![]() I’m talking about fine hair flying all over an indistinct background that almost matches the color of the hair. I’m not even talking about the girl’s hair above that’s easy, the hair color is distinct from the background and it can be accomplished with Photoshop’s Color Range technique. It is complicated I am talking here of course about masking fine hair against a backdrop that almost matches the color of the hair, not just trying to extract a well defined book from its very distinct background. In the right hands it can accomplish wonderful tasks.ĭon’t kid yourself masking is serious business. The point here that I want to make is that Fluid Mask 3 is a powerful application. There are still a few pixels that needed some retouching but I can deal with that later when my understanding of, and skill with, Fluid Mask shall have improved. Was it perfect? Not that perfect, but I’m happy with it. I was able to do a decent cut-out of the image that I wanted, and was happy with it. So I went back to work again on my messed up image, choosing to revert back to the original and started anew, this time following the hidden tutorials that featured a friendlier voice who sounded natural at teaching. These tutorials were on the Vertus website all along but were not mentioned on the main tutorials page (I wonder why). How I wish this guy (the voice in the tutorials) could teach like Scott Kelby!Īfter a couple of months, and as serendipity would have it, I stumbled upon a link via which mentions several tutorials on Fluid Mask. So I went back to the tutorials and searched for answers, but there was nothing there to improve on my attempts. If I was able to do some portions right but messed up the others, then certainly I was not doing the whole thing incorrectly? There were portions with very fine hair that I managed to extract wonderfully along with some blotted out portions where I managed to mess up with the Keep tools, Delete tools, Blend tools and the Patch tools. ![]() So, after three hours of intense attempts, going back to the tutorials especially on Hair Blending every so often, I gave up.īut what I noticed in my extracted image (the cut-out, as Fluid Mask calls it) encouraged me. And that part about Edge Blending in Patch Properties? It was just as clear as mud. It did not help either that my interface seemed a little different from the tutorials. It did not help, of course, that the voice instructing me in the video tutorials sounded robotic and cold (bless him!). I love technology and I’m not that bad at following imaging tutorials, but after several tries at Fluid Mask 3 following the online tutorials ( here) pointed to by Vertus I still could not manage to turn in a decent work. Now, I’m not a Luddite, my friend, or a klutz at imaging tutorials. Having test-driven the software provided me by Vertus (thanks, Zach Heath), I was made aware of its power and at the same time humbled by the experience, the way a half-hearted hunter is humbled by a big wild beast.Īfter a cursory look at the introductory tutorials, I went straight out at attempting to extract an image that included some hair, an ambitious undertaking as it turned out. ![]() Take normal regular breaths in through your mouth so that the medicine can go deep into your lungs.Ĭontinue until all of the medicine is gone from the cup.įor more demonstration videos and information on cleaning and caring for your nebulizer, visit the American Lung Association's website at /nebulizer.I strongly suspect that Fluid Mask 3 by Vertus is a very powerful and capable application for masking and cutting out images. ![]() Hold the nebulizer in an upright position to prevent spilling and to ensure the medication is correctly distributed.
