Since we're all using digital cameras, is anyone using digital backgrounds also? If so, do you have any problems getting rid of the green/blue background in Photoshop? What about around the hair, especially if it is curly hair that you can see the background through? Do you ever get any green casts on the hair itself?

I recently took some shots outside of a couple on a riverboat. I wanted to remove the background and replace it with a digital background. The green (trees, grass, etc.) shoreline was at least 200 yards behind them. When I zoom in on them in PS, they have a green cast on their hair. I used Hue/Saturation to remove it, but is there some way to avoid this right from the start? I used a 550ex for fill.

Also, would anyone have a sample that you could post that we could play with? One with hair that you can see the chroma key showing through would be preferable.
