If you use Photoshop as much as I do, the question is not "when" do you need a masking plugin, the question is "which one" to use. Akvis Smart Mask won this battle of the masking plugins hands down.

I tested OnOne Mask Pro, Vertus Fluid Mask, and the new Akvis Smart Mask v2.5.

All had similar features, with the exception of a few important items which I believe sets Akvis Smart Mask apart from the competition.

1. Memory - Akvis did not strip the life out of my MacBook Pro, as did the others over a period of time. When tested equally over a 30 minute period, Akvis was the only plugin which did not cause my MacBook Pro to run hot.

2. Quick and Clean Interface - I personally like the interface of Smart Mask much more so than the others. It loads quickly, it is easy to navigate, and it responds almost flawlessly.

3. Price - Again, Akvis Smart Mask wipes out the competition, no need to rub salt in the wounds of the others.

All in all this is one fine program which does what is says and more. Save yourself time, effort, and money... try it and buy it... thank me later.

AKVIS SmartMask plug-in is an efficient selection tool.

Making selections on images takes up much time. Use of AKVIS SmartMask plugin considerably increases your productivity and saves you time.

The tool makes the selection you want, understanding where the borders of the object end.

There are three modes tailored to different selection types: Sharp, Soft and Complex. The program even allows you to get rid of the color tint left on the cutout object by the environment. In most cases objects on a photo are not evenly lighted, the cutout object can have shades and colors reflected from the nearby objects. Such color shades can be absolutely inappropriate on a new background: for example, hair having a blue cast from the sky or a green shade from the trees, shadows of objects on the clothes. This mask tool helps to get rid of the unwanted color shades.

Now, you can spend less of your time on selection of objects and more of it on creativity.
