Best PRO masking solution?

Looking pro level masking plugin for Photoshop.
I was a beta tester for PShop 1.0. After many years as a retoucher, I still find the best masking workflow to be primarily derived from vector paths made to appropriately feathered layer masks, with contrast masks or hand painted masks for hair, fabric or other "fuzzy" edges.
Every third party masking solution I have tried required more cleanup time than I would typically invest in my more reliable methods. But perhaps things have improved since I Iast checked? I web searched for relaible reviews for third party masking plugins, but found mostly promotional boilerplate from vendors.
Any pro retouchers/photographers out there who can recommend a professionall level third party masking plugin?
Thanks!

I've done a fair number of "hairy" (high detail) photos on busy backgrounds, and the Refine Edge function still works, though sometimes with additional challenges (e.g., things that need to be hand-masked or hidden after).
Realistically, in order to do better than the software currently does, you almost have to imagine software that actually perceives the subject material - i.e., "knows" what the subject is, what hair is, etc.
FauxtoGuy, post an example (or part of one) that shows what you're dealing with, and I'm sure we can provide more detailed help.
Operating Refine Edge adeptly, and getting a feel for what to worry about and what to leave for hand-masking and tone blending after take some practice and finesse, but it's good stuff and it can really work.

    What is the best & cheap backup solution for a macpro laptop? easy & simple to use

    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components: 1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences; and, 2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    Synk Pro
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Single best external storage solution for Mac Pro & MacBook Pro ...?

    Hello,
    I'm still waiting for the Mac Pro delivery I have around me something like four external hard drives from different vendors and different sizes and all containing important data ... it is really a mess, cables, lack of redundancy, etc.
    I wanted to replace all these once and for all by a single elegant long-lasting and reliable solution to combine with my new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. The best I could find was OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 8.0TB containing four internal HDD in double RAID with multiple possible setups: RAID 0 and RAID 1, RAID 10 configurations:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEQX2T8.0S/
    Looks like an excellent choice for the only one external storage solution! does anyone has experience with this model? are there better contenders?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    Giovanni

    Giovanni,
    I have the OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 (6 TB) external HD array in a Raid 5 configuration (as received from OWC). I have found it to be excellent when connected to my Mac Pro using a PCI SATA card and the SATA output on the Elite-AL Pro Qx2. The speed of the system under Raid 5 easily supports all but uncompressed high definition video, and the system came with Prosoft's Data Backup software which does an excellent job of backing up other external drives installed on my Mac Pro.
    I highly recommend the Qx2 and think you will find it is a good single source solution to providing you with reliable and safe storage for your data. With Raid 5 if one of the HD's in the Qx2 fails, you simply remove it and allow the system to rebuild the data when you insert a new HD. Thus unless two HD's fail simultaneously (high unlikely) you are protected against data loss. Note also that your Mac Pro does not have to be left on while the Qx2 is rebuilding.

  • Our iphone 4 and iphone 3gs and mac pro all are never connecting. mistake buying an apple product which claims to be best. kindly provide solutions.

    kindly give answers

    First and foremost there are forums for iCloud and iOS as well as your iDevices.
    Try using those where you will find more detail and maybe get down to brass tacks and specifics.
    iOS 5 rollout was rough. So was iCloud. Always helps to wait though iOS 5.01 isn't perfect either.
    Same maybe goes and wait for iTunes 10.5.0.
    Kindly give answers??? what is that?
    I can pull answers out of the cloud? troubleshoot your modem, wifi and your setup? Pls.

  • MAc Pro Backup Solution ?

    Sorry did not know where else to post... I am going to need about a 1 TB backup solution that I can add on to. I will be using it with my Mac Pro and Time Machine just for backing up data, not for randomly accessing it for application work.
    1. Which is faster for backing up data?
    -USB
    -FireWire 800
    -Gigabit
    2. What success have you had for the product that are available on the market today (i.e. Time Capsule, Western Digital, etc...?)
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    1. Internal, FW800, USB, GB Ethernet in that order.
    2. I do my backups to internal drives in my Mac Pro. If you want an external system then I'd recommend building it yourself:

  • What's the best multi-monitor solution for macbook air?

