AKVIS SmartMask AI offers two innovative selection features which use specially trained neural networks: the Select Subject filter in the Control Panel and the Object Selection tool in the Toolbar.
Select Subject . When you click the button in the Control Panel, a precise selection of the most noticeable subject (or several) in an image will be automatically created.
Object Selection (A-key). This tool is designed to select any object in an image using a specially trained neural network. It's helpful when you need to separate an object from the other ones.
Enable the tool in the Toolbar, create an approximate selection around the object you want to select - a precise selection will be created after releasing the mouse button.
Tool's Parameters:
Selection Modes (in the form of icons) - logic operations, which determine the result of the interaction between selected areas.
New . When creating a new selection, the previous selection disappears.
Add (Shift-key). A new selection is added to the existing one by adding new fragments.
Subtract (Alt-key). A new selection is excluded from the selection area.
Intersect (Shift+Alt). Only the overlapping area of the selections remains on the image.
Selection Type. In the drop-down list, select a tool for creating a rough selection around the object: Rectangular Selection or Lasso.
Contrast. When the check-box is enabled, clearer selection borders are created.
In the Control Panel, click and choose a command (what you want to do with the selection): Remove Selected Areas, Remove Unselected Areas, Invert Selection, or Deselect.
You can edit the selection using the Magic Brush and post-processing tools.
