IMPORTANT INFO HERE!
We do a lot of artists the request the chroma key background, I think because they import into video software that has chroma key features. With that being said, if you are just doing photo work, you will avoid many extra steps if you shoot subject on a Light Gray Seamless Background. Keeping it neutral will eliminate the color cast spillover into the subject area.


Green Screen Series #9
Using Image Calculations to create a mask. You can never know too many ways to create a good selection/mask! Here's another! I know it's LONG and I could have cut much of it out--but for Beginners I think it's helpful to be able to watch the process. I apologize in advance to the more advanced users who will more than likely get very bored with this.

i have to admit that the overlay mode for the brush to select, is a very smart trick

Yes I live in Nashville. How are you doing? Did you and your friends and family survive our terrible flood? Hope all is well with you!

Right under the video to the right is a button with 2 arrows, looks like a sergeant's patch. Click that and you'll see more text info about the video and links to the other videos in this series. YouTube has changed it's interface after this was uploaded so the interface panels access have been changed.

Hi June, Sorry about that. The image page link was posted in the earlier numbers in the series. I'll repost it in the More info area here and send you a personal message with the link since you can't post links in this comments section.

Press the function F5 key. It's working, click on the name of the link not the picture and it downloads a zip file to your desktop or temp files.Try again!

[photoshopmama]

Try it now, refresh browser and oops you were right, Mama forgot to upload it! Thanks!

[photoshopmama]

Click on them? They're in the side panel on the right (just expand it)

[photoshopmama]

The consecutive links are listed in the More Info panel on the right, but I'll see if I can change the titles to include a number.
