Hi everybody.
I'm having a lot of trouble with my greenscreen. The greenscreen itself works really great, but the green is reflecting on to my characters and/or set, and we all know that's not good. So whenever I apply the chroma key, parts of my characters and/or set are being erased!
I'm using EOS utility for my DSLR. (I'm purchasing proper stopmotion software soon). I know this might sound like a noob question but, how do I even upload a picture? When I click the "Img" icon, it just shows some text in parentheses.

Also, I don't don't know if this will help, but I'm using a Canon EOS Rebel XS DSLR with a Nikon 35-80mm lens via an adapter. My program for the chroma key is Paint.NET. Here's a link to that: http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

From the info provided, I don't think it's going to be a camera issue or software issue, unless it's Paint.NET's chroma keying features. Sounds more like lighting. Can't be sure without a pic though.
You can upload a picture to a website like Imgur (or any other image hosting website) then put the URL to the image between tags. 
Okay.
Here's my setup pics.

Try moving the greenscreen further away from the set. The more you move it away, the less green light should be bouncing onto it.
Alternatively, buy some anti-reflective spray and coat your figures with it.
Thanks Littlebrick. I'll try that this evening and report back how it works.
Moving the greenscreen worked great! Thanks Littlebrick.
