Need Green screen(chromakey) plug-in

Hi everyone I am sick of taking portraits and then having to cut out the person from the background because the background is no good. It's a pain especially when it comes to hair.

Are there any photoshop 6 plug-in's out there for greenscreen/bluescreen? I'd prefer if the plug-in was free or at least inexpensive. I have seen this type of plug-in before for earlier version of photoshop but I remember it being upwards of $200 or so. A price I don't want to pay.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

just use color-range-selecting... Costs 0$ :D

What is color range selecting? Does it work like chromakey? How do I do it?

Thanks

select->ColorRange ...then choose a color, choose a good smoothing, and you´re done. :D

I'm going to assume you take portraits of people against a backdrop (blue or green screen) that is suitable for this type of operation?

If you don't, then you'll just have to learn to extract subjects from backgrounds like everybody else...

That will work great. Thanks.

Yes I do take portraits of people against green screens. I just never knew photoshop had that option.

My suggestion is to really take the time to learn all of Photoshops tools well.

With a properly greenscreened portrait you could conceivably make a flawless extraction in about 10 minutes. 3rd-party Plugins generally wouldn't decrease the time or effort too much.
