Green/Blue Screen Question

[GiddyupGilbert]

XaraX9: I have a decent basic idea of shooting Green/Blue Screen stuff. My question is how to handle it in Xara for replacing backgrounds or even partials? Thanks

Sounds like a job for the background eraser. It should be easy to remove the green screen using that tool and then apply different backgrounds.

Thanks xtom

I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but I can't find a background eraser.

Erasing backgrounds

This feature is particularly good for erasing or changing the background behind complex shapes such as fur, hair, trees etc, that would be tedious, or impossible to mask manually. You only need to indicate the approximate areas to erase (with the Eraser tool) and the areas to protect (with the Mask Painter Tool), and then click the 'Erase background' button.

1.	Use the Eraser Tool to roughly paint over the parts of the picture you want to erase (the background).
2.	Select the Mask Painter Tool and paint over some of the parts of the foreground you want to keep.
3.	Select the Eraser Tool again and then click on Erase background on the top infobar
