Mask Pro 4.12 is the premiere, award-winning plugin for masking in Photoshop.
The latest version of Mask Pro 4.12 supports masking 8-bit and 16-bit digital images
in Photoshop CS2, CS3, and CS4. Several new "Show Me How" video tutorials are built
directly into Mask Pro 4.12 so you can get visual training quickly. No other masking
or selection tool gives you the professional level results like Mask Pro 4.12.

Complete Collection of Masking Tools

In any given image, you may need more than one tool to get the job done. That's why
Mask Pro 4.12 plug-in for Photoshop 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. Each tool includes a palette where you can quickly and easily adjust
the tool settings.

Masking Hair and Transparent Objects

Masking images that contain hair can be tricky and often frustrating. This is often
because hair is thin, semi-transparent in some parts and rarely has a sharp edge. It is
difficult to use a tool that relies on edge detection to mask something like hair or
other thin or transparent subjects.

The award-winning Photoshop plugin Mask Pro 4.12 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 4.12 actually paints away the colors that you do not want in your image, leaving
a natural transition between the subject and background.

No Edge 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 4.12's color decontamination technology
and touch up tools, you can say goodbye to these halos forever.

With the color decontamination enabled, background colors are removed from the edges the
of the foreground subject. The edges of the foreground subject are maintained but are now
semi-transparent because only the background colors have been removed from those edge pixels

Two Photoshop Plug-Ins in One

With Mask Pro 4.1 you get standard Photoshop plugin as well a Photoshop selection plugin.
For images where you need to mask a transparent item, use the standard Mask Pro 4.12 mode
and you can mask any image using the simple method of choosing colors to keep and colors to
drop. Unlike other methods where you make a selection and then hope for the best, Mask Pro
4.12 provides you with real-time previews, so there is never any doubt as to the results.

For the times when you just want to make a selection, you can use the advanced selection
tools in Mask Pro 4.1 Select to give you a high-quality selection that can be used to create
an alpha channel or super-accurate clipping path.

Preview Masking Results in Real-Time Eliminates Guess Work

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 to fix it other than start over again. It's different
with Mask Pro 4.12 plug-in as you can see the results in real-time as you work. You can see
your image on a new solid color background, against the underlying layer or even view the
mask itself.

This way you can see your results and the quality of your mask as you create it. If you make
a mistake it is as easy to undo entire brush strokes or portions of a brush stroke or you can
just paint portions of the original image back in. You can even see multiple views in real-time
so you can see what your composite looks like as well as the mask at the same time..
