Our masking service is a process of dividing the background and foreground (usually a person or product) from an image and in some cases replacing the background with a new one. We base our background removal on four main principles: expertise, experience, productivity and affordable rates.<\/p>\n<p>Background removal can consist of simple removals, such as those shot on green screen or in a studio environment or more complex levels such as where the image was shot on a natural background with hair blowing in the wind. We also provide accurate masking of simple and complex objects such as transparent items, delicate items with furry or thin borders, hair, etc. Background removal is a manual job; only handmade background removal delivers pleasant results.<\/p>\n<p>Our image masking service doesn&#8217;t limit you on image resolution, background texture and color, image format, file amount, and so on.<\/p>\n<h2>What else is possible after image masking?<\/h2>\n<p>Background removal may be used in conjunction with our<a title=\"Photo Editor \u2013 High End Beauty Retouching\" href=\"https:\/\/www.softfocus.co.za\/photography\/services\/photo-editing\/high-end-beauty-retouching\/\"> photo editing services<\/a> to achieve even greater image results. Object retouching, color correction and image enhancements are just a few of the additional benefits. Beyond this, we provide all kinds of additional editing services parallel to masking such as: resizing, shape correction, shadow creation and more.<\/p>\n<h3>Base background removal<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softfocus.co.za\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Product-Photography-Editing-Background-Removal_Cape-Town-Photographer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2081 alignleft\" style=\"border: 1px solid white;\" title=\"Product Photography Editing\" alt=\"Product Photography Editing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfocus.co.za\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Product-Photography_Cape-Town-Photographer_0010.jpg\" width=\"152\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBackground removal around items, products or people with good contrast.
