What Is Image Masking? Image masking is the process of taking an image out of it’s current background, ensuring that the entirety of the image remains intact. Using a background removal tool, it is possible to completely remove any unnecessary parts of an image, making it an incredibly useful tool for those photographers without a variety of backgrounds. Who Might Use Image Masking? There are a variety of people who might use animage masking service, but the majority of customers come from photographers. When creating a portfolio, it is not always possible to have an entire green screen set-up when taking pictures, and depending on what the client needs, some backgrounds may not be available in the surrounding areas. Image masking makes it possible for photographers to take a picture (or multiple pictures) and remove whatever background they currently have. Background removal allows the photographer to create an entirely new background, and use the clipping removal tool to place the necessary parts of the image onto an entirely new background of the client’s choice. This means that the photographer no longer needs to be in a specific area to take their collage of photographs, and can simple use a backdrop when taking pictures. Benefits of an Image Masking Service With the cost of gas and transportation, budget is usually a key element of any photographer’s work. Image masking allows the photographer to cut out the cost of transportation when taking the pictures. No longer are long drives a part of the process, and when a client has a backdrop they would like in mind, it can usually be found online. This means that the task of finding the perfect area to take a photo is eliminated from the process as well, saving plenty of time, money and effort. Other Uses for Image Masking Although predominantly used by photographers and graphic designers, image masking is a great tool for people at home as well. When going through a divorce, a spouse can easily use the clipping removal experts to take their ex-loved one out of any picture they choose, thereby eliminating the need to go out and take brand new pictures to decorate the home. For those who enjoy taking pictures at home, rather than paying a photographer, an image masking service is a unique tool that will allow them the comfort of their home when taking pictures, while still creating the exact image they desired. ...read more

In this tutorial, I will share how to remove the background from an image with Photoshop. There are a lot of ways to remove the background of an image, depending on how complex that background is.   Erasing a simple Background of an image: Follow the steps below- 1.     Open the image in Photoshop:   If the image background is solid color or close to solid color this method works best. 2.     Navigate to the Layers window:   This is located on the right hand side of the screen. Most images that haven’t been edited before will only have one layer, called “Background”. Right-click on this layer and select “Layer from Background”. This will open the new layer window. Leave the options at their presets&press; ok. Background will change to layer 0. Doing this will unlock the image, allowing it to edit it. 3.     Select the magic eraser tool:   Eraser tool menu -> select Magic eraser tool(Click&hold the eraser tool icon). 4.     Adjust the Magic Eraser Setting:  Once you select the Magic Eraser, you will see some settings in the top menu bar. Adjust them so that they look similar to this. # Set opacity to 100%   # Check the contiguous box   # Check the anti-alias box  # Set tolerance to 20-30. 5.     Click the Background:     The Magic Eraser will remove all of the color that you clicked on, turning it into transparent background. The tolerance level will affect how many related colors are removed as well. 6.     Make any minor adjustments:   If you were deleting a solid color background, it should be almost completely erased in one click. You may need to zoom in and make minor adjustments with the Eraser tool. 7.     Select Your Object:    Once you are satisfied with the removal of the background, you can use the Lasso tool to draw a rough outline around the object. Press Ctrl+Shift+J to create a “New Layer Via Cut”, which will place your object on a separate layer from the old background. You can now delete the background layer (Layer 0) . 8.     Save Your Image:    You now have an object with a transparent background that can be overlaid onto any other existing image. ...read more
