Genuine Fractals and Genuine Fractals Print Pro

Genuine Fractals comes in two editions — Professional and Standard. Both editions offer you the award-winning patented image resizing algorithm that Genuine Fractals is famous for and will provide you with the best results possible when resizing a digital image in Photoshop. This isn't just advertising hype — I use the product and regularly make huge resizes. And they really deliver on what they claim. The key difference between Genuine Fractals and Genuine Fractals Print Pro is the Print Pro version offers you native support for resizing CMYK files allowing you to remain in a CMYK color-managed workflow. If you work in the print industry and need to resize a digital image without changing color spaces, Genuine Fractals 5 Print Pro is for you. If you print to an ink jet printer and work in sRGB, Adobe RGB, or the Pro Photo color workspaces, the Standard Edition of Genuine Fractals 5 is for you.

Mask Pro
Mask Pro is the award-winning plugin for masking in Photoshop. The latest version supports masking 8-bit and 16-bit digital images in both Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS3. Several new "Show Me How" video tutorials are built directly into Mask Pro so you can get visual training quickly. No other masking or selection tool gives you the professional level results like Mask Pro.
Mask Pro includes the following features...
- Complete Collection of Masking Tools: Included are tools such as the Magic Brush which will remove colors while maintaining transparency as well as touch up tools like the Chisel which will help you get the edges of your image perfect without any edge halos at all. Each tool includes a palette where you can quickly and easily adjust the tool settings.
- Masking Hair and Transparent Objects: Mask Pro works differently by using color instead of edges. This allows it to easily create a mask that preserves the details you want and even removes unwanted ambient color contamination caused by reflections and transparency.
- No Edge Halos: With the color decontamination enabled, background colors are removed from the edges the of the foreground subject. The edges of the foreground subject are maintained but are now semi-transparent because only the background colors have been removed from those edge pixels.
- Preview Masking Results in Real-Time: You can see your results and the quality of your mask as you create it.

FocalPoint
The use of selective focus has been part of photography since the very first lenses where invented. There are many techniques used to control either the plane of focus or removing sharpness from edges. The most common way to do this is by controlling depth of field in the camera by using a large aperture lens producing a narrow depth of field. Now photographers have a new Photoshop plugin to help put the focus where they want — the all new FocalPoint.
