Professional
Image Masking

Retain microscopic details like fly-away hair, fine fur, or translucent glass. Unlike vector clipping paths, our pixel-perfect masking isolates complex edges while keeping the natural look intact.

Precision Beyond the Pen Tool

Standard deep etching creates hard edges. Image masking allows our specialists to preserve translucency and microscopic details like stray hairs, fur, or smoke. We use advanced Photoshop masking techniques to ensure your subjects integrate seamlessly into any new environment.

Alpha Channel Masking

Ideal for complex hair and fur. By isolating individual color channels, we capture every strand with 100% accuracy, even on busy backgrounds.

Transparency & Refine Edge

We specialize in translucency masking for glassware, liquids, and chiffon fabrics, removing color "bleeding" from the original background.
