The Mask Integrator is a tool that lets you extract the objects you photograph already while you are shooting them if you work with the following applications:
- Freemask or Freemask 1000 by Hensel
- Other systems that can alternate two flash groups automatically (basic and backlight)
- Manual alternation of two flash groups (Disadvantage: you can only photograph stationary objects)

The Mask Integrator offers the following features:
- Automated recognition and loading of new pictures whenever you connect your camera to your computer
- Mask optimization of blacks and whites
- Automated removal of shading elements on the edge of pictures
- Use brushes to correct the shape of a mask
- View the extracted object while shooting in front of white, black, transparent or a background of your choice
- Scale and position your extracted objects in front of your backgrounds
- The scaling, placement and refinement of your masks remain unaltered throughout the entire session
- Paging through the masked images and the backgrounds
- Fine adjustment between the image and the mask (especially for Freemask and Freemask 1000)
- Save one extracted image or even an entire folder containing many extracted images at the click of one button

There are pros and cons to the various methods of extracting and there are some tricks you should have in mind while photographing. You certainly get the highest quality masks with Hensels Freemask or a similar system. This is where the Mask Integrator comes into play. With the standard Freemask system you are limited to the continuous shutter speed and your subjects or models must be as still as possible. With Freemask 1000 you can freeze even waving hair and isolate and extract them automatically with the Mask Integrator.

These are the resulting applications of the Mask Integrator:
- Very quick masking of complex subjects or motifs when working with Freemask or a similar system
- When you shoot certain motifs for a particular background you can scale and place them correctly and display them while you are shooting which helps you concentrate on the correct perspective, the lighting and the relation between foreground and background
- If you have to shoot a lot of products in a batch the Mask Integrator can mask them during the shoot and place them before a white background
- Very fast tuning of Freemask 1000
