Frequently Asked Questions
Image masking is a technique that removes the background from images that have subjects with fuzzy edges, like hair, wool, or fur. Unlike clipping path services, which are like cutting out an image from a magazine, image masking is a labor-intensive task that requires advanced Photoshop techniques to account for every last strand of hair or fur.
Sometimes, we’ll combine more than one tool to get just the right look.
Image masking allows you to change the background behind the subject of your image. You can create white backgrounds for selling products online, or display your subjects in any setting.
Not all image masking projects are the same, so the rates for each project vary.
Pricing is based on the total number of sections that need masking, the difference between the object and its background, and the background color (because it’s more complicated to separate objects that are similar in color to the background).
Every image is different, but we follow standard pricing guidelines to make sure your rate is always clear and objective, even if you’re working with a different designer. Here’s an overview of the different categories of image masking projects:
The simplest images fall into this category. These images have simple, smooth edges around most of the object, with a small portion of the image containing fur, hair, or transparency.
Most images fall into this category — almost 50% of image masking orders at Path. These images are a little more involved than “basic” images because more of the object’s area has furry or fuzzy edges, or the object has complex, smooth edges.
This is the second most common category for image masking projects. These images may have fur or hair covering the entire subject, or contain varying levels of transparency throughout the object’s edges or area.
Images in this category might have multiple people (or animals) in a single photo. Sometimes images with shadows or multiple background colors fit in this category too, because they require a combination of image masking techniques
A very small number of image masking projects fall into the super complex category. These images have highly intricate borders and require a variety of image masking techniques.
Spending all day editing sucks the passion out of your work
You need perfect clipping paths and clean photos to attract customers to your products and make them want what you’re selling. But when you’re launching hundreds — or even thousands — of products a week, clipping path edits can take days.
You don’t have to waste all that time in Photoshop doing edits yourself. And you definitely don’t have to stay up too late frantically trying to finish clipping paths on time. We’re betting that’s not what you signed up for when you started doing this work.
