GREEN SCREEN SERIES--Video #3
This tutorial goes into depth about tolerance and refining the mask edges using various filters and adjustments in Photoshop.

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.

Hey Mama one more thing I'l like to add here, as you create a slip layer (create new fill or adjustment layer) for solid colour, you see it is getting on top of your working layer, though you want it below the working layer, so for that before clicking on the create new fill or adjustment layer press and hold control key on windows or command on mac and it will automaticly go below the working layer, you wont have to drag it :)

Thanks :)

[tekken3vish]

Hey Mama its great, you are no doubt good, I am a novice and means no offense as I can see in your previous video, you said sometimes you deselect shortcut is not working, but its just that as you set your tolerance to 32 or 64 you didn't hit enter so you are on that box allowing you to input value to tolerance so you aren't able to use shortcut, so if you hit enter and try shortcut it will definetly work :) don't mind :)
