Image Masking Services

Layer Masking

Layer masking helps us edit images nondestructively. After careful refinement and masking, we separate the subject from the background. This allows us to place the subject on any background color. If you wish to replace the color, you can simply request a transparent background (PNG Format).

Alpha channel Masking

The term “alpha channel” refers to a separate channel that stores the transparency information of an image. This method is powerful for capturing every detail of an object, even fine details like flying hair or wool. We handle it with professionalism and a manual touch.

Fur & Hair Masking

Fur & Hair Masking is an advanced photo editing task. We use multiple techniques to separate the object from the background. Selecting fur and hair using the pen tool is an impossible task; that’s why we employ image masking methods to achieve proper and accurate selections.

Color Masking

Color Masking technique is not only great for preventing any empty spaces in your pictures but also comes in handy for fixing colors after the fact. It all starts with using tiny pixels to add vibrant colors to specific parts of your image using Photoshop. Then, we fine-tune the contrast and brightness to make sure every click is picture-perfect.

Refine Edge Masking

We use the Refine Edges method specifically for selecting subjects with soft and smooth edges. First, we employ the pen tool to select the main area of the subject, and then we utilize the refine and quick selection tools to ensure that all the details are preserved while eliminating any unwanted edges.

Translucent Image Masking

Translucent Image Masking is a straightforward masking technique. It comes into play when dealing with products like frosted glass, sunglasses, tinted windows, and more. This method enhances your image’s visual appeal, giving it a professional and clean look.

What is image masking?

Image masking is a Photoshop technique used to separate a subject from its background, especially when dealing with complex elements like fur, wool, or flying hair. This method allows us to precisely isolate the subject, effectively detaching it from the surrounding environment.

For Photoshop image masking, we begin by using the pen tool to select the subject. Following that, we employ the background eraser tool, magic eraser tool, channel mask, and color separation techniques to achieve a flawless separation of the subject from the background.

Difference between Image Masking and Clipping Path

Image masking and clipping path are two distinct techniques used in photo editing, each serving unique purposes based on the complexity of the subject and desired outcome. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between these two methods:

Image Masking

Image masking is used when the subject has complex edges, such as hair, fur, or translucent objects. This technique allows for precise isolation of the subject from the background while preserving fine details. Image masking methods include layer masking, alpha channel masking, and transparency masking.

Advantages: 

  • Ideal for subjects with intricate or fine details.
  • Ensures a natural and realistic separation.
  • Smooth transitions between subject and background.

Choose Image Masking When: You have subjects with complex or soft edges, such as hair, fur, or transparent elements. Image masking ensures accurate isolation without sacrificing details.

Clipping Path

Clipping path is suitable for subjects with simple and well-defined edges. It involves creating a closed path around the subject using tools like the pen tool. The area inside the path is kept, while the area outside is removed.

Advantages:

  • Perfect for subjects with distinct shapes and clear edges.
  • Produces sharp and clean results.
  • Relatively straightforward process for simpler images.

Choose Clipping Path When: Your subject has clear and well-defined edges, making it suitable for simpler shapes. Clipping path provides precise cutouts and is efficient for images with straightforward outlines.
