I am interested in experimenting with Chroma key (Greenscreen) still photography. Could anyone suggest good free software downloads that I could start off with. I understand that if I use a video based software, I may find difficulty in printing off hard copies.
I would also be most grateful for any advice on the subject.

If you use photoshop already for everything else then there is a free trial plugin which if you upgrade is only $99.00.
What are you shooting as sometimes there are other ways than green screen to achieve what you want?

Hi Sheringan.
Many thanks for your answer. My main interest in greenscreen is to be able to select any number of backdrops from a digital collection. I enjoy portrait photography and this way I can select a backdrop to suit the Mood and personality of my subject. - Being a bit of a cheapskate (not entirely true) I tend to use 'Gimp' rather than 'Photoshop', as I find that it seems to suit most of my requirements.
While I would appreciate a simpler extraction like as described- I do feel that in portraiture I would not want EVERY strand of hair. eg.,the example pic makes the girl appear to have three strands of beard hanging from her chin! -That's just my slant on things.....
