![]() SCX hat geschrieben:I have tested Lightroom some weeks ago and didn't buy it. At one point, I had ReMask on for a trial but eventually didn’t do anything with it and dumped it. ![]() I'll look at ReMask too, given your recommendation. I use Topaz Adjust in PL and get great results. I hope that someday PhotoLine will be able to run the more advanced plugins like Perfect MASK. The files produced when Perfect MASK is called from Lr are PSD format. Perfect MASK, unfortunately, is "Adobe-centric" and does not work with PhotoLine. An advantage of the Topaz plugins is once you buy the plugin, all updates - simple revisions and future versions - are free. All of these processes in Lr produce a new TIF file in the Lightroom library. ![]() photoFXlab works the same way in PhotoLine, too. If you have multiple Topaz plugins, a better option is to add Topaz photoFXlab for the host function, allowing you to apply multiple plugins if needed before returning to Lightroom. To run ReMask directly from Lr, you'll need to download Topaz Fusion Express (free) which serves as the host for ReMask. ReMask works great in PhotoLine as a plugin, and you can call PL from Lightroom and then run ReMask through PhotoLine. Geoff, I use both Topaz Labs ReMask and onOne Software's Perfect MASK. Second, PhotoLine is not a good option for masking/selection tasks because it has fallen behind in this area, and the "smart brush" concept now used in several other applications, including plugins, is faster and more accurate than PhotoLine's approach.īut as long as you have an alternative editor or plugin to run in PL for complex masking, PhotoLine remains an excellent choice as Lightroom's external editor. It would be good if PL coding would allow processing of PSD files from Lightroom and then return them with layers intact. There are at least a couple of negatives to using PhotoLine for this purpose, however.įirst, the layers in PhotoLine must be flattened before returning to Lightroom. In addition, PL is about 500+ USD cheaper than purchasing the bloated PS for external Lightroom photo editing. Most of the PL tools and the modern 8bf plugins run in PhotoLine are fast and efficient. in PL, then save, and the edited image returns to Lightroom. Do your work with layers, blending, plugins, etc. After assignment, just select an image and Lightroom sends it to PhotoLine as a TIF. In my opinion, this is good news for PhotoLine because PL works seamlessly as an external editor for Lr. Of course, Photoshop is the default editor if you have it, but other external editors can be assigned. ![]() No offense, but I find it funny you own 3 third-party masking plugins.Even though there are other alternatives, a significant number of photographers using digital cameras have adopted Adobe Lightroom for non-destructive editing of raw files and digital asset management. I'm sure you can construct macros based on the plugins as well. The other batch can be done by creating a macro that selects white at coordinates (0,0) or within a safe zone.Īnd honestly, Photoshop's base masking tools are mostly excellent for this kind of operation. If you have a giant batch of 100 images of similar properties (lets say 100 of them have a perfectly white fill, but some objects have white areas in the center.) I'd weed out the images that have something white in the object you want to mask out, fill those image backgrounds with some alternative pure color (lets say red), make a macro that selects that color at coordinates (0,0) or within a safe zone and export that batch separate. It'd actually make a nice addition to FF's library of nodes. Fill would need to look for open gaps and bridges. You can potentially achieve filling effects via script. There's no "fill" method in FilterForge aside from processing the whole image. You can construct mask layers but I don't think it'd be flexible as doing it manually, provided you're bound to have images that don't share similarities. ![]()
