Both image masking and deep etching are applied for background removal.

Clipping Mask Asia can handle your deep etch and image masking requirements smoothly.

Both techniques have different other technical names as well. The other terms for image masking are Photoshop masking, photo masking, image mask, etc. On the other hand, deep etching is also known as clipping path, image clipping, etc. Though both techniques are applied for removing the background, each appears with distinct characteristics.

Photoshop deep etch is the most popular and straightforward photo cut-out technique that is created with the help of the Photoshop pen tool. A short vector line is drawn with the help of pen tool to make the selection. Whatever you will include inside the selection is included, and anything outside is excluded. Creating clipping path is not that much tough. You can easily start with it by watching one or two Photoshop tutorials. However, image clipping has some limitations. You can’t apply it on all images to extract from the background. You can only apply this technique on images with a solid and clear edge, like garments, books, toys, bags, accessories, etc.

In contrast, image masking is a completely different procedure. It is a bit comparatively complex and time-consuming. The image that can’t be extracted with image clipping is extracted with Photoshop masking. Any image with hair, fur, and fiber requires photo masking. Photo masking is a set of techniques, and you must select the most appropriate technique for your image according to the requirement. Even a single image may require different masking techniques as well. Background eraser technique, color separation, channel mask, Photoshop extract, etc., are the most popular types of image masking techniques. You can’t just start with these techniques without that much expertise and skills.

• There are other differences as well between these two popular image editing techniques. Suppose you decide to use any professional image editing studio for background removal service. In that case, you can avail clipping path service for just $0.39 USD, while you have to pay at least $1.99 USD for the image masking service.
• Clipping path can be done without the help of image masking, but you must need the help of clipping for masking treatment. Photoshop masking is more time-consuming than photo clipping.
• Deep etching can be done using a single Photoshop tool (pen tool), but you have to use different Photoshop tools for hair masking like a background eraser tool, extract tool, brush tool, quick selection, color adjustment tool, etc.
• If you are new to Adobe Photoshop, you should start with deep etching first. Later you may proceed toward image masking. You should learn at least three to four masking techniques to mask an image successfully. In the beginning, you may not be able to mask out the background properly, but practicing again and again, will help you to do it properly.

Photoshop deep etch needed to cut out images from the existing background that allows applying any background. It’s a vector mask technique that is also known as Photoshop deep etch.

If you Google “clipping path service,” you will find hundreds of websites that provide image cut-out services. People unfamiliar with the photo editing industry must ask what to do with deep etching or clipping path services. The answer to the question is very straightforward. As I have mentioned at the beginning of this article. But deep etching also serves different other purposes as well. Here I will explain some sophisticated use of this technique.

The first and foremost use of image cut-out service is to remove the background of an image. In the case of professional and commercial images, it’s almost mandatory to use neat and clean background. To use such a background, you must first remove the original background. Then, you will be able to apply your desired background.

Secondly, Photoshop clipping path is applied to remove any unwanted parts from the image. Anything lies with the selection of clipping remains, and anything outside the clipping path is removed. This is how we can remove any wanted part along with the image's background.

Many studios ask for clipping path services to further enhance their images' editing. ‘Multiple clipping paths’ is frequently needed to accomplish advanced color correction. It allows the image editor to select each color individually and manipulate the image's color differently. You can re-color your t-shirt or travel bag into hundreds of color variants.

You may also need a deep etch to combine multiple images into one. Suppose you want to remove the sky from one image and apply a different one. Here you need clipping as well.

The retouch specialist also needs image clipping service to apply advanced retouching. Think of a ring image. It requires deep etching to do advanced image retouching. Different dimensions and surfaces of the ring must be selected while retouching the image. It will ensure smooth Photoshop retouching of the image.

Even if you want to apply professional drop shadow or mirror effect, you must need clipping path service to cut out the image from the existing background first. Then you can apply drop shadow or mirror effect to the image.
