Primatte Chromakey software tutorials & support.
Primatte Chromakey Software is easy and intuitive to use. However, its tools do NOT work like Photoshop's, even though you are inside of that host application. The hour that you spend NOW learning about Primatte Chromakey software will save you countless hours of billable time LATER. Some Chromakey software tutorials show screen grabs of the previous version of Primatte, version 2.0. Don't be alarmed! The functions and concepts are exactly the same. Version 3.0 simply rearranged where some of the buttons are.

Dealing with problem areas
Level: Advanced
This photograph is unusually complex and requires some Photoshop work. Why? The blue screen behind our model has a problematic 'hot spot' created during the photo session. We solve this problem by creating a 'garbage matte' in Photoshop. Then we mask the subject in two halves; remove color spill; and touch up the mask after it renders.
