I just ran across this posting. I have a lot of insight in green screen paint so I thought I’d reply.

I’ve been shooting green screen professionally for about 8 years. Here is the paint that I use from Home Depot. It’s a lot less expensive than “chroma key” paint. See this posting for the exact paint mix and a sample image.

Also, I worked as an engineer for 17 years where we measured very thin films (in the nanometer range for thickness) by using the light reflective and refractive properties for the films. From this experience, I know a lot about how light works. I honestly believe the “engineered” green screen paints are largely a gimmick. Any flat latex in the same color will provide the same chroma key results as the more expensive “engineered” paint.

Hi,

I just ran across this forum so I thought that I’d post.

There are obviously many ways to do this in Photoshop. I’ve been doing Chroma Key Photohraphy for about 5 years now.

Because I was frustrated with the plug-ins on the market, I created a script that does a decent job for most images for extraction and spill suppression. It leaves the mask and layers editable. It works with CS3 and higher.

Sometimes the images may need cleaned up slightly but its really quick and gives a good starting point.
