Hi everyone, I am very new to this software and trying to learn. I am useing Photoshop 26.0.0 on a MacBook Pro and having trouble trying to remove a green screen background, then transfer it to another tab with a background scene. It appears everytime I transfer it the "box" around the original image comes with it and shows. I attempted multiple videos to eleminate this from happening, but can't see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for any information or advice you may have.

Hi there, it would be helpful if you could share the steps you're performing along with a screenshot of the layers panel so that we can look at what's happening.

Thanks,
Nikunj

Hi there, thank you so much for replying. I took your advice and started to go through the steps of what I think is how you do it so I could document it and take screenshots. Anyway, I don't see the outline of the greenscreen image this time. But since I did it, maybe you can advise me if I'm doing it correctly.

Thanks, Kevin

After you create the mask, select that mask channel and check the the black areas are completely black. After using colour range there is a chance that certain shades are partially selected and if the mask is anything above black then it will allow some of the original layer to show.
