            <title>ImageSkill Background Remover - the simplest way for object extraction from your photos all over the world</title>
            <description>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;ImageSkill is pleased to announce version 3.1 of 
							Background Remover plug-in for Windows with an improved feature and multi-language interface (English,	German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian,Japanese, Chinese Simplified, and Chinese Traditional). The main goal of the Background Remover is to extract object from  textured background.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;It fast and easily extracts opaque and semitransparent objects from a complex background of a digital image while preserving edge detail, such as hair or blurred edges. You only need to mark very roughly an object and background and choose the cutting out tool from a toolbar. Object extraction is achieved in a shorter amount of time than using competitive tools and techniques.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.imageskill.com/backgroundremover/br_box_ml.jpg" width="340" height="230" style="padding: 10; border-color: #FFC300" hspace="8" align="none"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Features at glance&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Extraction of different object types (solid, lace-like and semi-transparent objects)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Very simple and intuitive user interface with only a few controls&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Original high-speed extraction algorithms&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Color unmixing for background replacing&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Tools for debris removing and holes filling within received mask&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Switching between original image and result one and preview the extracted object against a colored matte background for result checking.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; Multilingual interface (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Chinese Simplified, and Chinese Traditional)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt; 16-bit image support&lt;/li&gt;

            <title>ImageSkill: Magic Sharpener v. 1.5 and competitive plug-ins</title>
            <description>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;We would strongly recommend you look at the excellent article about sharpening tool comparison written by Hugo Rodriguez (&lt;a href="http://www.hugorodriguez.com"&gt;http://www.hugorodriguez.com&lt;/a&gt;). He is a pro photographer and works as a photo technique professor at GrisArt school of photography, and as a digital image / color management consultant at EGM Pro labs at Barcelona, Spain. We hope you enjoy this article. It is the most comprehensive and professionally done comparison of the modern sharpness plug-ins and filters we have ever seen. Originally it was written in Spanish.&lt;/p&gt;
