This stuff is so cool. Now we just have to concentrate on using it wisely and not so obviously.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm really excited about this one too.

Looks great.

One questions though, once you have clicked OK, will you be able to go back and refine it again as in v1 or will the interface window be your working environment?

If this new window is the work space what sort of undo's will one have and do they rely on the history palette?

Yeah I know, too excited to wait!

For this one, all you have to do is click Refine mask and the mask instantly shows up in the interface. You don't even exit from ReMask. Just keep refining, and only when you're satisfied you go back to Photoshop.

Can anyone help me......when I try to use Remask...each and every time when I get to the end...it says
"proc-engine error 1000".
I am only processing jpegs not larger files. I tried only allocating a small portion of my RAM to photoshop and that did not work either.
My computer was just overhauled and cleaned and is running well.
Any ideas???

See here: How do I fix a procEngine -1000 or -878 error in ReMask? - Topaz Labs - Knowledge Base Also, ReMask 2 will solve this problem.

Number one priority for me is that it is more stable. I rarely got the original to work without PS crashing. It is very frustrating to spend the time making a mask only to find that the time was wasted.

ReMask 2 will use its own memory rather than Photoshop's so it should be a lot more stable.

Thanks all!

Hey- this is great news! Been waiting for the PSP support. I'm ready to buy ... :-) Is there a PSP beta to try until Remask 2 is ready for shipping?

Very cool. I'm very excited. I use remask quite a bit and look forward to the new interface.

Looks great....can't wait.....is Lightroom part of the picture?

If it operates as advertised, I think I will be extremely pleased with this upgrade. The user interface has come closer to what I feel is an intuitive approach to the problem. Looking at a masking situation, we immediately know what we want to keep, what we want to remove and which areas are going to give us the most trouble. So why not start by identifying these areas for the software? Then leave it up the the algorithm writers to do their thing. Bring it on!

All well and good, but will it be compatible with Photoshop Elements 6 and 8 (Mac)

[Eric Yang]

ReMask 2 will be compatible with Paint Shop Pro and Elements Mac and Windows. Do you need Aperture or Lightroom support for a masking tool? (that's not a rhetorical question. If you do speak up so we know!)

Great..... I keep getting mixed up with the first version with which direction to go with it. this will be simpler. Actually, I haven't been able to get it to work as well as I'd hoped. Quite a bit of mask cleanup sometimes. We'll see what the new one does.
