[PRODIG] Green screen spill

[Richard Lewisohn]

A regular client got a 'specialist' photographer to shoot some 
portraits against a green screen.  The 'specialist' results are that 
green has contaminated both hair and face  (I suspect I would have 
tried to put in some flags to try and avoid the backlight hitting the 
subject, but I'm not a specialist).

I've been asked to drop in the correct background - and foolishly said 
yes!   Getting an edge using Knockout 2 was almost impossible, more 
problematic is getting rid of the green cast.  I've been looking at 
'selective colour' and 'replace colour' without much luck.

 I've put a small sample here:

The 'specialist' shot jpg, not RAW, unfortunately.  It doesn't help 
that the shots are a bit soft.  Any thoughts as tp a more successful 
technique gratefully received.

Thanks.
