Hello, fellow photographers. I’m Dan Harlacher from ON1, the creators of some amazing photography apps and plugins! I’m excited to show you the new Quick Mask AI tool in ON1 Photo RAW 2024.5. This tool is incredibly powerful and makes background replacements super simple. To illustrate its capabilities, I’ll walk you through three examples, from simple to complex. I also created this short video outlining each of these steps!
Let’s start with a straightforward example—a bird photo. The original background is dull and shot in low light, resulting in a noisy image. Here’s the step-by-step process to enhance and replace the background:
I worked with a studio shot against a neutral backdrop for a more complex scenario.
Here’s the approach:
Initial Adjustments: I cropped out unwanted elements, like a soft box in the corner. Layering a New Background: I added a new studio backdrop, flipped it to match the lighting, and scaled it to fit. Blending Backgrounds: Using Quick Mask AI, I masked out the original background but retained the shadows and the floor’s shape by reducing the mask’s opacity. This blended the new backdrop seamlessly with the original, maintaining a realistic look.The third example involves a challenging shot with a bright blue background that reflects onto the subject’s metallic necklace and skin.
Here’s how I tackled it:
Exposure Adjustment: I lowered the exposure to correct the image’s brightness. New Background Addition: I selected a new background and used the Transform tool to scale and position it.These examples highlight the incredible versatility and power of the Quick Mask AI tool in ON1 Photo RAW 2024.5. Whether dealing with simple or complex scenarios, this tool makes background replacements and composites much easier.
