Chroma Key
With the Chroma Key feature, you can use the Hollywood style "green
screen" technique to make part of your image layers transparent. This is a
great way to remove backgrounds or parts of an image and superimpose
layers on top of one another.

Thankfully, you're not limited to only having green backgrounds in all of
your photos.

Choosing Images to Use with Chroma Key
Chroma Key can’t just make whole swaths of an image transparent if
there’s a lot of color variety. It works best with images that have a
consistent region of color in them. This doesn’t just have to be the
background. If you want to make someone’s shirt appear transparent for an
effect, and the shirt is mostly one color, give it a shot.
You’re free to try the feature with any image but you’re going to get the
best results if the image has one consistent color throughout the area you
want to turn transparent.
