I am seriously impressed by today's imaging tip, a Photoshop plugin by the name of Fluid Mask from Vertus. Anyone who's ever had to make a spot-on cutout of complex figures like trees, hair or this frog here - this one's for you. Fluid Mask is a powerful plugin for creating the perfect mask complete with its own toolset, a regional color picker, edge detection that's borderline intelligent and a bit of a new concept called the Image Imformation Layer. Check out Vertus's cutout gallery for some prime examples of this plugin's power, as well as their tutorials page to get up to speed with this most impressive of masking and cutout plugins. While the plugin is OSX only right now, they have a Windows version coming soon. If I've caught your attention, go snag a free trial.
