Hey everybody!
I've got a problem with a shot I'm trying to key.... well the key isn't the problem, but the fact that the shot is in a very dark place with bright green outside that needs to be replaced with a dark background (a guy in a spaceship where the greenscreen is in the windows) produces really annoying grey outlines in the hair details.
I'm going nuts as I don't seem to be able to get rid of it... huecurves, spill sponge, keylight don't work well with this shot.
Any bright ideas?

Create an edge matte and use that to color correct the grey to the color of the hair.

Thanks Beaker. Sometimes the most obvious solution is hidden!
This worked out great.
