To reduced blending and colour contamination, you’re limited to working with the color range brushes and with the desaturation and the edge shift slider. Without a dedicated blend-tool, refining the edges can be rather tricky. It would be somewhat more useful if it were a lasso marquee and if the marquee also contained the adjustments not just the mask. However, there’s a limit to the localization since it’s always a square. The selection tool can be used for localized masking. Combined with the spacebar + drag function it’s in fact easy to zoom / pan. Fortunately there’s a zoom-function built into the mouse-wheel, and that works rather well and also seems to be more stable than the +/- for zoom. If you’ve used the square marquee to mask a specific area, the focus is lost when using the zoom in/out. They seem somewhat illogical, with static zoom-levels without the ability to zoom into a marked area. On a Danish keyboard, this means that the task of adjusting the brush size – Brackets keys – requires you to hold down the Alt Gr. To that end, Topaz Remask employs some of the Adobe Photoshop keyboard layout, but sadly without the ability to customize the layout. That would make it easier to use and be precise in the adjustment of the primary Compute brush-size. It would be nice though, to have a clear indication of the initially analyzed edges and segments. In some ways, I prefer the Topaz Remask work-flow, where you start by marking out the difficult areas rather than the cut- and keep-areas. Well, you’re actually saving a 4-map (Keep, Cut, Compute and Transparency), but unfortunately you can’t save the Adjustments or the changes in color recovery/desaturation. It’s intuitive, easy on the eyes, and with the 4-split screen, where you can edit on each of the 4 screens, the program has the upper-hand over the competitors.Ĭonsidering that a cut-out process can be quite tricky and time-consuming, it’s also a welcome feature that you can save a project / Trimap / mask as you go along. It’s evident that a lot of planning has gone into the Topaz Remask interface.
