Between Ben’s excellent tool and the in depth tutorial you cannot go wrong with these actions. You can tell the action / tool has been crafted after hours of trial and error and it is great to be able to access that type of knowledge and skill for such a reasonable fee. This is a great investment.

Absolutely amazing green screen action! Talk about saving time and directing that saved time to other company projects. If you’re intimidated doing extractions, especially wispy hair, you need this action! Scared of the infamous green spill over on your subject? Not anymore! Ben is a creative genius and this action just adds to that. Get. This. Action.!

Was a bit worried because there are several greenscreen actions on the market. But this one delivers !!! Even the droplet function works awesome. I just tested 100 photo’s with chromakey and 99% were perfect. Best investment yet !

I shot my first green screen league this weekend, and then tried your actions for the first time. I absolutely love the droplet for the volume that I am processing. Very cool.

I was so reluctant to embrace green-screening, until I bought this tool.
So easy, so effective!

I’m terrible at extraction – I can’t believe I waited until Black Friday to purchase, it’s worth 10x as much as I paid and I should have done so much earlier! You wont be disappointed!

I purchased the Green Screen extraction action from Shirk Photography a week or so ago and all I can say is that after years of using a variety of tools in PS and Topaz I have found the most efficient and super fast green screen removal tool. Ben Shirk’s tool is absolutely worth the money you pay for it. The action pays for it’s self the first time you use it and you realize you just extracted 30 athletes individually in less than 5 minutes. I would buy Ben’s action again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!!

I can’t believe I waited so long to get this. Regardless how many years you’ve been removing backgrounds in PS, this makes things way easier. Time is money and this was well worth every penny.
