The filter SF Maskerade serves for creating luminance masks, color masks, saturation masks, edge masks and contrast masks. You can also extract channels, select colors very precise in consideration of saturation and lightness, select only the black, white and gray tones of an image, transform photos into stroke pictures and much more. Finally you get the result (optionally inverted or blurred) as gray tone mask or converted into the transparency of the layer. New in this version: Supports 16 bit images, photoshop actions and scripts. Allows combining of masks.
