I come from the video field, I started taking professionals photographs recently and took some pictures against a green background for a video that I was doing.

What is the BEST way to do a chroma key on photoshop? I dont find any ‘chroma key’ function as in Adobe Premiere for example, but I know there must be a way. I tried ‘selecting’ and area but I dont think that’s the best way to do it

Please have in mind I am not an ‘expert’ on photoshop, I know my way around it and can follow instructions very well.

I am using the CS2 version. Thank you.

Probably the all around best way is blend-if sliders in Lab mode. Convert to Lab, double click on the layer and experiment with the range of a and b values to eliminate the background, if necessary add a garbage matte layer mask, and you’re there.
