User Guide
onOne Mask Pro 4
Welcome to onOne Sotware Mask Pro 4,
the premier masking and selection toolor Adobe Photoshop. Using advanced
color matching and decontamination
technology, Mask Pro 4 helps you create
awless masks rom the most difcult im-
ages. New and improved eatures give you
better control than ever beore over edge
transparency and background color spill.
With the most robust and intuitive tool set
on the market, Mask Pro 4 is the essential
masking tool.
What is Masking?
Masking is the process o selecting and
then erasing parts o an image. Typically,
you select parts o the image you want to
keep and then erase the areas you want to
drop. You can then composite the image
with a second image. For example, in the
image on the right, you might want to
erase the solid background and compositethe woman with an ofce or library.
To mask an image in Photoshop, you use
a selection tool to isolate the part o the
image you want to keep, and erase the rest. Sounds easy
enough, but in reality, its not. Images with busy back-
grounds are extremely difcult to mask cleanly. Removing
everything but your target is oten very time consuming
and you are still let with edge spill bits o background
color that can create a halo eect around the edge.
Mask Pros varied toolset and unique color matching
technology let you zero in on the areas you want to keep
and the areas you want to drop. Color decontamination
helps prevent edge spill and the suite o Cleanup tools lets
you touch up any remaining trouble spots. Mask Pro has
the technology and tools you need to create awless masks.
Why do I need Mask Pro?
In the simplest terms, Mask Pro saves time, money and
aggravation. Masks, selections and clipping paths that can
take hours to create properly in Photoshop alone come
down to minutes or seconds with Mask Pro, with perect
edges, no stray pixels, no haloes o erased backgrounds to
get in the way.

Chapter 3 Getting Started
On some images, you may only need one or two Mask
Pro tools to create a good mask; others can require use o
nearly the entire Toolbox. Understanding the tool set is
one o the keys to efcient masking, and perect results.
Masking vs. Selecting
Masking is the process o selecting and then erasing parts
o an image. Typically, you select parts o the image you
want to keep and then erase the areas you want to drop.
You can then composite the image with a second image.
For example, we could mask everything in the photo at
the right except our bubbles and the girl, then compositethem with a photo o a park. With Mask Pro, you can
achieve a result so realistic, no one but you will ever know
there ever was a driveway.
Selecting is done in exactly the same way, except that the
actual pixels are not altered. For example, we could select
the girl and her bubbles, then apply Photoshop flters to
just those areas, leaving the background untouched.
I your goal is to create a composite image, you will want
to start Mask Pro in masking mode. I you want to create
a selection instead or example to make a clipping path
you will probably choose to start Mask Pro in selection
mode.
To mask an image and remove the background:
Open the image in Photoshop and chooseFilter>onOne>MaskPro4...oronOne>MaskPro4>MaskPro4...
To create a precise selection but keep the background:
Open the image in Photoshop and chooseSelect>onOne>MaskPro4Select...oronOne>MaskPro4Select>MaskPro4Select...
To create a work path:
1.UseMaskProtomaskanimageorcreateaselection.
2.Savethemaskorselection.
3.ChooseSelect>onOne>MaskProSelect:MakeWork

Masking modes
Most Mask Pro tools are capable o operating in either
Erase mode or Restore mode. In Erase mode, the tool erases
pixels to transparency, while in Restore mode, previously
erased pixels are made opaque again, restoring the originalimage. This makes Restore mode a local undo method
similar to the Photoshop history brush. Clicking this part
o the Toolbox cycles modes between Erase, Restore and
the combination Erase/Restore mode. This last option is
only available or the Magic Brush and Magic Bucket, as
detailed below.
In addition to the Toolbox indicator, most tools display a
visual indication o their current mode by including a plus
(+) sign in their cursor when in Restore mode, or a minus
(-) sign in their cursor when in Erase mode. This includesthe Brush and Magic Brush, Bucket and Magic Bucket,
Magic Wand, Airbrush and the Gavel. Neither the Blur tool
nor the color selection Eyedroppers and Highlighters are
aected by the Mask Mode settings, and the Pen and Magic
Pen are only aected by Mask Mode when their paths are
closed and the Gavel appears.
PlusandminusindicatorsonthePenandMagicPenindicatecreationordeletionof
pointsont heirpath s,notmaski ngmode.
Erase/Restore Mode
Mask Pro intelligently decides whether pixels are erased
or restored, based on active Keep and Drop colors. Erase/
Restore mode is only available when the Magic Brush or
Magic Bucket tools are selected (see MagicBrush and
MagicBucket).
Erase Mode
Mask Pro erases pixels to transparency. Once pixels under
a tool cursor are ully transparent, no urther eect will be
applied.
Restore Mode
Mask Pro restores pixels to their pre-masked condition.
The eect is the return to opacity o previously erased
parts o the image, so there is no urther eect once pixels
under a tool cursor are ully opaque. Restore mode is mostuseul when you have erased too much and want to restore
specifc parts o the image.
Magic Tools
The Mask Pro magic tools occupy the let side o the
Toolbox, just below the color selection tools, and include
the Magic Brush, Magic Bucket, Magic Wand and Magic
Pen. The frst three use the Keep and Drop Color palettes
and Highlighters to determine their eect, while the last
uses edge detection and attraction in the image. Withproper adjustment o the Tool Options settings, the magic
tools are a match or even the most complicated image.
Magic Brush
The Magic Brush gives you fne control over the
edges o the mask by intelligently masking out colors
defned with the Drop Highlighter and Drop Color palette,and keeping colors defned with the Keep Highlighter and
the Keep Color palette. The Magic Brush is best used wher-ever background and oreground colors dier enough to
choose Keep and Drop colors and areas. To use the Magic
Brush most efciently, frst select the maskingmode as detailed above.

Click on the path between two existing points (cursor

Once the path is complete, the cursor changes to the Gavel
. Use the Gavel to erase or restore the pixels inside or
outside the path, depending on where it is clicked, and the
current masking mode.
The Pen tools do not create clipping paths. Tocreate a clipping path, frst create your mask orselection, apply it, and then choose Select > onOne> Mask Pro 4: Make Work Path. For more, seeWorkPaths.

Cleanup Tools
No matter how perect the tools, all masks need to be
cleaned up. The Mask Pro standard tools are well suited to
touching up a nearly fnished mask, but Mask Pro 4 alsoadds two new specialized tools that help make Cleanup a
quick and easy task.
Chisel
The Chisel tool is used to either chisel o or restore pixels
rom the edges o your mask. Use the Chisel when youneed to accurately restore the edge pixels to an image that
was masked too closely, or to tighten the edges o a mask
that is either too loose, or that contains background color
spill.
To use the Chisel tool:
