Preserve the transparency of shadows and highlights to create truly realistic images. Select image elements that were previously impossible to capture including hair. Retain the fine details of transparent objects such as fire, glass, and ice. If the image was previously saved, KnockOut 2 will revert to the last saved state If the image has never been saved, KnockOut 2 will retrieve it from the host application or file and discard the current image. New! Revert File options: return to an earlier version of an image whenever you want to discard unwanted changes. New! Designed for Mac OS X: KnockOut 2 is designed to run natively on Mac OS X and features the intuitive new Aqua interface.

Enhanced! Adobe Photoshop compatibility: as an Adobe Photoshop plug-in, KnockOut 2 features shortcut keys, menus, and commands similar to those in Adobe Photoshop. 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’s appropriate for the image.
Enhanced! Polygonal Line tool: mask large, complex images faster and more easily by using the polygonal mode to define your selection by points or freehand. New! Touchup tools: perform detailed corrections to masked images with the brush and eraser tools, ensuring your cleaned-up images are virtually indistinguishable from the originals. New! Zoom tool: gain greater control and flexibility by zooming in on an image at predefined zoom levels using a drop-down list. This new feature helps ensure that KnockOut 2 fits into any workflow New! CMYK color support: work directly with CMYK images instead of converting to RGB and losing color accuracy. An ideal plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, or Painter 8, KnockOut 2 fits seamlessly into your workflow. KnockOut 2 speeds up the design process and dramatically increases the quality of your photo composites by letting you preserve fine image details that were once impossible to mask precisely.
