Vertus, the graphics and imaging software division of Heligon, a technology business specializing in image data interpretation, today announced the official launch of its much-anticipated Fluid Mask 3 masking software. Previously available only as a public BETA in Windows, the new version of Vertus' award-winning image editing software is the professionals' choice for rapid, powerful and intuitive masking and high-quality image blending.
Addressing the pressing challenge of quickly and easily separating problem images, such as human hair and tree leaves, Fluid Mask 3 leverages a more effective edge detection system, along with the improved "Smart Blending" capability unique to the software. Fluid Mask 3 presents a slider which enables the user to seamlessly switch between "Smart Blending" and standard feather blending. Next, within focused areas, the user may invoke complex edge and special hair blending algorithms, which, for the first time, automatically cut out tricky edges and difficult hair such as highlights and hair with wide color differences (e.g. black hair next to white hair against a grey background).
"Fluid Mask 3 is the most powerful masking tool available today. The accuracy and speed with which this software separates difficult images such as human hair from a background takes image editing to a new level. Based on experience and the feedback we have received we are confident that Fluid Mask 3 is unrivaled in its abilities to perform these detailed functions accurately and efficiently," said James Carr-Jones, president & CEO of Vertus. "This newest version of what has already been an extremely well-received masking tool greatly enhances some of its most critical features - namely its speed, edge blending and overall ease-of-use."
