PHOTOSHOP IMAGE MASKING
We follow the most advanced and powerful masking
techniques to control the visibility of a layer.
IMAGE MASKING
Image masking has many types of uses. For soft edges of an image like human hair, furry clothes, doll etc. photo masking technique is applied in combination with the clipping path technique to remove or replace image background. For hard edges, clipping path technique is used; for the furry or soft edge, masking is used. In the situation, where it is not possible to grab more accurate details of soft edges with the clipping path technique alone, photo masking method is called upon to isolate the object from the background.
This is another method we apply for the product or object that has the closest colored background to that of object color. To separate the product from background with natural soft edges, we use Pen Tablet (Wacom). With this method, we can easily blend the hard area and the soft area. Accuracy of the product edge blending depends on the airbrush size and sketching pressure.

Alpha channel Masking
Separating object from background, we save it as Alpha Channel to edit brightness, contrast, exposure, etc. later. Its file size is lighter for uploading/downloading. Single colored background is perfect for photo masking.

Fur & Hair Masking
When clipping path technique is insufficient to refine an image containing fur and hair, we make use of the image masking technique. Fur and hair being smooth having soft edge, we apply masking to isolate these from image background. In order to sharpen the image, we also resolve the exposure issues touching right from color, contrast, and brightness to bring the natural appearance.

Refine Edge Masking
When it comes to perfect selection, especially of objects with soft and smooth edge, refine edge is the go-to tool. But for initial selection, we use one of Photoshop’s selection tools like the Pen tool or Quick Selection tool. Then, we create a layer mask, modify the layer mask and finally, refine the edge mask. The tool enables us to represent stuff like fur, hair, blanket, doll, tree, etc. of an image more naturally.

Transparent object Masking
For transparent objects like glasses, bottles, glass jars, pure water, and lenses, selection with pen tool doesn’t ensure perfection. To isolate the transparent subject from image background and use it in a compatible background, transparent image masking technique is second to none.

Translucent object Masking
The difference between transparent and translucent object lies in the clarity and visibility of the materials. We apply translucent image masking in images containing frosted glass, sunglasses, tinted window, wax paper, etc. to segregate the subject from the backdrop retaining the maximum quality.

Color Masking
To avoid the hollow line, cutting an image just across the edge or outline instead of 1 or 2 pixels inside is color mask. The designers later apply various effects like color & exposure correction, retouching, etc.

Methods We Apply to Image Masking
There are multiple ways available of image masking. To get an idea about both these methods, don’t leave without skimming through the segments below-
Photoshop Alpha Masking process
Alpha channel is used to create a selection in Photoshop. While making a selection with a regular brush, you need to apply the same color to it as well as its transparency factor (alpha). If any part of the selected area is transparent, it won’t be visible on screen.
In order to create this alpha channel in Photoshop, we need to convert our current layer into a filled transparent layer first by going under Layer>Create new fill or adjustment layer. You can also do this by selecting Layer>New fill or adjustment layer from your menu bar. The new layer will be created below this original layer and it will have no transparency factor.
Images Standard Layer Masking
In Photoshop, when you want to mask an image, you can use Photoshop’s standard layer masking feature. This means that you will be masking similar layers on your image.
Layer masks are great for retouching images, but they can also be used for more creative purposes. For example, if you have a background image that needs to be superimposed over your photo (or vice versa), it might be more effective to place an image layer directly on top of another image layer rather than using a mask. This allows you to edit the original layer directly without affecting the mask itself.
