New Photoshop Image Masking Tool From Paravue

Paravue has announced a new image masking tool for Adobe Photoshop. At a price of $249 this new tool will ship in May, and is designed for photographers, web and graphic designers, as well as motion graphic artists. Below is text provided by the Paravue website, where you can sign-up for notification of the product release, see a video tutorial and download a .pdf document containing more information.

Today's image editing tools are powerful-but they rely ultimately on skill to get the desired results. Turbo mask works like the human eye to pick out the important subject in an image. Because turbo mask understands objects like people do, it removes them from backgrounds accurately-often with just one click! If you need something more to perfect your turbo mask results, you can use options in turbo mask or the Photoshop editing tools.

Paravue technology leverages scientific research into human visual perception to model how the eye perceives images. By extracting high level information from images, Paravue offers a radical new approach to solving one of the most vexing problems in the imaging world. Turbo Mask then delivers the relevant information as a mask to Photoshop where the image can be edited. With Turbo Mask, it is frequently no longer necessary to spend long, tedious hours using the traditional hand drawn method or other masking tools.

Turbo Mask revolutionizes creative design. For images with a well defined subject and an identifiable background, Turbo Mask will identify and generate a high quality mask of the subject and deliver it as a Photoshop alpha channel or layer mask. Get the results you want in just one or two clicks! Turbo Mask does not require any expertise or specialization to get started.
