Cs5 Mask

EZ Mask - an easy-to-use online tool for masking - removing or isolating an object in an image. With EZ Mask can isolate almost any object, even if you are dealing with fine hair detail, smoke, or reflections. This extraction process creates what is called the "mask" - black and white subject. White areas are extracted, black areas not, and gray areas in between represent a level of transparency. The extracted object can then be inserted into the background in Adobe Photoshop, you can also apply filters to correct only the image area, selected by the mask.

EZ Mask is an easy to use interactive image masking tool capable of extracting almost any object in an image–even if you are dealing with fine hair detail, smoke, or reflections. To work this magic, EZ Mask iteratively estimates the transparency value for every pixel in the image, based on a small sample of foreground (what you want to cut out) and background pixels marked by simple strokes on the image. There is even a Refine mode where EZ Mask automatically updates the mask or composite as you paint a stroke. In addition, the foreground colors are estimated in the semi-transparent areas to create a seamless composite.
