FEATURES- Knockout 2- Full version
For Windows and Macintosh
When it comes to complex masking, you won't find anything more
powerful than Corel KnockOut 2. Built as a plug-in for Adobe
Photoshop, Corel PHOTO-PAINT and Painter 7, it lets you retain the
finest image details, including hair, smoke, liquid, fire, glass
and shadows. And it does it with more speed and accuracy than any
other masking technique.
If you've made Adobe Photoshop a key part of your tool set, Corel
KnockOut 2 is an ideal fit. With shortcut keys, menus and commands
like those in Adobe Photoshop, it slides right into your workflow.
It's also designed for Mac OS X, runs on Mac OS 8.6 to 9.1 and is
available for Windows?, which gives you the freedom to work on the
platform of your choice.
Designed for Mac OS X, Corel KnockOut 2 now features new touchup
tools and support for CMYK!
* New Zoom tool - gain greater control and flexibility by zooming in on an
image at predefined zoom levels using a drop-down list.
* New Aqua interface and Mac OS X design (for Macintosh users only) - take
advantage of this powerful new interface. Corel KnockOut 2 is built to
run natively on Mac OS X and features the intuitive Aqua interface.
* New multiple Undo/Redo - go back to different stages of your work
instead of starting from scratch, with up to 99 levels of Undo/Redo.
Specify how many Undo and Redo levels you require, and select which
shortcut keys you prefer to use for Redo.
* New Polygonal Line tool - mask large, complex images more easily by
using the polygonal mode to define the selection by points or freehand.
* New reduced memory requirements - save disk space without sacrificing
functionality, and enhance the ease with which Corel KnockOut 2
integrates into your existing tool set.
* Improved user guide, online documentation and tutorials - get started
quickly and easily.
* New Revert File option - revert to an image's earlier or original state
whenever you want to discard numerous unwanted changes. If an image has
never been saved, Corel KnockOut 2 will retrieve the image from the host
application or file and discard the current image. If an image has
previously been saved, Corel KnockOut 2 will revert to the last saved
state and discard the current image.
* New CMYK File option - work with CMYK images, ensuring that KnockOut 2
can easily fit into any workflow.
* Enhanced shortcut keys and streamlined workflow - enjoy enhanced ease of
use and reduce the learning curve, with shortcut keys, UI menus and
commands that are similar to those in Adobe Photoshop. This allows
graphics professionals to streamline their workflow and work in the
manner to which they are most accustomed.
* New Touchup tools - perform fine corrections to masked images with the
new Brush and Eraser tools, ensuring that the images in your composites
are virtually indistinguishable.
* New Property Bar - take advantage of quick access to commonly used
controls. Auto Outside Object, for example, lets you automatically
create an outside selection after having created an inside selection on
the image.
* Live color swatch - point to an area of an image with the Inside Syringe
tool, and a circle beside the syringe cursor (the color swatch) displays
the color under the tip of the syringe cursor. When you insert a syringe
color, the color swatch displays the color to be inserted.
* Automatic error correction - avoid costly or time-consuming mistakes
before they happen. Corel KnockOut2 automatically recognizes errors in
selections and does not permit you to make selections that will cause
errors. For example, if you have created an inside selection and then
draw an outside selection that intersects with the inside selection,
Corel KnockOut 2 will correct the selection by moving it away from the
first selection boundary by a specified number of pixels. If working
with the Pushpin or Tweezers, Corel KnockOut 2 will display a different
cursor and will not allow the action to be performed.
* Background insert - insert Adobe Photoshop, JPEG, Macintosh PICT and
TIFF images as a background after processing the foreground of an image.
Corel KnockOut 2 also includes a library of images that can be inserted,
or you can import your own images.
* Inside Object and Outside Object tools - use the Inside Object tool to
draw the marquee selection lines that define the color in the interior
of the transition area or the foreground object, and use the Outside
Object tool to draw the lines that define the color in the background of
the transition area. Holding down the Command key turns the Inside
Object and Outside Object tools into the Pushpin and Tweezers tools
respectively, for selection areas too small for the standard marquee
lines.
* Inside Shadow and Outside Shadow tools - preserve the transparency and
realism of shadows and highlights by drawing the lines that define the
interior and exterior of a shadow.
* Inside Syringe tool - sample the interior colors of an object when it is
not possible to define the foreground or background of an object with
the Inside Object or Outside Object tools.
* Edge Feather tool - create edge transitions when the foreground and
background colors of an object are so similar that the transition area
cannot be identified.
* Info Palette - display the XY coordinates and the RGB or CMYK values for
the pixel under the pointer.
* Transition Complexity - utilize four settings to describe the amount of
detail in the foreground and background area of an image, and create a
more precise mask by choosing the setting that is appropriate for the
image.
* Underlay Color Palette - see your masked image on different colored
backgrounds by displaying the foreground of a processed image against
various colors.
