Previously I always struggled to erase a background from the subject. This green screen extraction was the easiest method I have ever tried. No more having to meticulously battle with different masking settings the green screen extraction makes it much easier.

This is the easiest and fastest way of extracting a green screen that I own. Once you get used to how the action works and the settings & workflow within, you will NEVER use another plugin for extracting which saves you time streamlines the workflow!

I have a number of other green screen extraction tools (PhotoKey 8 Pro, Vertus Fluid Mask, Anthropics Portait Pro). This one is not the most expensive but it beats all the other ones in simplicity and in performance.

I take adoption portraits for a local shelter. We deal with a volume of unpredictable subjects, poor lighting and a need for a quick turnaround of finished images. I find myself doing upwards of 30 extractions in a single session. This action has helped out immensely in reducing the processing time to get a good quality image. I highly recommned.

This Green Screen Extraction Action for Photoshop (+Blue Screen Bonus and Tutorial) is awesome! In the past it would take me the better part of a week to extract my players from the green screen to place in the composite. I purchased this action and I was able to extract 12 players and refine the composites, ready to send to the print lab, all in under two hours! I just wish I had bought it sooner.

Question
dungstar –
Does this work with Photoshop CC 2018? When I run the “Green Extract cc” I get “The command ‘Convert Mode’ is not currently available”.

This product has saved me a lot of time and effort. I am a yearbook sponsor who does my sports photos as our fundraiser. We do fall and winter sales which actually make good money for the program. I have to thank Ben for this action. I have used it on CS6 and CC 17/18 which all work great. I do my sports photos similar to my senior banners and this makes volume editing much easier.
