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.

What if i want to add a Backround. that i have (More than 1 color)

[photoshopmama]

@legosareus I'd suggest watching some of my more recent videos on Extraction Methods. Once you extract the subject you can place it over any type of background

I Have no Magic Wand!!!

[photoshopmama]

@legosareus I'm sure we all wish we had a Magic Wand in real life, but in Photoshop it is located in the Toolbar. Depending on your version, it may be hidden under the Quick Selection Tool (CS5). Press and hold on the current tool and a popout of hidden tools will appear.

theres no point to do green screen if you have to go around every edge and double check. Just outline with the pen tool and skip having to have a green screen and all that bs. Plus your subject is still left with green color on his face and watch etc.
