 Hello everybody welcome back to another adobe photoshop cc 2021 tutorial this one I'm gonna show you how to green screen like a pro Basically how to extract this lady from the green screen and I'm gonna show you how to do it in an awesome way And like in under like two or three minutes. It's it's it's amazing what adobe's done Let's get right into this first step here drag and drop in some footage like I have done here You'll notice here if you look at this at this image that the background is not perfectly lit It's got a wrinkles in the green screen. I've selected this stock footage on purpose Because I don't want to show you a perfect green screen. I want to show you how to do it in real-world conditions Okay, the next step if you're following along take this layer and drag and drop it over this plus sign So you're creating a second layer. You can also do command or control J. That also works, too Alright, I'm going to turn the bottom layer off and I'm going to work on the top layer So I'm working non-destructively Okay, the next step I'm going to show you two ways how to do this and they're both super fast and they're both super effective The first one is the traditional way which you now go up to the top select and you want to select color range here left click on that and I'm going to go down. I'm going to show you what basically what you would I'd be seeing here is What you're going to want to do here is you're going to want to select sampled colors Just like this and then when you hover over the green part or over the image in at any part Really, you're going to see an eyedropper what you want to do is you want to left-click on Part of the green part. Okay, so I've left-clicked on it. I'm now going to increase the fuzziness Let's increase it up to about a hundred just for just for demonstration purposes And if you look really closely here, it's not bad You want white you want white and black high contrast anything. That's not pure white is not necessarily good So we're going to be getting in some some of the dark stuff So what you want to do is you want to go back to the image like this Hold down the shift key and you're going to see that the eyedropper has become a plus now I'm going to go ahead and left-click on one of the darker parts of the green screen where it's not as well lit or it's wrinkled and you're going to see here that it kind of got rid of most of the Grayish darkish part in the white here basically like I said we want this to be black and we want this to be white So I'm going to just keep hold down shift I'm going to select another component that I think isn't very well lit and I've selected about four or five pieces here now You can always increase and decrease the fuzziness You don't want to go too high though because you want her silhouette or her part to be pure black You don't want to see like this scary movie looking thing So you'll see here that you'll see some white there a little bit on the black that is not what you want So as we dial it back, okay, I'm going to dial it back to a boat Yeah, you know what this looks pretty good. I think we've got black and white pure gonna now hit okay Bang, it's made the selection now for me to show you how well we've done here I'm going to go ahead and put in a background. So I've got a background ready So I'm just going to click on my finder and I'm going to drag and drop this blue background Into this picture just so I can show you basically what we've done here. So I'm going to just click okay It's not the right size now I'm going to redo that just so you guys can see it correctly And this is not part of anything that you'd probably have to do but I'm going to show you anyway I'm going to drag and drop that below layer one. So or below layer zero pardon me I haven't layers your copy. I haven't renamed them and let's do that one more time at this time I'll show you how well we've done here. So we go up to select color range We're going to leave it exactly like we had it hit okay And now what I like to do is I just hit edit cut and Bang, you'll see that we have very close to a perfect Green screen you if you go in really really really tight and I'm talking way down You might see a little bit of greenish tint on the edges and there are ways to fix that But for 99 out of a hundred times from this from this distance It looks pretty close to perfect, but I'm going to delete this and I'm going to show you the second way of doing this I'm going to delete these two layers. I'm just going to delete this top layer pardon me I'm going to leave this layer underneath. So this is where we're starting. So we've got our layer zero now I'm going to create a background layer Pardon me a duplicate layer like I said I would and now we're not going to work on the bottom layer We're going back to the top layer head back up to select this time instead of selecting color range we're going to select subject and this time it's going to do some calculations and it's going to draw around the edges of the subject and It's done a very good job photo shop has come a long way Now I'm going to go up here to select and I'm actually going to go ahead and show you first off what we've done If we do select and let's see what we're working with we're working with the girl Okay, so we want to go to select now. We want to go to inverse part of me So what's happened is is instead of selecting the lady we've now by clicking on inverse We've selected outside of the lady so everything outside of the selection outside of her is selected now if I go edit cut I Will cut away all that stuff and there she is again and I've left that background in so you can see it and boom We've got another really good Green screen extraction so to speak
