Re: Knock Out (corel) or Mask Pro(extensis)

hi

i have knockout 2 and tried to follow the tutorials using my own pictures as the image, but im not having very good results

i find it difficult to trace around the image, when as soon as i let go of the pencil, it creates the selection before i am ready - and additionally, i have to have the zoom set to view the whole picture on the screen at once, which makes fine accuracy impossible

i also found that the "auto-outer selection" function simply didnt work, it barely moved the selection line at all which meant that i then had to draw the outer selection as well

the results were much less than perfect - i am very familiar with photoshop and the extract filter is my friend LOL, but i find it a little insensitive

i have heard that knockout 2 is good - the photoshop 7 WOW book swears by it - but i must be doing something wrong - can anyone please help me?

I am not trying to be a smarty pants. It might be I am incompetant at using the srynge tool but I do a lot better using Photoshop's channels to perform delicate extractions than Knockout 2 or the Extract tool. The Extract tool is certainly easy though. I thought Knockout was going to do miracles for me but I find it more frustrating than its worth.
