Where I used to outline the entirety of the hair, taking a few minutes to make sure I’d done it well (which is a mere fraction of what it would take to separate via frequency layers, or select in PS already) Topaz showed us how well the selection algorithms work in the software with a few simple brush strokes. This is certainly one of the tasks within Photoshop that has frustrated and even stumped many of us. This took me all of 2 minutes to mask him, and plop him down by dragging the masked layer onto two new background images.Īs a better illustration perhaps, here are some example shots from last year that I did, after Topaz put together a tutorial on masking hair. While not the best examples of what this software is capable of, it is an example of how you can have fun with a rather pedestrian snapshot, and a few extra minutes of spare time. Or perhaps we can mess with him later in life and tell him he started school in Amsterdam… This is how we will remember his very first day of kindergarten, that is unless… we’d rather remember it, out on the prairie: Nothing special, and honestly, rather boring. Here’s a snapshot of LBWHF this morning before his first day of school (yeah a weird midweek start). Knowing that I’ll be able to continue to use ReMask if and when that happens has made me very happy.Ĭ’mon in for a look at how easy it is to use ReMask5! I still use PS CS6, but have started to work with Affinity Photo in anticipation of CS6 becoming unsupported at some point down the line. Good news for the photography community at large as options are always good. While ReMask has always functioned as a plugin for Photoshop, version 5 now operates as a standalone too! This is great news for those of us who may be starting to work Adobe software out of our workflow as you can now select and mask a subject in an image within the program itself, and open that up in any layer based program. ReMask5 is available as a free upgrade to anyone who owns an earlier version, or on sale for new folk at 30% off, $49.99 (normally $69.99) via Topaz Labs website HERE If you use any layer based software, like Photoshop, or Affinity, this is a remarkable piece of software capable of saving hours upon hours. I’ve reviewed ReMask a couple times before, and have spoken at length about how useful I find it.
