Im using Primatte to get rid of the green screen behind my model. How do I add in a different background behind her?
• This is a common question from folks who are new to Adobe Photoshop, and a very easy process to do. This is really a Photoshop question because the process is done inside Photoshop, not in Primatte. Here is a quick explanation of the steps. You will create a second layer using Photoshop’s Layers palette and the Copy/Paste command. • In Photoshop’s Layers palette, create a new layer called ‘Layer 1’. If you are using Backdrop Designer, apply that filter to the new layer. –OR– • If you are using a different image, open that Photoshop file. Select and copy its contents. Then paste into the Primatte Chromakey file to create a new layer. • In the Layers palette, drag that new layer so it is placed behind (or, below) the Primatte-treated layer. • The new background that you’ve created sits behind and shows through the Primatte-treated image. For a more detailed explanation of this process, please read our Merge Layers tutorial. This PDF doc comes with two photos you can experiment with..
