Drawing the Sides in outfits I own, Part 2: The Creativitwins, Remus and Roman!! Part 1: Patton So I kind of alluded to it in my last post but I had these two sketched up while drawing Patton and thought I'd clean them up for posting too! Roman's outfit is a typical autumn/spring outfit for me (minus the sword) of blue jeans, green trainers and my comfy bomber jacket. Remus' on the other hand is a casual party outfit, of chunky studded belt, black ankle boots, fishnets and vest with a funny slogan. Hope you enjoy! I have an idea for Virgil already so we'll see if I get around to drawing him too...

PHOTOSHOP MASKING BEST MASKING IN PHOTOSHOP SERVICE PROVIDER

Photoshop Masking denotes to be one of the basic image processing operations. It is an important substitute of Clipping Path Service for removing or replacing the background of a complex image containing numerous turns and curves with soft, unclear/blurred part, hair portions or fuzzy edges. It is used to eliminate or extract object from the picture.

The technique is very suitable when Clipping Path alone cannot give accurate details of soft, complicated areas like in hair, fur, glasses, plastic bottles, smoke, lighting and transparent objects. Usually, clipping path is done in hard and defined edges using Photoshop pen tool whereas masking is the complete solution of Background Removal for soft and fuzzy looking edges in order to get smoother, sharper and more pronounced edges that ensure high quality and wonderful level of details as required.

Advanced Photoshop Masking Services:

In digital image manipulation sector like in photo masking, Clipping USA has dedicated professional team that has shown it’s Excellency in using the latest technology maintaining standard quality. Masking types for different images are not the same. Based on the working procedure and complexity level, we subdivide the image masking service into 5 significant types for better understanding.

Layer Masking:

Layer masking is applied to the soft and thin edges creating layers to get extra sharp, clean and well-defined edges. Tools like Photoshop Brush Tool or Background Eraser Tool does a good job to remove the background. But still it requires multiple other techniques to erase even the last unwanted bit and that is achievable only by our skilled and experienced professionals. Using the tools it requires coloring over the required area to finish the selection procedure fruitfully. According to the requirement of the client, we do Alpha Layer Masking creating an extra layer so that any future modification is possible. As the change in layer mask is not permanent, clients are able to show or hide a selected part, change the background or bring back its initial look if needed in future.

Alpha Channel or Raster Masking:

Alpha Channel Masking is one of the long processing masking services in Clipping USA. After separating the image from its background we save the image as ‘alpha image’. Later, we take the image in different channels to edit the brightness, contrast, exposure. The selection of alpha channel includes the color combination of Red Green Blue (RGB) and Cyan Magenta Yellow Key (CMYK) colors for an easy masking operation especially when the color doesn’t seem to be clear. An advantage of the alpha channel is, it minimizes the file size which is very convenient for further uploading and downloading of the images.

Hair and Fur masking:

Hair and fur portion of an image include the thinner, softer and fuzzier sophisticated edges. By Hair and Fur Masking, we are able to draw a fine lining to give an authentic shape even adjusting color, contrast, brightness perfectly. Our designers do the pixel isolation work properly and apply various effects to give your image a natural look.

Transparent or Translucent Masking:

In Transparent or Translucent masking, it is important to sustain the transparency of an object so that any background image and color is visible through the object. The objects like glasses, car glasses, spectacles, water, spectacles have 0% to 5% opacity where the images of sunglasses, smoke, plastic packets and bottles, feather, flame, fireworks, lighting and transparent fabrics can have 5% to 99% opacity. Our experienced DTP experts can easily identify the percentage of transparency or visibility of color through required object.

Collage Masking:

Photoshop collage masking is done by combining different objects in a single image. It includes the extraction of one or two objects from other images in order to place them in a new natural collage image using this technique.

Besides these, color masking is a very popular one where our expert designers apply various effects like color, contrast, exposure, retouching.

When is Masking not recommended?

If your image has sharp, clean and well-defined edges, then use Photoshop Clipping Path instead of masking service. Again, if you face any difficulty in differentiating between the background color and object color, then Contact Us for any alternative suggestions.

How we apply Photoshop masking for Background Removal?

Depending on the complication level of masking out the object from its background, we need to deal with every image with a different technique to achieve the optimum output. We use ‘quick selection tool’ or ‘magic wand tool’ to paint a selection as required using an adjustable round brush tip. The background eraser tool or edge brush tool does a good job but sometimes not enough to maintain a perfect pixel size. Our well trained Image Editing Artists apply multiple other techniques including layer, channel, transparent or color masking as necessary to manually erase even the last unwanted bit of background.

If any image has a combination of the both sharp and fuzzy edges, we draw the clipping path for sharp and well-defined edges and apply our advanced masking techniques to the fuzzy and thinner areas. For example, in a full body human model, the hair portion is best suited for masking operation while vector path is done in other clear areas. We carefully supervise the combination of manual and automation techniques to ensure high quality and a fantastic level of details.

To mask an image is not a trouble-free task but rather effective and professional image masking is both time consuming and tiring. Our team of creative artists always keeps their full concentration and skills into each Photoshop masking jobs they work on.
