Does anyone have a magical answer on how to get all the green (background) out of my chromakey shots.. Seems like I can never get it all. At least without spending an hour on it..
Please help
For clarification purposes, it's the lil' green halo and some green reflection in some of the hair.. Would more space between subject and backdrop solve the selection problem? Would a hair light rid the top of the head of the greenish 'cap'???
Anyone? Anyone?

What software are you using?
In recent versions of Photoshop, there is the "Extract..." tool that is used for "extracting" an image out of its background. It does an OK job for being included with the program.
Moving on to solutions you pay for, Extensis Mask Pro is pretty popular, as is Corel Knockout.
Moving up to the "expensive" range, there is Primatte Chromakey, and really high-end products like Ultimatte AdvantEdge (which is $1495) that is specifically designed for chromakey applications...

Shutter;
A quick and dirty way that works most of the time for me is to use the selective color on a background copy layer to desaturate everything but green, then the marquee tool to select a large segment of the bg, then select similar. Save the selection, discard the beackground cipy layer, and reload the selection.
This works fine unless there's a lot of green in the subject itself, and there usually isn't.
