Perform still-image masking using easy to master interface and workflow.
Fastest masking available today - from loading to final cut-out. Turn hours of tedious work into something that's short to complete and fun to do... Quick and easy to pick up, Fluid Mask 3 offers an intuitive workflow. Check out the edge guides that makes selecting the cut-out as easy as coloring by numbers and the always visible interactive help. Amazing edge quality. Always thought the pen tool makes cut-outs look a bit too artificial and clean? Now Fluid Mask 3 takes blending to a new level by preserving the edge data. In the final result, natural edge blur and contour is preserved for the best, most authentic cut-outs ever.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I haven't been on versiontracker for a long time but now I'm on a personal crusade to make sure as few people buy this software as possible after what I've been through with it. I have had to contact their support people no fewer than 10 times because their activation scheme for the software is CONSTANTLY preventing from using this software if you change your hardware configuration. There is no deactivation option so I've almost missed deadlines because I had to wait for a weekday to get their tech people to reset my activation - all because I added RAM to my machine. This is the worst DRM combined with the worst support and it's a nightmare. AVOID THIS GARBAGE.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />the description says fluid mask "mimics the way the eye, optic-nerve and brain perform visual processing". i can clearly see the edges, but fluid mask consistently misses them (tried at 72dpi, at 300dpi and at 600dpi). either fluid mask need a good pair of glasses or i'm doing something wrong. i prefer to think the latter, but i thought this is supposed to be an easy to use plugin. photos with bluescreen background works well, but that is expected.
Extraordinary!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I don't know how many PS mask plugins I've tried over the years, from the terrible to the "well, I guess it's a little better than built-in..."
This one stands at the top of the heap, and is "Wow! MUCH better!"
Better thought out; easier to use; understands textures; easily handles the finest details. If you're doing masking, you -need- to at least give this little puppy a try!
