Eyelikedurt: It's a simple process really. You shoot your subject against an evenly lit background. The common colors are CK-Blue and CK-Green. Mainly because these shades never appear in skin and hair so it's easier to isolate. The trick is to make sure the subjects don't wear anything with the colors of your background in it. Red and yellow shades aren't used because these colors can be found in trace amounts in both hair and skin tones. Not so easy to isolate later.

The trick is to get the background as smooth as anything, lighting it up with a very soft even constant light, and use the right software for the job. Once you get the lighting right it really is a simple process and does work very well.
