What is Image Masking?
Photo masking is a special kind of photo editing strategy that is applied to various types of images. A clipping path is normally used for background removal, but if the image has some complex soft outlines, edges or small little turns, and curves then the masking is needed.
When your images have smoke or human hair, glasses, fur, feathers, highlights, flames, lighting, chiffon, and blanket on it. In these situations, your images need to be selected with much more detail and for greater accuracy, Photoshop masking is applied.
Who Need Image Masking
Image masking are mostly needed for online fashion shop, fashion photographer, pet photographer to background removal, model background removal. Thus the online image editing can improve the business authenticity and increase sales. In recent days, the image masking industry has seen a huge growth in the photo masking industry worldwide.
Masking Categories
There are different types based on your photo object, such as hair masking, fur masking, shadow masking, etc. In real photos using Photoshop software, we can apply it with different layers of an image. Based on Photoshop image masking operation, the most applied masking types are as follows:
Layer Masking
The basic masking process in Photoshop software is generally known as layer masking. In layer masking, it can hide or expose portions of the images or it can change the opaqueness of the various portions of an image using masking techniques. The image opacity can be changed by using the layer masking opacity slider panel. When we are applying the layer masking, there is an option to change the visibility of the layer. Finally, it can make any portion completely invisible or partially visible by using this masking panel.
Photoshop Clipping Masking
The next to layer masking is the Clipping masks where one layer to determine the visibility or transparency of another layer. In the clipping mask process, we can place a layer at the bottom of the layer panel that we want to apply the clearness of the image. From this bottom layer, it is easy to control the visibility of the layer above.
Color Masking
Color masking is a way to edit random colors by applying masks that limit the range of displayed colors to specific shades. Color masking provides us a full control of updating pixel values on the image. By selecting the appropriate color channels those are written by each drawing command. Experienced graphic designers can use each channel, to store a different color scale image.
Here you have an option to use the RGB components for color selection, but the alpha components for your image customization. At Clippingsolutionsindia, we have more than 10 years of experience in image editing and graphics designing. Therefore, you can rely on us without a second thought.
Channel Masking
Channel masking is another popular image masking technique to remove background from complex objects where the simple cut-out method cannot be applied. Alpha channel masking is the easy way of correcting the brightness, color, contrast, or exposure of the image object. Which is applied after background removal is complete.
Not all images require the same type of masking. The alpha channel masking is a little bit complex when compared with other types of masking. The layer masking and the clipping masking are fairly simple. But when we need to mask out the hair and furry areas, it takes a lot of time to select those areas with just the brush strokes. If the object and the background have a sufficient amount of contrast, the alpha channel masking technique will be much easier to apply.
Fur or Hair Masking
Fur or hair masking is another widely used image masking, which we provide for our clients. Hair and fur have soft edges. Normally it is difficult to separate these tiny fur objects through the selection tool. Image masking is the best technique that we can apply to remove the subtle objects having edges from the image background. Thus, you can rely on our quality hair masking.
Refine Edge Masking
Refine edge masking is needed When some inconsistency near the edges appears at the time of changing the background. Thus when we superimpose any element on a changing background it is required to have a natural look and feel using the refine edge masking technique in Adobe Photoshop.
Transparent Photo Masking
Background removal from transparent images is a bit complex. When images are transparent it can see through the image objects such as water, glass, and eye spectacles. Thus, it is required to remove the inconsistency from the transparent portion of the object and make it look more natural. In Transparent or Translucent masking, it is important to endure the transparency of an object. This will allow us to any background image and color visible through the image object.
Translucent Object Masking
We can partially see through a translucent object which is less visible than a transparent object. Normally, it is a complex task to remove background from translucent products such as sunglasses, vegetable oil, wax, and frosted glass.
Collage Masking
Photoshop Collage Masking allows us to remove the backdrop of an image. This masking technique is used in marketing materials such as brochures, leaflets, online portals, catalogs, and so on. However, collage masking required much more post-processing and photo editing tasks than conventional image masking. A collection of photo editing tools and techniques of Photoshop are used to create collage masking. Thus it provides the panoramic view of a collection of images.
