Lizzie and Fee edits using Colour range
After further research into Photoshop and greenscreening I have discovered an efficient and effective way of removing all the green from the image without affecting the image I want to keep within the composition.
This is done using a tool in the Select toolbar called ‘Colour Range’ this tool allows me to select a colour I want to remove of and allows me to select the greenscreen while leaving the models in the working layer of Photoshop.
In my images there is obviously more than one tone of green but with this tool you are able to hold down the shift key to select each tone of the colours I wanted to remove meaning I could remove the darker green shades in the shadow’s as well as the bright greens using one simple tool.
As you can see from the images, this tool can take a few refinements to accomplish the desired effect. While selecting the colours I was left with a silhouette of the image, called a matte, which allows me to easily see which sections of the image will be kept and removed. In the first attempt I didn’t remove the green shadow underneath the model after a second attempt I was aware of that problem and selected that area and removed it.
