Review: "The single thing that I like most about digital photography is being able to cut out an object or person and place them in a new photograph. Depending on your software, cutting out and masking skills, you can produce a very accurate cut out and still retain the finest of hair detail. An item of software that recently came to my attention was Vertus Fluid Mask 2.0, a Photoshop plug in that allows you to quickly create very complex masks. The software is available for both Mac OSX and Windows XP. Let's put this software through some tough tests and see how it compares to some other offerings.
I have been using KnockOut for a number of years, it is excellent value for money but does require a lot of post production to clean up images. I have used Fluid Mask 2.0 for a month or so and am still finding new ways of doing things, it performs very well and I can achieve a cut out in the fraction of time it used to take me. I will be using Fluid Mask 2.0 for the foreseeable future. A superb piece of software for the professional and keen hobbyist photographer who demands the best."
