OnOneSoftware Mask Pro v4.1.2 for Adobe Photoshop

Time is money, stop wasting both making complex selections in Photoshop. Mask Pro 4.1 makes it easy to create masks, selections and clipping paths on difficult subjects like hair, glass and fog.

Mask Pro 4's tool-box lets you use the right tools for different parts of your image, see and refine your mask in real time.

Mask Pro allows you to cut out a subject from the background by assigning keep and drop colors and simply painting away the background. Mask Pro makes it easy to create masks, selections and clipping paths on difficult subjects like hair, glass and fog all in real-time.

Key Features:

* Remove unwanted backgrounds with easy, intuitive techniques;
* Maintain transparency in hard to mask objects like hair, smoke & glass;
* Includes 12 tools to mask everything from large backgrounds to the finest details in hard to mask areas;
* Works with 8-bit and 16-bit images in Photoshop CS3, CS4 and CS5.

* Complete Collection of Masking Tools
When masking an image, you may need more than one tool to get the job done. That's why Mask Pro provides a complete collection of tools that help you take on the toughest masking project. Included are tools such as the Magic Brush which will remove colors while maintaining transparency as well as touch up tools like the Chisel which will help you get the edges of your image perfect without any edge halos at all.

* Masking without Halos
If you have ever spent time creating masks or cutting a subject out of a background you know that the background color is picked up in the edge of the foreground subject as a reflection or halo. This halo effect will prevent your subject from blending with a new background in a realistic looking way. With Mask Pro's color decontamination technology and touch up tools, halos are a thing of the past.

* No More Guessing with Real-Time Masking Previews
The problem with other Photoshop plug-in masking tools is that many operate in the click and pray mode. You draw a couple of lines or paint the edge of your subject and then click apply and pray that it works right. If things don't work out the way you expected there is not much you can do other than start over again.
It's different with Mask Pro as you can see the results in real-time as you work. You can see your image on a new solid color background, a checkerboard or even against the underlying layer in Photoshop to visualize your final composite as you mask.

* Masking Hair and Transparent Objects
Masking images that contain hair can be tricky and often frustrating. It is difficult to use a tool that relies on edge detection to mask something like hair or other thin or transparent subjects.

As a plug-in for Photoshop, Mask Pro works differently by using color instead of edges. This allows it to easily create a mask that preserves the details you want and even removes unwanted ambient color contamination caused by reflections and transparency. Mask Pro actually paints away the colors that you do not want in your image, leaving a natural transition between the subject and background.
