Photoshop Green Screen Removal Tutorial

In this Photoshop green screen removal tutorial, I’ll show you how to remove a green screen in Photoshop using two real-world scenarios:

  1. When the green screen has been lit perfectly

  2. When the green screen hasn’t been lit well — the more realistic (and challenging) situation

You’ll learn several Photoshop green screen removal techniques, including how to:

  • Use the Select and Mask feature

  • Remove a green screen using Colour Range selections

  • Add multiple shades and tones of green to improve selections

  • Expand and feather selections for cleaner, more natural edges

Removing a green screen in Photoshop can be tricky — especially when the background lighting isn’t ideal. However, with the right tools and techniques, it’s absolutely possible to achieve professional results. This tutorial will walk you through the process step by step and help you confidently tackle even poorly lit green screens.
