Background Category.

2. Click Add Background Set.

3. Enter a Name and optional Price. The default name will appear when the Background Set is added to a Price Sheet.
   This name can always be changed later.

4. Add your images by dragging and dropping or clicking + Images.

💡 Tip: Use clear, descriptive names to help customers quickly identify the style (e.g., “Fall Leaves,” “Studio Blue,” “Premium Metallic”).
You can also attach custom names and prices to differentiate premium or location‑specific designs.

Set the default price for the Background Set.
A default of $0 is acceptable, and pricing can always be adjusted on the Price Sheet. If backgrounds should have a cost associated then including a minimum in the design area is good to have a fall back in case it gets forgotten at the price sheet creation stage.

You can add as many .jpg images to a Background Set as needed.

Before uploading backgrounds, ensure:

When a customer selects a background:

1. Captura centers the background to the pose’s image size

2. The pose is flattened onto the background

3. The final image is scaled to the ordered print size

4. The lab receives a flattened, cropped, print‑ready file

Yes — but it’s recommended to create separate Background Sets for each orientation and label them clearly.

Yes. Use categories and pricing to differentiate them.

As many as you need.
