InstantMask Pro let's you easily remove a picture background and if needed add a new one. The process is easy to learn and perform and you don't need lots of time to cut an object from a picture. Instead you just roughly mark an object and background with special markers and the program does the rest for you. New background can be white, transparent or any color you choose. Also you can use another picture as background to make a collage. The program works fast even on big pictures and has many convinient tools to fine tune your work. The result can be saved in JPG or PNG format with transparency support. The program works independently and does not require any other editor, such as Photoshop to be installed. We hope you''ll enjoy using this simple and powerful image masking tool.
Simple, basic, fast, and easy to understand. No layering or other time-consuming steps. Perfect for quick eBay-type photo editing so that you don't have to show the world your kitchen counter in addition to whatever you're selling!
Cons
Not for the artistically geared, but not everyone is trying to create art.
Summary
A simple tool for those of us that don't have PhotoShop and/or don't have the time or patience to deal with layers, etc., in it or most other photo-editing programs that have removal capabilities.
If anyone is looking for something fast and simple, without grandiose artistic goals, to edit photos for basic ebay type uses, I would like to suggest trying InstantMask Pro 2.7 (or one of their other InstantMask versions). You just open the image, take the green "crayon" and scribble a little on the item in the image you want to keep, then take the red "crayon" and scribble a little on the background that you want gone, and hit the "preview" icon. From there you can use their foreground and background tools to clean up/fill in any mistakes, then choose what background you want (color, transparent, etc) and hit save. There you go in under 5 minutes!
This is a terrific basic tool for people that have lots of pictures that they want to quickly remove the backgrounds from.
Is this a joke?

Pros
Nothing to like about this product.
Cons
I tried it with a notebook on a white background. The result was far worse than just using Photoshop's Magic Wand.
