Uses the same patented Asiva technology in other Asiva software to
create natural and precise selections in Photoshop in a short
amount of time for 8 or 16-bit files.
Flexible control over selection is obtained by using adjustable maps (curves)
on the Hue, Saturation and Luminance components. Control the
roll-off on the maps to get completely natural selections.
Creates gradient selection.
Save and load presets for use with other images.
Built-in Color Sampler Tool allows for accurate sampling of the colors
in the image the selection is to be created from.
A simple interface and a thorough manual make for a sensible learning curve.
All 16-bit per component processing gives Pre-CS users the
ability to make 16-bit selection in a file without having to
create a duplicate 8-bit file and transferring a selection. The
larger your file is the more time you will save.
Scratch Settings or "memory dots" allow you to save five different
settings to switch back and forth from within a session.
Define the source colors you wish to select using the built
in Hue, Saturation and Luminance (HSV) curves or maps.
Sampling the colors in the area/s of an image you wish
to affect with the built in Color Sampler Tool is a simple
way of
selecting
these values. Adjusting and fine tuning the curves in the
maps allows you to include or exclude certain H or S or
V (Luminance)
values
selected. This will give you a very precise and natural
selection to work with.
The slope of the curves will define how the filter is transitioned.
A near vertical line on your Map will create sharply defined
boundaries between where the selection is applied and is
not, and a gently
sloped curve on the Map will make the boundaries less defined
or ‘feathered’.
Since there are three maps (Hue, Saturation and Luminance)
to work with, you will be able to 'feather' those boundaries
based on their Hue, Saturation or Luminance value differences.
Asiva's curves are so precise, that tedious masking becomes
unnecessary.
