IMPORTANT INFO HERE!
We do a lot of artists the request that 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.

[photoshopmama]

@sunil144115feb Drag with the move tool or Select All, Edit Copy your extracted layer into the new background document and then Edit Paste it (if you used that method) then Edit Transform the extracted subject layer to desired size.Make sure the extracted subject layer is above the small object layer.
