Photoshop Elements 12 Green Screen Removal Help

I have an image with a 'green screen' background. I am having troubles removing the green screen background. I have tried the magnetic lasso and other outlining methods that have not given me the desired result. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me? Is there a plug-in that I can install? Should I get a different version of Elements that has the 'magic extractor'? Any/all thoughts are welcome. Thank you.

This is one way:

You won't be able to use color range, but the quick selection tool or magic wand should do
If your able, you might post an example image.

  • Newly installed Photoshop Elements 3 not launching - help!

    Hi there,
    just installed Photoshop Elements 3 on the new G5 iMac - both bought a couple of weeks ago from Apple store on-line.
    Installation of PE3 seemed to go ok.
    But double-clicking the application makes it blink a couple of times in the dock, and then nothing. Tried removing and re-installing a few times..but the application never launches. Any thoughts as to what I can do to fix this?
    Is this an issue with Tiger or with PE3? Or incompabability between the two?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    iMac G5 20" 2.1Ghz 1.5Gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hi there,
    I recently transferred my old files + apps across using migration assistant from the old iMac (which had been running OS X 2.8 Jaguar). When I first tried to install PE3, immediately after insertion of the disc, a Norton anti-virus disc checking screen came up and tried to check the disc. I cancelled the scan, and carried on the installation. When PE3 wouldn't launch, I figured it might be something to do with the anti-virus software. The Norton stuff was installed on my old machine - but I didn't want to use it for the new mac as I heard bad things about it. I couldn't figure out how to remove all the Norton software, until I came across some good advice in another area of the discussions. I have now successfully removed all Norton files from the iMac. However, despite trashing the PE3 app that wouldn't launch, and then installing it again, I still can't get PE3 to actually launch. Neither from the dock, nor from the applications folder. It just moves up and down once in the dock, and then does nothing. Deleting from the dock, and then launching from applications, the same thing happens, the PE3 symbol appears in the dock, moves up and down once, but then disappears.
    Very frustrating. I know the application works well with Tiger, as I've seen it in the Apple store in London... so there must be something I'm doing wrong...
    any more thoughts?

  • IPhoto to Photoshop Elements 4.0 (Bridge help)

    I upload all of my photos to IPhoto and organize them into albums. Sometimes I edit them in Photoshop Elements (2.0), and have had absolutely no problem in doing so. I just upgraded to Elements 4.0, which causes me to have to use Bridge to browse for my photos. The problem I am having is that not all of my pictures are viewable in Bridge. When I switch back over to ELements 2.0 I can see them all. But in Bridge it is a random sampling as far as which photos I can see and which ones I can't. If I pull the photos into Elements, I can view and alter them, so they are not corrupt files. I have tried emptying the cache, and reinstalling bridge . . . no luck. HELP!!!
    Also in Elements 4.0 my pictures look bad . . . they print out OK, but on screen they look pixelated (my word, hope you know what I mean.)
    I need to decide if Elements 4.0 is for me . . . so far, I'm not happy! I'd really appreciate some help!

    Have to or want to? You don't have to use Bridge. You can still use iPhoto like you used to and set PSE4 at your editor or choice in iPhoto's preferences. I've tried Bridge and it's not an image management application, only a browser. iPhoto is an management tool in that it can group photos via albums, keywords, etc.

  • Photoshop Elements 5 Re-Install Help

    Hi There,
    I have tried to re-install Photoshop Elements 5 which I have owned since Jan 2007 onto my new laptop, both from the old hard drive and from an independant download.
    When I active the product and agree to the license details there are numerous error messages appearing and the product then closes down.
    I have tried removing and re-installing a number of times but keep getting the same errors.
    When I click my desktop shortcut for PE5 I get the following error messages.
    1.Could not load the Fastcore Routines module because the file could not be found.
    2.Could not load the MMXCore Routines module because the file could not be found.
    3.Could not load the Multiprocessor Support module because the file could not be found.
    4.Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the file could not be found.
    Clearly there are errors with both trying to install from my old hard drive and from the independant download.
    I have a registered Serial# with Adobe for this product but I can't find the installation CD.
    Any help will be grately appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Ted

    OK, you simply can't copy a Windows program from one HDD to another, it won't work.

