In this tutorial, Warren Keller, Telescope Live Tutor and Co-Founder of Masters of PixInsight, introduces the FAME (Flexible Area Mask Editor) script by Frank Marek, a versatile tool for creating masks in PixInsight. Warren compares FAME to other popular scripts and emphasizes its Photoshop-like ease of use. Key features discussed include:

Intuitive Mask Creation:
- Use freehand and elliptical selection tools, similar to Photoshop’s Lasso tool, to quickly draw and modify masks. Adjust and rotate selections with ease.

Mask Types and Options:
- Generate binary masks for precise edits or lightness masks for natural image gradation. Warren also explores feathering settings to soften mask edges.

Practical Applications:
- Apply masks to target specific areas of your image, enhancing or protecting details as needed. Warren shares tips for achieving optimal results using PixInsight’s convolution tool for extra feathering.
