Photoshop Masks Quick & Easy
Cinematte for Macintosh Photoshop
The must-have PhotoShop plug-in is now available for the Mac, with all the features of the original plug-in - plus several important enhancements!
Cinematte is an advanced plug-in for PhotoShop that can automatically create masks and clipping paths using blue/green screen technology. Support for PhotoShop's Layers and Actions allows batch processing and multiple layers. The program allows blue or green screen background for input and can output layer masks, mattes, transparencies and keyed foregrounds.
Enhancements for the Macintosh version include tighter integration into PhotoShop, improved virtual memory handling for large images, and faster operation overall!
A Snap for Photographers
Photographers love Cinematte because it allows them to composite backgrounds in later to suit the client's needs. Cinematte's controls make creating mattes and transparencies simple.
A Must-Have for the Print Industry
Creating catalogs, brochures or flyers? Cinematte automates what used to be a laborious task of creating clipping paths. Now you can simply use Cinematte to generate a transparency and either use it directly to composite with background layers or turn it into a path with PhotoShop's Paths Palette!
Easy to Use
A PhotoShop standard interface, with friendly online help, lets you create transparencies easily and quickly. Simple, straightforward, and standard controls let you work in an integrated real time preview so you can see the results of your work instantly!
