Layer Masking



Layer masking is one of the most popular image conversion methods that is used for more compound images where clipping path alone is not enough. This layer masking system contains a black and white layer mask that ensures the visibility or invisibility of an image or a part of it. The black and white layer mask is used to hide some part of an image or to make it visible, transparent, semi-transparent, or translucent. The white part of the mask reveals the pixels whereas the black part of the mask hides the layered part. The best part of using layer masking is, it is not destructive. It means, there is no unredeemable change done to an image in it. Neither the visible part nor the hidden part is changed that much drastically that it can't be recovered ever. There is no certain omission of the pixels rather it leaves just a mask on images which can be easily removed whenever required and recovered the original image immediately. It is mostly used for advertisement display for e-commerce websites or other business purposes by pulling out backgrounds of sophisticated images and used the product images separately. Therefore, in product photography, online markets, film industry, poster making companies, layer masking is one of the most necessary equipment without which they can't run their advertising and branding chain.
