Filming with a good camera is also going to help, but there’s no reason you can’t record your green screen video on an iPhone, really (in fact, there’s an app for that, but don’t expect decent results). Once you have photographed your talent in front of a green screen, use Chroma Photo Pro to choose a background and just click on the background once. View all Mac apps. Popular Windows Apps.
No this is not a feature of iPhoto. You'll need an external editor. In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Green screens are often used in the movies to place actors in all kinds of fantastic scenes. The actors are filmed in front of a green screen and then software removes anything green and replaces it with a new background. Green Screen Studio from Moon uses this same basic technique to transform your mobile photos.
Green Screen Software For Mac
Green Screen Studio offers a few different ways to remove and replace the background of your photos. There’s an automatic option that will attempt to remove the background with just one tap. I say “attempt,” because even when I used a photo taken using a green screen background, there seemed to always be a green outline around the subject left behind. Using the automatic option with regular non-green screen photos just produces a mess.
A Magic Brush works somewhat like the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop. Wherever you drag your finger on the photo, this tool will select and erase those colors. Unfortunately, unless you have a very high contrast photo like a bright white subject on a black background, this tool just doesn’t offer much help and ends up deleting parts of your subject. You can also use Polygon and Trace tools to create shapes to delete parts of the image.
To me, only two tools in Green Screen Studio stood out as useful—the Paint and Eraser tools. The Paint tool simply erases any part of the image that you paint over. The Eraser tool acts as the only undo option in Green Screen Studio. Wherever you brush on the photo, it restores that part back to its original state. Not having an undo button is just really frustrating. If you make a mistake you have to use the Eraser tool to manually undo instead of just tapping an undo button.
Once you’ve managed to delete your image’s background, you can either select a new one from the camera roll on your iPhone or iPod touch or use one of the supplied ones. Green Screen Studio comes with ten backgrounds for you to use, including beach scenes or famous landmarks. After you’ve selected your background, the new image can be saved to your camera roll.
On Mac OS X rather than putting it in your steam directory you need to find the.app file and click show contents. From there it’s Content MacOS Skins. You may also need to restart steam. On Mac OS X, however, simply mimicking the process by copying the skin folder into Steam.app’s package contents doesn’t get it done. Before starting, ensure that you can navigate to. Mac skin for steam app. Skins for Steam on Mac OS X How to apply third party skins on Steam client on Mac? Placing a skin into app package in 'Skins' folder causes freezes and crashes the client. Mac OS X users may also be interested in how to use a Steam skin since it’s a bit more involved than simply dropping a folder into the skins directory like on the Windows version. Were you searching for a suitable replacement skin for Steam on Mac OS X (or an equally nice skin for Windows)?
Most of Green Screen Studio’s features just didn’t work very well and the lack of a real undo option was beyond frustrating. There’s also no way to move, rotate, or re-size your cut-out subject. Everything about this app just felt half-finished; there are simply better image editors out there.