    I am trying to create a 3 monitor setup for my MBAir 13" Late 2011, and also a 2-monitor setup for my wife's 2013 11" MB Air.  What is the best solution to accomplish this?  I have already narrowed down my monitor selection to the Dell Ultrasharp U2414H with the micro-bezel.
    What should I use to connect the laptops to the monitors?  Matrox Triplehead2Go DP edition?  Any experience would be greatly appreciated here!
    Thanks!
    Rich

    There are no good cheap solutions due to Macbook Air's only supporting thunderbolt 1 regardless of what your User Manual may say. U2414H is not capable of daisychaining on Macbook Airs', only 2013 Macbook Pros and later. Your Two choices are  Lg 34um95 and daisy chain those with thunderbolt cables or Apple's Thunderbolt display. If you dont care about quality of your second and third monitor external (meaning tearing and slow frame rates). Get a USB 3.0 to (HDMI or DVI) ( Your prefrecnce between HDMI and DVI (Make sure that the device you pick is Mac Compatible)) and a usb 3.0 hub with an AC outlet of preferably 12V, 5V may be too little. for your second and third external monitor and a thunderbolt to (HDMI or DVI) for the first monitor. USB 3.0 Does not have great video performance in viewing your screens. Watching Movies or Playing games using USB 3.0 will result in video tearing. I only recommend using the usb 3.0 adapter screens for Typing or web surfing.
    Basically
    1st external monitor( Fast Normal Framerates and no Video Tearing) <----Thunderbolt to HDMI/DVI adapter
    2nd and 3rd external Monitor ( Slow Framerates with Video Tearing)(USB 3.0 to HDMI/DVI) connected to USB 3.0 12V Adapter Hub connected to 1 macbook air usb 3.0 Port.

  • What's the best external backup solution for the 2011 MacBook Air?

    I'm really considering moving to a new 2011 13" MacBook Air for my primary machine and I'm curious to know what ya'll might suggest for the ideal backup solution.
    Currently I use a Firewire 800 drive with my MacBook Pro consisting of a Bootable OS backup, Media volume backup, Time Machine backup + blank volume for files.
    The current external options available —Thunderbolt release date anyone?—are: USB 2.0 and Time Capsule. Lately—and a first up until now—I've started thinking about potentialy moving my backup solution online. I'm curious if anyone has experience with an affordable, simple, online solution?
    Also, don't suppose any kind of storage solutions could utilize the SD card slot in any way?
    I look forward to hearing about your backup solutions!
    All the best,
    —Jordan

    Redundancy is more important than speed when it comes to backup.
    I like a have a clone of my internal drive to an external drive of the same size. If your internal drive fails you can boot from your external clone. I use SuperDuper!
    If your data is important to you, you should keep a backup off-site and have more than one backup set.
    Cloud storage is an option if you have fast broadband and small data volumes.
    I like the simplicity of Time Machine with Time Capsule for incremental and version backups.
    Rather than invest in Thunderbolt (expensive and fast), invest in redundancy (cheap, slow).

  • Best Backup / Archive Solution?

    I'm new to the forum discussions and was hoping someone could offer some advice as to the best and easiest back-up solution in my situation.
    I work for a company that does not have a back-up solution for the 1 G5 mac connected to their windows SBS network. Yes, this is insane because this mac contains thousands and thousands of graphic files that go back 10+ years or so and probably occupies 80GB+ of space too.
    The company has a graphic artist that uses this G5 daily creating more graphic files. I am looking for the best Automated back-up solution that doesn't require the user to manually start a back-up and have to wait for it to complete - especially since there is 80GB worth of files. I'm not really concerned with backing up applications or program files, but more concerned with archiving the graphic files. I've looked online at solutions such as rsync, disk image files, raid with 2nd hard drive, and back-up apps with external drives such as Carbon Copy or Super Duper but wanted to get some advice from experienced mac users that may have dealt with my same issue.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

  • Help with a Subnet mask solution?

    This is probably obvious to many of your network guys/gals - but I'm stumped - I'm looking for an easy solution to this.
    I have a Linksys wireless router WRT54GS - Comcast cable broadband - my MacBook wasn't staying connected to it so I plugged in my Airport Express to one of the Linksys ports via Ethernet and disabled the wireless on the Linksys.
    Bingo - no more connection problem - the Linksys handles the wired users and the Airport Express handles the wireless - except - I have a network drive connected to the Linksys via Ethernet that my wireless users can't "see" - I believe - because it's on a different subnet mask.
    Is there an easy way to "link" the two so my wireless users can see the wired network drive?
    THANKS!

    As both the Linksys and the AE act as normal switches with no routing functionality, you have one single subnet. So all you have to do is to make sure that all devices connected to the Linksys and the AE have an IP-address of that subnet and the same subnet mask.
    Most routers have a class C private network configured by default. Let's assume, you have 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0. If so, pick an IP-address out of the address range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 for each device and use 255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask. For other class C private networks use the according range.
    If you need to mix different class C networks (e.g. 192.168.0.x for your wired deviced and 192.168.1.x for your wireless devices) use a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 on all devices.
    Just for your understanding: when a machine A connects to a machine B, machine A takes it's own IP-address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and ANDs it bitwise with it's subnet address (e.g. 255.255.255.0 would result in 192.168.1.0). Next it does the same again, with machines B IP address and it's own subnet mask. If both results are the same, both machines are on the same subnet, so machine A tries to connect machine B directly. If not, the machines are on different subnet, so machine A tries to connect to machine B using it's configured default gateway.
    Hope this information helps at least a bit.
