 KnockOut
2 is a fast and powerful masking tool plug-in for Adobe Photoshop,
Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and Painter 7 that helps graphics professionals
mask complex or detailed objects to create high-end photo composites.
Complex masking, especially masking irregular or transparent
edges, can be a slow, laborious process that reduces graphics
professionals productivity and limits their creativity. While
most image-editing applications contain some sort of masking
functionality, few tools exist that let users mask complex, detailed
images both quickly and easily, while still retaining all of
the properties of the original image. KnockOut 2 addresses this
problem by giving graphics professionals the functionality they
need to mask virtually any object and create stunning composites
with masked images that are identical to the original images.
KnockOut 2 simply and quickly raises the quality of photo composites,
while dramatically increasing user productivity. Because it uses
complex algorithms to mask objects, KnockOut 2 lets users mask
detailed objects, such as hair, smoke, water, glass and shadows,
in a fraction of the time. Combined with a variety of new and
enhanced features, KnockOut 2 gives graphics professionals functionality
that exceeds the masking tools in standard imaging applications.
KnockOut 2 has a number of tools that make separating the foreground
object from the background significantly less time-consuming
than traditional masking techniques. Users can easily select
objects for masking in a digital photo by using the Inside Object
and Outside Object tools; the Inside Shadow and Outside Shadow
tools; the Inside Syringe tool; and the Edge Feather tool. These
tools allow users to produce soft transitions around foreground
edges and remove all traces of the visible background. This creates
images that can be used for creating clean composites with no
residual background from the original photos. As a plug-in, KnockOut
2 integrates seamlessly into any workflow. It is intuitive and
designed specifically to serve as a masking tool for users already
familiar with Adobe Photoshop. To this end, it features a similar
user interface (UI) as well as similar shortcut keys. KnockOut
2 is built for Mac OS X and features the new Aqua interface. |
