PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

KnockOut 2 is a fast and powerful masking tool plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and Painter 7 that helps graphics professionals mask complex or detailed objects to create high-end photo composites. Complex masking, especially masking irregular or transparent edges, can be a slow, laborious process that reduces graphics professionals productivity and limits their creativity. While most image-editing applications contain some sort of masking functionality, few tools exist that let users mask complex, detailed images both quickly and easily, while still retaining all of the properties of the original image.

KnockOut 2 addresses this problem by giving graphics professionals the functionality they need to mask virtually any object and create stunning composites with masked images that are identical to the original images. KnockOut 2 simply and quickly raises the quality of photo composites, while dramatically increasing user productivity. Because it uses complex algorithms to mask objects, KnockOut 2 lets users mask detailed objects, such as hair, smoke, water, glass and shadows, in a fraction of the time.

Combined with a variety of new and enhanced features, KnockOut 2 gives graphics professionals functionality that exceeds the masking tools in standard imaging applications. KnockOut 2 has a number of tools that make separating the foreground object from the background significantly less time-consuming than traditional masking techniques. Users can easily select objects for masking in a digital photo by using the Inside Object and Outside Object tools; the Inside Shadow and Outside Shadow tools; the Inside Syringe tool; and the Edge Feather tool.

These tools allow users to produce soft transitions around foreground edges and remove all traces of the visible background. This creates images that can be used for creating clean composites with no residual background from the original photos. As a plug-in, KnockOut 2 integrates seamlessly into any workflow. It is intuitive and designed specifically to serve as a masking tool for users already familiar with Adobe Photoshop. To this end, it features a similar user interface (UI) as well as similar shortcut keys. KnockOut 2 is built for Mac OS X and features the new Aqua interface.

•

Enhanced! Polygonal Line tool: mask large, complex images faster and more easily by using the polygonal mode to define your selection by points or freehand

•

Transition Complexity: utilize four settings to describe the amount of detail in the foreground and background area of an image, and create a more precise mask by choosing the setting that’s appropriate for the image

Exceptional speed and productivity

•

Enhanced! Adobe Photoshop compatibility: as an Adobe Photoshop plug-in, KnockOut 2 features shortcut keys, menus, and commands similar to those in Adobe Photoshop. This makes the software more intuitive for those who have made Adobe Photoshop an integral part of their tool set

•

New! Revert File options: return to an earlier version of an image whenever you want to discard unwanted changes. If the image has never been saved, KnockOut 2 will retrieve it from the host application or file and discard the current image. If the image was previously saved, KnockOut 2 will revert to the last saved state

•

Retain the fine details of transparent objects such as fire, glass, and ice.

•

Select image elements that were previously impossible to capture including hair.

•

Preserve the transparency of shadows and highlights to create truly realistic images.

New! Multiple Undo/Redo: with up to 99 levels of Undo/Redo, you can go back to different stages of your work rather than starting from scratch. Specify how many Undo or Redo levels you require, and select which shortcut keys you prefer to use for Redo

•

Automatic error correction: avoid costly or time-consuming mistakes before they happen. KnockOut 2 automatically prevents you from making selections that will cause errors

Powerful new masking tools

•

Background insert: insert Adobe Photoshop, JPEG, Macintosh PICT and TIFF images as a background after processing the foreground of an image. KnockOut 2 also includes a library of images that can be inserted, or you can import your own images

•

Inside Object and Outside Object tools: use the Inside Object tool to draw the marquee selection lines that define the color in the interior of the transition area or the foreground object, and use the Outside Object tool to draw the lines that define the color in the background of the transition area
