Fluid Mask is a plug-in for Photoshop that enables quick and easy image cut-outs. This versatile software also functions as a stand-alone application.
Fluid Mask is an innovative software tool that simplifies the task of creating cutouts, making it ideal for professionals and amateurs alike. As a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop, this next-generation cut-out tool boasts breakthrough technology that leverages the way the human eye, optic nerve, and brain process visual information. The result is an intuitive, accurate, and speedy approach to cut-outs.
One of Fluid Mask's distinct features is the Edge Overlay, which reveals object edges within an image, making masking a whole lot easier. It offers a range of possibilities to select, group, and mask objects in images, enabling better cut-outs. Masking is an essential process of selecting and then erasing sections of an image. In this case, you can blend this cut-out flawlessly onto another picture, like adding a new sky or background image behind a tree or placing a golfer on a desert to create an illusion that they are in the world's largest bunker!
Typically, masking an image in most editing tools involves a selection tool to isolate the part of the picture you want to keep, and erase the rest. This process is time-consuming and challenging to achieve the desired results. It becomes more challenging when working with images with complex backgrounds, leaving bits of background color that may create an unrealistic or exaggerated halo effect around the edge.
Fluid Mask eliminates these challenges and applies new sampling and selecting tools, edge blending algorithms, and complex hair blending technology that gets fantastic results from multi-colored whispy hair. This software ensures professional results with ease.
Fluid Mask 3 is faster than ever, reducing the image processing time dramatically and concentrating on speeding up workflow. The software features saving workspace settings from one image to the next for runs of studio shots and new patch technology, which has an intuitive tool-set for working on those difficult problem areas with compression artifact.
Fluid Mask 3 benefits from a simplified interface and on-application help, making it easy to use. For the professional user, there are new features like selecting areas for local detailed edge finding and blending, making masking challenges easy to overcome.
Fluid Mask has some essential features that make it unique, like identifying edges before beginning masking using the Edge Overlay view, easily selecting objects with the "click-and-cut" feature, intuitive Edge Detection options to find hard-to-see edges, and fine-tune mask selections at the pixel level using color palettes. Fluid Mask also allows work in progress to be easy to review with synchronous masking and blending, meaning that no double work is necessary. This feature automatically differentiates between hard and soft edges in the blend.
To run Fluid Mask, you will require an SVGA monitor with 24-bit color display, PowerPC G4 or G5 or Intel processor, 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended), and 200MB of available hard-disk space. Product activation is possible with an internet connection or email, and it requires Photoshop CS2 or CS3 if installed as plug-in. Fluid Mask can also be installed as standalone software.
Fluid Mask comes with a 14-day trial, allowing you to enjoy the software's features before buying.
