Mask Pro Features

Removes Unwanted Backgrounds

The Magic Brush tool removes unwanted backgrounds by painting over the areas you want to remove.

Color Decontamination

The key to making realistic composites lies in Color Decontamination - the process of removing partial color from a pixel and leaving it semi-transparent. Nothing compares to how easy Mask Pro makes this otherwise challenging task.

Color Based Masking

Choose colors to keep and colors with precise eyedroppers or more general highlighters to remove unwanted objects or areas.

Composite View

One of the best ways to see the quality of your mask is to use Mask Pro 4.1's Composite View which displays your underlying layers from Photoshop so you can see your composite take shape.

Complete Set of Tools

Mask Pro 4.1 gives you over a dozen different tools to choose from to help you create the perfect mask. From tools that do the "heavy lifting" to fine details, Mask Pro has you covered.

16-bit Support

Mask Pro 4.1 adds support for 16-bit images for professional Photoshop users.

Mask Pro Select

With Mask Pro 4.1, you have a choice between creating a mask or a selection. You can use the same color based method in Mask Pro Select to return a selection or work path back to Photoshop.

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 4.1 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 plug-in Mask Pro 4.1 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 4.1 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 4.1'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 plug-in as well a Photoshop selection plug-in. For images where you need to mask a transparent item, use the standard Mask Pro 4 .1mode 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 4.1 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 4.1 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..

What People Are Saying About Mask Pro

"I got to tell ya, this new version 4 of Mask Pro is the best yet! To be honest, I've always been frustrated with previous versions of Mask Pro. But because of having to regularly mask complex objects in Photoshop, I was looking forward to trying out the new version. It rocks! It's extremely user-friendly interface and snappy performance make it one of the most powerful plug-ins available for Photoshop." "I think you have made great strides in the development and functionality of Mask Pro. Your product is wonderful and I have been recommending your software to colleagues." - Alex D.

With Mask Pro, masking hair is easy. Just pick a few colors in the hair to keep and a few colors in the background to drop and paint over the hair with the Magic Brush. You can maintain transparency and an amazing amount of detail.

With Mask Pro, masking fine details like these leaves is easy and more importantly the results are amazingly accurate. There are no edge halos from the original blue sky around the edges of the leaves or branches. The edges stay transparent for the correct depth of field for a realistic composite.
