Background Eraser not leaving trace, not to transperant

[shawne4184364]

So I shot against a green screen for some senior portraits (never do it again) and I am in the process of clipping my subjects.   I am using the background eraser tool which is clipping nicely but it is leaving a smudge (for lack of a better term) around the entire area I erased.  When I paste the clip into my digital background, I can see evidence of the tool.    It worked yesterday just fine on test cuts from my son's shots.    It has to be a simple setting.   I have tried the reset tool and tinkered with tolerance etc.

That's a clever idea, gets round the issue nicely.

That is a good workaround. It reminds me of what we used to have to do back in PS7.0 to use the selection tools such as quick mask and color range on 16 bit images. (Convert a duplicate to 8bit produce the mask and then apply it to the 16 bit image)
