Question

Select and Mask

I have this image and after watching several tutorials on Select and Mask, I am having issues removing the green background. Kelby says to use the lasso tool for a selection and then refine edge but I can't get rid of the green. Any thoughts on what i might be doing wrong? I thought this green background would make it simple.

    Created a rough selection with the Lasso tool.

    Purpose of green screen is to be able to select green with color selection, then delete the green

    It works well but sometimes green color creeps into the hair making it harder to get a clean result.

    Also use defringe and mask that deletes fringe colors at bottom of refine edge tools on right.

    It would be best to show us your entire screen with the layers panel open and any collapsed layers expanded.

    It could be something simple like what you are choosing to do with the selection at the bottom of the select and mask dialog box. But that would be a guess without seeing your screen.

    If you could capture your select and mask dialog box as well. This can be a separate image.

    We will figure it out.
