Image Masking
Image masking is a technique used in image editing to selectively hide or reveal portions of an image. It involves creating a mask, which is essentially a grayscale image where the pixels determine the transparency of corresponding pixels in the original image. This allows for precise control over which parts of the image are visible, hidden, or partially transparent.
Image masking is commonly used in various applications, including photo editing, graphic design, compositing, and retouching, to achieve seamless and precise blending of multiple images or to isolate complex objects from their backgrounds. It offers flexibility and control over image editing tasks, allowing for non-destructive and highly customizable adjustments.
