2. Re: Best way to chroma key a greenscreen without a plugin effect
davidbeisner2010 Aug 22, 2011 6:12 AM (in response to MTSTUNER)Thanks!
What I ended up doing was converting the image to CMYK (found that the next step didn't work at all if the image mode was RGB), did Select: Color Range and then instead of using the dropper tool to select my background (it wasn't very evenly lit) I told it to select all greens. That gave me an excellent mask, which only carried over into my subject if they were wearing black. If the subject was wearing black, all I had to do was use the marquee tool to do a rough deselection of the black areas on the subject. Then I hit the delete key four times to get a good clean removal of the green, and was able to drag my background in place and save. I was able to create a good action to do the whole process, which only had to be hand-done on the 5-6 subjects wearing black (out of 78 total!)
Appreciate the suggestions!
