[manfredr86219484]

I made some greenscreen pictures and i can delete the green in the pictures via the magical reasure. But when i put a picture of my own as background, it didnt work. I can put it as layer in it. Please help.

Thanks and Regards

I don't understand the problem completely.

Try this:

1. Open the "greenscreen"picture file.
2. Duplicate the background layer, and shut of the visibility of the Background layer by clicking on its eye icon in the layers palette.
3. Work on the Background copy layer and delete the background on the picture with the magic wand tool, with which you are familiar. That should leave you with a checkerboard pattern in the area of the deleted background.
4. Now, place your replacement background on a layer between the Background and Background copy layers.
