Green Screen Removal in Photoshop

Check out our updated version taking you all the way from shoot to edit: • How To Use a Green Screen
In this tutorial, I show you how to remove a green screen in Photoshop using in two scenarios.
1. Where the green screen has been lit perfectly.
2. Where the green screen hasn’t been lit so well - the more realistic way!
We will be looking at how to use different selection methods in Photoshop such as:
• Using the magic wand tool
• Selecting a colour range
• Adding and removing parts of a selection
• expanding and feathering a selection
It can be difficult to remove a green screen in photoshop, especially when the green screen wasn’t lit properly, but there are ways around and hopefully this tutorial will help you out.
I’d really like to see your attempts at this with your backgrounds added. If you want to show us, tag us on Facebook or Instagram @theschoolofphotography1. Make sure the post is public on FB so we can see it. We always try to feedback wherever possible.

[@saraholson5828]

Can you make a video on how you would add the photo after you cut out the green screen or tell me if you already have? Thanks!

[@theschoolofphotography]

Hi Sarah, great idea, I'll put it on my schedule of tutorials to make. All you would do though is drag the cut-out person into any image you want and resize it using the free transform tool. Hope that helps - Marc

[@stephengreen743]

you could use colour range and select all the green areas in one hit.

[@theschoolofphotography]

Hi Stephen, that way is also shown in the video. Thanks
