Our Review of Fluid Mask 3 I was asked to have a look at piece of software called Fluid Mask 3 made by Vertus. It’s essentially a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that assists in doing cutouts. I spent 18 years in the graphic design and print industry and I couldn’t even begin to think how many cutouts I have done in that time.

Introduction

Creating cutouts with perfect edges has always been more time consuming a process than other image editing procedures --even in new Photoshop versions which have made these tasks considerably easier. And then spending loads of time on creatingimpressive cutouts is not something that everyone wants to do -- it's always nice to find a tool that will make thisprocess simpler. If you agree with that observation, you'll love Fluid Mask, a Photoshop plug-in from Vertus, which givesperfect results in minutes instead of hours.

Fluid Mask works from within Photoshop -- it analyses the image and creates groups of areas to be masked.

Installation

Download the installer file for Windows or Mac from the Vertus website. The setup routine automatically installs intothe plug-ins folder of Photoshop. For this tutorial, I am using the Windows version of Fluid Mask, but the Mac version doeswork in a similar way.
When launched for the first time, you will have a choice of running Fluid Mask as a demo (limited functionality), oractivating it fully using your serial key. If you choose to open it as a demo, you may later enter a purchased serial keyto activate it fully.

How To Use

Here's how you can create masks using this Photoshop plug-in.

1. Open an image in Photoshop.
   
2. Choose Filter | Vertus | Fluid Mask. (see Figure 1).
   Figure 1: Fluid Mask
   
3. First of all, Fluid Mask analyses the image -- this can take a while depending upon the size and complexity of theimage. Thereafter, you will see the Fluid mask interface (see Figure 2).
   Figure 2: The Fluid Mask interface
   
4. The interface is intuitive. The main preview window has three tabs -- source, workspace and output.
   Source: Source view shows the original image.
   Workspace: is to create and modify mask by clicking the show edges check box right at the bottom of thepreview area. Since your image is already analyzed, you'll see the automatic edge detection in place represented by blueoutlines (as shown in Figure 2 above)
   Output: Output view shows the final cutout.
   
5. You will also find a tool palette, which has different brushes used to create or modify masks. A separate Tool Optionsfloating palette allows you to tweak parameters for any selected tool.
   The masking is entirely based on the detection of the edges -- the parameters for the edge detection are set in a separateEdge Detection Options palette. Once you change any parameters, you need to apply the changes. This will prompt Fluid Maskto analyze your image again -- again, this might take a while.
   
6. By using the red and green brushes from the tool palette, you can select the area you want to delete or keep. The redareas are for deleting and the green areas are for retaining (see Figure 3). Draw with the requiredbrushes on the areas as required. If you inadvertently paint in a red area with a green brush, or vice versa, you canretouch that area with the correct brush color again until you get the correct areas chosen, and isolated.
   
   Tip: You can also select all red areas, and leave the green areas unpainted.

7. When the selections are made, click on the Cut-Out button which is at the bottom of the Tools palette as shown inFigure 4. The results can be seen in the output view.
   Figure 4: Create the cut-out
   If you are not happy with the results you can anytime switch to workspace view and make changes. Make sure that you click on the Cut-Out button after each change to preview the results.
   
8. When you are done, go to File menu and choose Save and Apply. This masks the image and applies the cut-out withinPhotoshop. Later you can add any background to the image.
   
   Tip: If you also want your original image within Photoshop, duplicate the layer and apply the mask to this duplicated layer.

Meet the Vertus Fluid Mask, a program designed to separate objects from photos from the background. Vertus Fluid Mask defines the outlines of objects by color and texture, taking into account also the shadows. The program has special tools for the accurate transfer of complex elements, for example, hair. With the help of Vertus Fluid Mask you can effectively separate complex objects - human hair, tree leaves, etc. - from a single image, performing various graphic operations over them, you can download Vertus Fluid Mask below.
The program can work in two modes, - as a stand-alone application, and as a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop. After the graphic file is uploaded to the Fluid Mask desktop, the intelligent mechanism carefully examines the contents of the picture and, guided by the data about the color palette, gradients and textures of the edited image, divides it into conditional zones.
Vertus Fluid Mask is a semi-automated tool that allows you to cut objects from the layer at the user's choice. It works quite simply: the layer is analyzed first, and the program allocates on it all the clear and fuzzy boundaries that it finds during the analysis of the image, folding completely Photoshop itself and loading its own interface.
Then you select any of the hand tools, brushes, which paint over the image sections, flipping away unnecessary and forcibly leaving those that want to change the background.
The program in the sense of performing its functions is quite powerful and very convenient, it reminds something of a cutout laboratory in Corel Paint.
