This is very quick and explicitly shows what is going to be cut away. Now take the red paint bucket and click all areas of the image the you want to remove. If you have areas that should have some transparency, simply paint those areas with the same blue brush. Now paint all the edges ensuring that the brush touches both the keep area and what you want to discard. Set as small a brush size as is reasonable. Take your mouse, trackpad pointer or tablet stylus and select the blue brush icon. The default setting is keep everything, which covers the image with a greenish transparent cover. Open the file in Lightroom, or Photoshop or now, directly in Remask by the appropriate means. Dealing with transparency is painful, but Remask makes it very easy. Cutting a mask on relatively sharp edges is not really all that hard, but is time consuming. Consider a bridal veil, or long hair or some other similar situation. I use Remask because I bore easily but more importantly because it does a superb job, particularly when you have areas of partial transparency.
Using topaz remask 5 update#
That changed with the recent update to Remask 5.
The tool I advocate is called Remask and until recently was available only as a plugin for editing applications from the folks at Topaz Labs. I tend to use a third party tool for this myself and was reminded of its efficacy by a webinar delivered by my fellow educator #BlakeRudis.
While most of the attendees found the workshop very useful, the general consensus was that making selections for masking would take a lot of practice and that while Photoshop does a good job, the user interface can be complicated and some of the tools cumbersome. I recently taught an Introductory workshop for Photoshop on Layers and Masks.
