Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
KnockOut 2 is a fast and powerful masking tool plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and Painter 7 that helps graphics professionals mask complex or detailed objects to create high-end photo composites. Complex masking, especially masking irregular or transparent edges, can be a slow, laborious process that reduces graphics professionals productivity and limits their creativity. While most image-editing applications contain some sort of masking functionality, few tools exist that let users mask complex, detailed images both quickly and easily, while still retaining all of the properties of the original image. KnockOut 2 addresses this problem by giving graphics professionals the functionality they need to mask virtually any object and create stunning composites with masked images that are identical to the original images. KnockOut 2 simply and quickly raises the quality of photo composites, while dramatically increasing user productivity. Because it uses complex algorithms to mask objects, KnockOut 2 lets users mask detailed objects, such as hair, smoke, water, glass and shadows, in a fraction of the time. Combined with a variety of new and enhanced features, KnockOut 2 gives graphics professionals functionality that exceeds the masking tools in standard imaging applications. KnockOut 2 has a number of tools that make separating the foreground object from the background significantly less time-consuming than traditional masking techniques. Users can easily select objects for masking in a digital photo by using the Inside Object and Outside Object tools; the Inside Shadow and Outside Shadow tools; the Inside Syringe tool; and the Edge Feather tool. These tools allow users to produce soft transitions around foreground edges and remove all traces of the visible background. This creates images that can be used for creating clean composites with no residual background from the original photos. As a plug-in, KnockOut 2 integrates seamlessly into any workflow. It is intuitive and designed specifically to serve as a masking tool for users already familiar with Adobe Photoshop. To this end, it features a similar user interface (UI) as well as similar shortcut keys. KnockOut 2 is built for Mac OS X and features the new Aqua interface.

4.0 out of 5 stars Corel Knockout 2.0, 5 Jul 2005
By A Customer
I have since found out that version 1.5 is a stand alone program and I could not transfere the layers in to Photoshop. However version 2.0 is a plugin and is not a program that runs on its own.
Very effective - knockouts subjects from the background keeping all detail including strands of hair - does a better job than the extract tool in photoshop, so it is great as a plugin so that it can be used just like any of the other filters.

1.0 out of 5 stars KnockOut has incompatibilities with Tiger, 23 Sep 2005
By A Customer
I've tried to use KnockOut 2 as a PS CS plugin, but find it won't add to selection beyond a certain point - which is INCREDIBLY frustrating, and a total waste of time. I asked for support on several occasions, and after waiting a week (as opposed to their 1 business day claim), got this response, and they marked my support issue as 'Solved'. I'm now after a refund as it's not fit for the purpose it was sold.

"Corel has received sporadic reports of a functionality issue with KnockOut 2.0 while running on MAC OS 10.4. Our investigation indicates that the issue may be specific to certain hardware/software configurations, however the problem is not reproducible in testing. There is currently no technical workaround to resolve this issue, however our technical support department continues to investigate the phenomenon. When a resolution becomes available, Corel will publish a relevant document in our online knowledgebase (http://support.corel.com). "

Please note that Corel will only refund if you bought the software directly from them. If you buy it here from Amazon and it doesn't work for you, you'd have to get a refund through Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Corel Knockout, 24 April 2005
By Mr M Galea (Bolton United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Great piece of software for removing an object from a background and replacing with a different background. It can even cope with flyaway hair and transparent objects like a glass. It is a stand alone program however, and is NOT a plug-in for other image proceesing software like Photoshop.
