The new SmartMask 4.0 image-editing tool specializes in masking challenging objects found in photographs. Tools are available to the user that allow the selection type to be defined. This enables the user to cut out hard-edged objects or, if desired, soft or downy objects such as hair with a manageable number of clicks.
The program is available for Windows as well as Mac OS in 32-bit or 64-bit versions. The program is built either as a standalone application or as a plug-in. Both versions are priced at 83,30,- EUR. The second variant, the plug-in, can be used in programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Paint Shop Pro.
Anyone who wants to approach it gradually may, according to Akvis, try the 10-day trial version. ->Redirect to the manufacturer’s site
