I trust that Topaz is still working with the program and are doing updates as the AI feature gets better – that seems to be the trend for their AI software.

Well I hope you load it up and try it out. Instead, need to add a layer mask to a duplicate layer before going into Mask AI – it will now load the selection into a PS layer mask upon applying. That way you do not have to paint it out.Īlso, it does not have, when used as a PS plug, the ability to “Enable Use Layer Mask” in the Preferences that was available with ReMask 5.

One thing the Help Manual does not tell you is that once you have added the blue lines, use the Fill bucket to add green to the keep areas and red for areas to remove. Apparently an image can be placed into the selection and there are several options to adjust the selection’s exposure, contrast, etc. I have never used this option, but it might come in handy to see what is really being selected. The Blur options blurs the background for you – gives you a slider to do this. Have always done this and it helps a lot. Background Options: When I am doing edge corrections with a very small brush, I usually add a really bright solid color background color so the problem areas can be seen well. Defringe – to help reduce halos on edges.ĥ.Foreground Recovery – revives the color of foreground in weaker or more transparent areas – good for fur, whiskers, or wispy hair.Edge Softness – add sharpening to sharp edges and softens edges as in a portrait.Edge Shift – shifts mask edge – I find this one major handy as it gets rid of some of the rough edges.

Not sure it helped me that much, but I am still new to the update so I may not be using it correctly.

It helps the AI technology figure out what you want to keep. If you create your own outline, be sure to add a touch of red or green in areas you don’t want or do want. I have not tried out the Contrast button yet, but the AI worked great on the tutorial they have embedded in the program to help you learn the software.ģ. Use Contrast for skylines, horizon lines, cars, and macro flower petals (according to Topaz). Topaz says use AI for complex masking issues such as trees, fur or lots of details. If it cannot find a subject, nothing happens.Ģ. So keep that in mind, use Auto first if possible.

What I will say is that I got much better results using the Auto button than by my brushing in my own blue outline around the tiger. One of the best new features is the Auto Button which automatically creates a selection as shown above. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF TOPAZ MASK AI ARE:ġ. I think it creates a better result than PS’s Quick Selection Tool with the Select Subject used. See how good the blue outline looks and it created a really overall smooth selection. This is my favorite way to clean up the image since corrections can be painted in any of the views if something does not look right. It takes a little longer for the computing to occur since it is AI technology.īelow is the interface after the Auto (Detect Objects button) and Compute buttons were pressed and showing the 4 previews at once. The brush size can be increased or decreased using the bracket keys as in PS. BTW, keyboard shortcuts for the Blue Brush is Q, Green is W and Red E – this makes it really quick to switch between the brushes, especially when doing clean up on the selection. The AI capability does appear to create a better initial selection, but there usually is still some clean up brushing required using a small sized Green brush (for keeping an area), Red brush (for removing an area), and Blue brush (for recalculating the area to match). My first impression is that it is not that different from ReMask 5 so if you have used it in the past, the plugin will be familiar to you. It is also a stand alone program where the selections can be saved as a Transparent PNG file. So the Sumatran Tiger (from the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, DC) above was my first attempt using the program – I used it as a plugin in Photoshop, which is how I have always used it.

I stand corrected – this is not a free update for past owners – not sure why since the product is very similar to the original – apparently they are giving past owners a discount. This week Topaz (for website see sidebar at my Tidbits Blog) unleashed their newest in their lineup of AI products by updating the old Topaz ReMask to Topaz Mask AI.
