Sorry for the typo. Yes the subject was not in the selection. I only selected the chroma . I also tried to select a chroma in an image I got online, the opacity issue did not occur. But the chroma in that image was all one color grade as opposed to my image where the chroma has different shades of green. I don't know if this has any effect. But the strange thing is that (in my original image) although the subject was not in the selection, the opacity decreased when I removed the chroma. This did not happen at the edges of the subject only but all of the subject lost opacity.
I have uploaded two images one before deleting the chroma and one after. You can see how the subject loses opacity. I also put a black bar behind the subject to make it clearer. And the issue you experienced concerning the remains of the green screen also happened as you can see.
Thanks or your help.
