Thanks! I am aware of the concept, but don't really have much practical experience. In the case of, say, the white plate in the previous photo, wouldn't it be prone to the reflection of the green color? And would the green color not change the overall tone of the light box? Color correction might be the way - or would that be taken care of my this specialized software?

Depends on several factors, placement of lighting sources, thus the used lighting and object placement & reflections etc. Green & blue screen backgrounds are mainly used for a better isolation of objects from backgrounds, so something else can be projected intead as a background. - You can give it some tryouts, in order to see if it helps in your object shoot cases too or not.

On the topic of the suggested software, didn't know about these, so thank you for the tip. The former is $99 ...

There are often free give away versions of Franzis CutOut, AFAI recall it has been part of some xmas 2023 give aways (like here), which are still downloadable (see also the link to request a free license for CutOut from the Franzis site then on that referenced page above).

Also, ReMask is made for Adobe PhotoShop, would Affinity Photo be able to load it (plugin compatibility?)?

For my older ReMask version & APh v1 yes, that's accessable from inside of APh. But it isn't necessary, as the app also can be run standalone (no Addobe PS or APh needed therefor) and results can be exchanged with APh via transparency keeping file formats like PNG etc.

Sure, I'll definitely give it a go.

Thank you for checking up on this. I didn't realize until now, however, that the program is only for Windows and I am on Mac.

Seems to be for Mac too, so I'll check this one out. 

Thank you for your inputs!

For macOS see as a free to use one:  CutOut 6 – Kostenlose Vollversion (Mac)

And from the Franzis site:  CutOut 8 Mac note also the Demoversion below there.
