Image Masking solution

Image masking is a popular technique used widely in the editing and manipulation of commercial images, applied in both models and product photography. In e-commerce sites, most consumers prefer to see the product against a white background. But on photos where the subject has hair or fur, removing the background can be a cumbersome task. Clients can now save countless hours in the editing process with professional image masking services.

Our team of photo editors works diligently with complete attention to detail while removing the background from images, without disturbing the soft and thin edges of hair or fur. The process is meticulous, and needs lots of patience and skill. Clipping path services are not reliable for image masking purposes because the finer strands of hair or fur cannot be captured in a single path. Advanced Photoshop techniques are used to account for each individual strand of hair or fur in the finished image.

If you’re looking for high-quality image background removal services, then India is the perfect destination for you.

What are image masking services?

These days, a lot of publishing houses, ecommerce organizations, and advertising companies ask for image masking services as part of their pre-production work. Since these businesses are rather fragile by nature there needs to be intense attention to subjects and products, especially their images. This is where the aforementioned services can play such a crucial role. One of the best advantages of these services is their cost efficiency despite maintaining a high level of quality in the final output. Professional image mask creation services can help save a lot of time of the clients and meet their requirements at the same time.

Image masking service isolates parts of a photo – such as its background – from the rest of it in cases when the image has undefined or blurred edges. The latest picture masking techniques are used in these cases to detach and eliminate objects from entire images. Adobe Photoshop is the most preferred source of the techniques that are used in such work because it can offer something or the other for all criteria and images.

Types of image masking services

Photo masking services are divided into various categories such as basic or simple photo masking, medium photo masking, difficult photo masking, and complex photo masking. 

Basic photo masking, also referred to as simple photo masking, is a common hair masking service when you come to think of it. They are normally used in non-transparent images that have straight and simple curves because those images need such masking. These images do not need over 10 minutes of hand-drawn photo masking to be completed. It is also rather trouble-free and simple for the background to be removed from such images. 

Medium photo masking is used in the case of images with sharp edges and different curves. The commonest examples of such images are beer and wine glasses. You also need to put in quite a lot of effort in terms of handling the transparency in these cases as well. 

Difficult photo masking techniques are used when you are dealing with items that have various undefined and sharp edges like hair, smoke, fur, flame, and feathers, to name a few. Such photo clipping path services could take around an hour or two to be completed.  

It takes a lot of time to mask a complex image and it puts a lot of strain on you as well. In fact, at times, such images can take anywhere between two and three hours to be masked properly. These techniques are normally used for masking fur and hair along with semi-translucent or semi-transparent images such as the following:

  • glasses
  • feathers
  • smoke
  • flames
  • lightning
  • clothes

How it works

In such clipping path services, parts of an image are extracted from it when the remainder is blurred or undefined at the edges. The most important techniques in this case are layer masking, channel masking, and Photoshop extraction. No matter what kind of work you are getting done in this regard you need the most hardworking artists who are willing to put their heart and soul into such work so that it can be done the best.
