Note: Topaz Mask AI is also included in the Topaz Creator Bundle. We recommend taking a little time to learn masking without a plugin. While Topaz Mask offers a unique masking system as a Photoshop plugin, we found that compared to Photoshop’s native tools it is not an improvement. This resulted in the overall score going from 3 stars to 3.5. This updated review increased the Masking Effectiveness from 2 stars to 3, and the Value from 1 star to 2. Overall though, the various changes did not move the needle much. There are several improvements to the user interface, and a few improvements in the masking results. Unfortunately it falls a bit flat when faced with any kind of low contrast issues.Īpril 2021 update: Topaz Labs has updated Mask AI and I have updated the Topaz Mask review below to reflect the changes.

Photoshop artists who are not be skilled at using Photoshop’s onboard masking tools may find this appealing. Topaz Mask uses a trimap system to help their AI compute a mask. In this review we’re going to compare Topaz Mask AI, with Photoshop’s Select and Mask. Let’s face it, Photoshop has come a LONG way with their masking tools over the past two years.
