Image Masking
Not all images can be perfectly cut out with simple clipping paths, especially those with fine details like hair, fur, or transparent objects. That’s where Image Masking comes in. Our service allows us to handle even the most intricate edges and backgrounds, ensuring your photos look natural and professional. Whether it’s apparel, jewelry, furniture, or lifestyle images, image masking helps create flawless cutouts that are ready for e-commerce, catalogs, and marketing use.
What is Image Masking in Photo Editing?
Image masking is a photo editing technique used to separate subjects from their backgrounds when traditional clipping paths aren’t enough. It is especially useful for products with fine edges, soft outlines, or transparent areas, such as hair strands, pet fur, glassware, or veils.
Instead of creating sharp cut lines, masking allows editors to work pixel by pixel, preserving natural edges and delicate details. For example, a model with flowing hair or a glass bottle with reflections can be isolated without losing realism, ensuring the final image looks clean, polished, and market-ready.
