Mask Pro 4.1 plug-in for Photoshop provides a complete collection of tools that cater to the gamut of masking projects. These include:
- the Magic Brush which will remove colors while maintaining transparency
- the Chisel which helps to get the edges of your image perfect with no edge halos
- several new "Show Me How” video tutorials, built directly into the program for instant visual training
- a Tutorial & Tool Tips palette that provides the user with a running menu on time-saving tool tips and usage.
- a well written and illustrated PDF Users Guide
- improved navigators and
- a new Tip and Shortcut palette
Randy Brandon of www.akappleug.org says "The most sought after, and perhaps favorite feature of Mask Pro 4 is its ability to make transparent selections of such objects as bubbles, glass, etc."
Remember the time you spent hours trying to mask that head of hair? So often, hair is thin and semi-transparent with no sharp edges, which proves quite the challenge for a tool that relies on edge detection for masking.
Mask Pro 4.1 is the first program to use colour detection instead of edges. So now you can keep the details you want in your mask, and remove any ambient colour contamination that snuck in there via reflections and transparency.
Using Mask Pro 4.1’s new tools, you can paint away the colours you don’t want, leaving a more natural differentiation between your subject and its background.
No Edge Halos
If you have any experience creating masks, you know how easily background color is picked up on the edge of your subject in the form of reflections or halos.
Until now, this halo effect has prevented subjects from blending with new backgrounds in an entirely convincing fashion. With Mask Pro 4.1's new color decontamination technology and touch up tools, halos have become a thing of the past.
Preview Masking Results in Real-Time Eliminates Guess Work
The trouble with other Photoshop plug-in masking tools is that many operate with a "click and pray" delay. Draw your lines or paint your edges, then click apply and hope for the best. If things don't pan out as planned, there’s no turning back; just start from scratch. With Mask Pro 4.1 plug-in, you watch the changes in real time as you work.
This way you can observe the quality of your mask as you create it; if you make a mistake, you can undo entire brush strokes or even portions of a brush stroke, or you can simply paint portions of the original image back in. You can even see multiple views in real time: see your composite alongside your mask.
What People Are Saying About Mask Pro
“Once you’ve tried Mask Pro, you’ll never want to go back to the old way of making masks and selections.”
— Karl Hodge, MacWorld UK
“The tools in Mask Pro 4 have once again elevated the fine art of masking to a whole new level. It works very, very well, and provides users with another vital tool that is indispensable for serious professional quality results.”
— Randy Brandon, www.akappleug.org
“When working with the Magic Brush, or any tool that can change size, Mask Pro has the best functionality of any program I've seen. One of the nifty things about Mask Pro is that after you've processed the image, you can mix and match your processes to get the best final image."
— Gary Coyne, www.applelinks.com.
"Mask Pro provides a very easy technique for improving the quality of your isolated objects, making them more believable on any new background."
— Advanced Photoshop Magazine

SiteGrinder 2 - Photoshop Plugin
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder 2 seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, this program turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder 2, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, this program is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks.
Generate Your Web Pages Directly From Photoshop
By generating web pages directly from Photoshop, you'll be able to spend much more time on the creative end of the spectrum, since you'll know right off the bat how well particular designs will translate to the web. No more going back to the Photoshop drawing board after getting a phone call from your development team, telling you that what you had envisioned doesn't have a chance of being displayed on the web. You can immediately visually and interactively test your designs, which permits you to then make changes to either esthetics or functions while it's still relatively early on in the design process.
Pricing and Availability
Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download. SiteGrinder 2 can be ordered from Media Lab's online store.
