Electric or telephone wires are the most irritating things in the city landscape pictures. Narrow black strips across the sky or ancient building can easily ruin all effect of a beautifull shot. And cleaning the photo from them normally requires patience and skills. So we’ve decided to make a tool that will make this task as easy as possible. It is called Instant Wire Cleaner.
This video shows how to remove a background from the picture and replace it with the new one. You will learn how to use foreground/background markers, selection preview, foreground/background brushes for result correction, new background selection.
Here is the text transcript:
Hello!
I’m Victor Zaguskin from clipping-path-studio.com and today I’ll show you how you can remove a background from a picture and replace it with a new one. We’ll use a program InstantMask Pro from clipping-path-studio.com to do it.
As a first step, we need to mark the areas of foreground and background. A green marker marks the parts of the image we need and the red one marks the parts we don’t need. It is quick and simple.
The button we click now is a selection preview. The green color highlights our object and the red one shows the background parts. There are couple incorrect guesses, so we add more marks before we can move on.
Now we can go to the preview mode. We see that there is some more work to do. Now we are going to use the tools called Foreground and Background brush. The first one turns the area into the foreground and the second makes it background. They actually do the opposite things, so if you make a mistake you can use the second brush to undo first and vice versa.
Now let’s see what we can do with the background. First, we can make it transparent.
Second, we can select a solid color, for example red.
Third, we can select a semi-transparent color, specifying the alpha channel value.
There is one more option. It is possible to use another picture as a background to make a collage. We open this view of London and scale it with background zoom button. Now we can use a hand tool to position a man where we want.
Basically, that’s it. Now we just need to save our work. We open the export dialog and type the file name. Now we press OK and we are done!
Thank you very much for watching! Now you can go to clipping-path-studio.com and download Instantmask Pro!
See you there and have a nice day!

Hello!
Today we are announcing a new version of our advanced background removing program – InstantMask Pro 2.0. It let’s you easily remove background from a photo even when the background is non-uniform like forest, city or nature. You can also insert a new background of your choice(color, transparent, transparent color, picture) and make a collage. Here is the list of new features of version 2.0: 1. Edge smoothing. After background is automatically removed, edges could look hard. To avoid that a special optional edge smoothing filter is used. 2. Soft brushes. Sometimes you need to post-edit your photo after the program does its work. To make this process more pleasant we introduced soft round brashes for removing foreground or background locally. You can configure the brush size and softness in the Options menu. 3. Faster work for Hand tool and background scaling – they are now perfectly fast and responsive even on largest images and usual computers.
Hope you are having a great day. Todays video will show you how to remove background from photo with InstantMask Pro.
Here it goes:
The video above shows you how you can do the basic actions in instant Mask Pro – mark the foreground and background, preview how program will isolate your object and correct necessary parts and see the final object on a white background.

1. Easily remove background from a picture without much hand drawing.
2. Choose the color of a new background – white, transparent or any color of your choice with transparency support(alpha-channel).
3. Make a collage. You can specify another picture as a background. The program has special tools to move your picture along tye background or scale it respectively so it fits in well.
