Chroma Key Help needed

I cut this picture out and placed it on a green background. How do I get rid of the green jaggies?

Are you sure that isn't just green moss growing on the leaf ??? :D

I have not played much with chomakey, but at DJ they just had one
of their little mini-shows talking about it -- see if that has any info that
is of help (I would suspect a threshold issue). See if these help:

Another option is to forget about the chromakey altogether. Remove the background from your picture and save it as a png , tif, or tga file. With the tif and tga you'll have to specify a transparent background. The png file will do it automatically and is my format of choice wherever possible.

Thank you for the feedback. I will check out the sites. I did play with the threshold and it really didn't seem to matter. I have also saved the file as a png. I was looking for a different way to do things. Oh well best to leave well enough alone sometimes.

Nah, always fun to find new ways to do things -- you often end
up finding something else that is even cooler ! :D

Yep, like green jaggies pattern round a cutout.

There MUST be an artistic use for that :lol:
