How do I fix this

At times I use a green screen to do potrait shots. Lately, they have been coming out with a green tint on one side. What am I doing to cause this?



I also took this with the lights and everything set up the same.

This is what I have been telling people on the forum all along. DO NOT use a green screen for still photography - use a neutral gray. FAR superior.

Green has this great propensity to contaminate you subject - as we see here.

In #1 it looks like your subject was way too close to the background as there is a definite shadow.

Thank you! I will try a gray soon.

It's correctable but you have to post it as a download for anyone to help you with this particular photo. You've received some great advise for future shoots.

I will post it again and put the original on. I always forget to do that. Thanks for reminding me.

Hmm. I'm not very good at this but I thought I'd give it a go. I used lightroom and experimented for a few.

Looks like I blew it out a little bit.

1st attempt.

It looks as if you got rid of the green though. Thanks for the help.

I used the different colors of greens and yellows and tried to adjust out the green and tone the skin a bit. But I made the mistake of going crazy on the tone curves. I also cloned/healing-brushed/spot removed some of the shadows on backdrop.

I used this tool/adjustment in lightroom
