Try Select > Color Range…

Hi Tripletsmom.
Just about the best tool for the job is the Extract Filter. Even so, you are still likely to have some fringing from the green screen. For this very reason we gave up using green (or blue) chromakey backgrounds at our studio and moved on to grey instead.
You can, however, remove the traces of green like this:
Let’s assume you have extracted your subject using your chosen method and are left with an image surrounded by transparency.
Go to the Layers palette and click "Lock Transparency" Now pick up the clone tool set to a soft tip at 100% opacity, 100% flow and with the mode set to Colour. Sample the colour from "just in" from the edge of the subject and paint around the edge, replacing the green tinged areas with the natural colour.
We used to have to do this labour intensive operation on almost every chromakey shot before ditching the green background for grey.
Hope this helps.
Chris.

Hello 3babiesmom, (where’ve I seen something similar 🙂
There is always more than one way of doing anything in PS, look at the Filters>Extract option, (Google for "Photoshop tutorials + extract) or, if the green background is of a uniform nature, try the "magic wand" with different tolerences (higher = pixels of a similar colour)
