Support for Chroma Key (green screen) background replacement

[MrAnalogy Profile]

I've got a bunch of photos against a green screen. I'd like to make the background transparent. I know you can use the Edge Finder tool to do this but since the background is all the same color, I thought it would be much easier to use a Chroma Key feature, if it exists.

Searched the help and no love.

Is this a feature of SP ?
If not, any plans to make it such?

Hi MrAnalogy,

The edge finder tool should work very well and quickly against green screen backgrounds. The brush effectively is an advanced chroma key system in a brush. Because the job is much easier than against complex backgrounds, you should be able to increase the size of the brush and go round the edge very quickly, letting the brush take the strain. With the brush on its largest setting and using the fill buckets the whole thing should take only a couple of seconds or so.
