Eraser Tool (E)Image Masking & Hair Masking
Image masking separates a subject from its background when the edges are soft, fine, or semi-transparent, such as hair, fur, fabric fringes, and glass. We use hand-refined layer masks in Photoshop to keep every strand and fine detail natural.
Image masking is a Photoshop technique that uses a layer mask, often built from channels, to hide or reveal parts of an image with soft transitions. Unlike a clipping path, a mask keeps fine edges and partial transparency, so it suits portraits, fur, feathers, lace, and glass.
Fine detail stays intact, with no harsh outlines or leftover background color.
Individual strands stay natural, with no harsh outline or leftover background color.
Soft, fine edges on pets, fur coats, feathers, and textured fabrics.
Bottles, glasses, and see-through products keep their transparency.
Color spill and halos are removed so the subject sits naturally on the new background.
Deliver on white, transparent, colored, or a background you provide.

See real before and after results from our image masking service. Each photo is edited with precise layer and alpha channel masking for hair, fur, fabric edges, and other fine, soft-edged details that a clipping path can’t handle.

Image masking is used to cut out subjects with soft, detailed, or semi-transparent edges, such as hair, fur, feathers, lace, and glass, so they can be placed on a new background without a harsh outline.
A clipping path creates a hard-edged vector outline and suits solid objects. Image masking uses a pixel-based mask with soft transitions, so it keeps fine detail and partial transparency.
Yes. Hair and fur are the most common reasons to use masking. We refine the mask by hand so strands stay natural and no old background color is left around them.
Yes. Transparent and semi-transparent objects need careful masking so the see-through areas stay natural. Send a sample and tell us the new background so we can match the look.
If the edge is sharp and solid, a clipping path is usually enough. If the edge is soft, hairy, or transparent, masking gives a better result. Not sure? Send a sample and we will recommend the right method.
