The first time I used Fluid Mask (version 2), I immediately closed the software and returned to the excellent tutorials and documentation provided on the Vertus website. Like all software I test, I installed it and jumped right in to see if I could figure it out without reading the documentation. Using the tools, you can quickly select the background and the program offers the option to automatically ll in the foreground. When you launch Fluid Mask either from Photoshop as a plug-in or as a standalone application, it detects all of the edges in the image, giving the appearance that it has converted your photo into a paint-by-numbers painting (no kidding). Most selection software requires the user to draw an outline or select the colors of the subject to be selected. It’s described by the company as the “#1 Still Image Cutout Tool,” and after working with it for a few weeks, it appears the third generation of this plug-in offers major improvements over Fluid Mask 2. So it was with a little skepticism that I began evaluating the Photoshop plug-in by Vertus called Fluid Mask 3.

Often the software solution turns out to be only a little better than the manual method.

For almost as long, companies have been offering software that promises to perform the pixelated exorcism in a fast and painless manner. Since the dawn of Photoshop, users have spent countless hours in their quests to remove subjects from backgrounds in photos.
