Mask Pro is a program that is mainly used to remove objects like people from backgrounds so that you can replace the background with something else (for example, removing a person from a white backdrop and replacing the background with a graphic).

If not, masking is a process in Photoshop that can be used to remove unwanted parts or reveal wanted parts of an image using layers.

This is one of those programs that doesn’t really even need instructions, it’s very intuitive and easy to use right from the start. onOne’s unique “Focus Bug” makes adjusting the outcome of the image incredibly fast and efficient.

It can be used to selectively draw the viewers eye into a certain part of the image, while concealing or hiding distracting parts of the background or foreground. This program can emulate the effects of a fast aperture lens, lens baby or even a tilt-shift lens.
