What Is Photo Masking?

Photo masking is a simple technique that will remove the

existing background of any image. It delivers nearly the same result as clipping path. But the difference is made when the image is blurry, or objects are with finer stuffs like flying

your images professionally done, then better you use the photo masking method

instead of anything else.
