Gets a Grip of Advanced Image Masking Technique
Every
editor is likely to face the prospect of removing one part of any
element of a photo and add something else with the help of mask or
layers. In their own interest they should quickly adapt and get a grip
on the technique.
When it comes to image masking
there are various methods and tools in Photoshop. The pen tool is one
of the best when it comes to masking. When this technique is required
some amount of clipping around the photograph will also be required. The
clipping is done to isolate the subject form the undesired background.
If the background is white then it is little tricky but nevertheless the
skill of the editor is tested with the pen tool. While the lasso tool
can zero basic elements, the better edges can be got only with the pen
tool. This works best when the editor needs to clip out the products
when they are shot against solid backgrounds. Even subjects that lack
contract with respect to the background can be masked. The next step is
to master the layer masking that defines the expertise of any editor.
This is another remarkable tool that is better than the eraser. An
eraser can remove things but cannot bring them back. Hence it can prove
to be a setback. But the layer mask can be conveniently removed and
replaced if the preview is bad.
