Masking

Isolating areas of an image for selective editing.

What is masking?

Masking creates selections that isolate specific parts of an image for targeted editing. Layer masks in Photoshop use grayscale to control which areas are affected by adjustments. Masking enables precise retouching, background replacement, and composite work in product photography.