    As to an "independent download", depending on where you found this, it might be all virused up.
    BTW, "independent download", is that a euphimism for "torrent".
    Your original disc contained the serial number to your copy of PSE-5. Why would you think a different copy of PSE-5 would work with your installation, or a different copy of PSE-5 wouldn't require it's own serial number, and not yours?
    I see this all the time at computer forums, "I lost my Windows disc". Nobody seems to have that doggone Windows disc. Anytime I get a program, I rip it to an ISO file, then burn the backup copy I am legally entitled to make, and then don't let dogs or children play with either one of them.

  • Very frustrating problem with Photoshop Elements 10 - can anyone help?

    I don't know what's happened, and I haven't changed any of the settings or anything.
    When I open a photoshop file I am currently working on, now, no matter what I do, nothing changes in the actual photo. Even when I delete layers to see if it reverts back to the original photo, nothing changes. When I try adding new layers, nothing happens, when I try adjusting something such as opacity, or brightness/saturation, nothing changes.
    I've tried opening/creating other photoshop files and I have the same problem, so it seems a problem with the actual software, rather than individual files. Even after uninstalling then installing the software, the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Or could you direct me to a good help forum/source?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    I would go to the Photoshop Elements Forum, and look for Loraclf's post there, or post with your problem, your equipment info, and the problem. Someone there will be able to help you.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop Elements 6 problem - please help

    hi.  can i download an older version of photoshop elements on my computer without a disk.  i have photoshop elements 6.  my computer had to be totally cleaned and i lost my photoshop and i want to be able to load it again.  i have the original package that has case with serial numbers but the disk is all scratched up and is unreadable.  i really don't want to buy program again if i don't have to.  any help is great.

    Unfortunately even if there were a download it wouldn't help you, since back then disc versions and downloads had mutually incompatible serial numbers. You would need to find another disc to copy to something like a thumb drive on a computer with an optical drive, then copy the files to your desktop to run the installation.

Please help me find my serial number. Thank you.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 installation disk help needed

    I bought Elements 10 from the Apple store awhile ago, but have just got around to installing it for the first time.  CD 1 won't autoplay and I'm not sure what to do from here.  Somewhere it was suggested to try downloading the trial version and entering the serial #, when prompted to purchase, but I can;t get the trial version to work.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    In what way is the trial version not working for you?  Also if you have only purchased Photoshop Elements 10 then Disc three should be labeled stating it is for Mac OS.  You can find more details at Install Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/install-premiere-elements-photoshop-elements. html.

  • Hello - I am new to using Photoshop Elements 11, Can you help me?

    Hello
    I have got 2 questions for using Photoshop Elements 11 -
    1. How can i delete loads of duplicate images that i have imported?
    2. What is the difference between albums and folders - I have set them up and basically they are all just the same photos i have grouped together - seems pointless having them twice!
    Thanks!

  • I can't open Photoshop Elements 8 (Editor) Please Help

    Hello,
    I am new here and I am hoping I can get someone to help me out.
    I've recently Downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 (trial) for my Brand New Computer (I use Windows 7)
    in hopes of purchasing it after learning the program a little bit, well I'm glad I haven't purchased it yet since I've run into a problem
    I cannot get Photoshop Elements Editor to open, I can however use the organizer.
    I have already tried the following things in hopes of fixing this problem
    Uninstal-Reinstal
    Services, Flexnet and made sure it was on
    Pushed Control Alt and Shift and clicked on the editor button
    all with no luck.
    I'm really hoping someone has had this problem before and can help me out, I was really looking forward to using this program since I also own Photoshop Elements 6 and the same thing happend (I found out it is not compatible and have since uninstalled it)
    Thank you so much for your help

  • Photoshop elements 9 screen flickers

    Hello,
    I have photoshop elements 9 on a desktop computer. Lately when working with photos, the window in editor shifts and jumps around. I have an intel i3 and 6gb ram I have a graphics cards (Nividia gt240). The photos that I work with have an average file size of 6.5mb. Is this being caused by ram or is the video card acting up? Does anyone else have similar problems and if so have they found a way around it?
