Channel masking or soft mask is a technique that is used in Photoshop as raster masking. Soft mask requires masking techniques with RGB and CMYK and many more custom channels. To accomplish clipping path, channel masking is the best way as it is perfect to create sophisticated images. Soft mask is a quick method to select an object with proper color contrast in the surrounding pixels.

Channel masking

Channel masking is the right and powerful way to knock out any background of the image having fuzzy edges like hair, fur or thread strands. Such edges are hard to remove with other tools like magic wand tool, quick selection or lasso tool. Even the pen tool has not that much capability to remove the background effectively by creating smooth and fine edges. Thus using alpha or soft mask, you can remove the background of an image nicely.

Soft mask or alpha masking or channel masking is the most effective feature of Photoshop that is in use widely by most of the photo editing companies.I hope you understand the topic well.

Photoshop is a very easy to use tool even for the beginners. In Photoshop layer mask in used to control the transparency of a layer. Sometimes you have to reveal or hide some portions of an image and that can be achieved only with layer mask. While opacity is also an option in Photoshop to control the intensity of a layer, but using a layer mask is flexible to work in order to show what you want and what you don’t. And interestingly, you will not lose even a single pixel of the image using layer masks. 



You must definitely use layer mask if you want quality results. When you add layer mask to any layer, the whole area gets covered with grayscale canvas (invisible). You will of course not see immediate results after applying layer mask to any layer until it’s actively selected at that time.
The invisible canvas that covers the entire area can be painted in black, white or gray color. Whatever color you paint the area with will tell Photoshop about the level of opaqueness. It implies that the dark the color will be the invisible the area will be. Black color means 0% level of opacity and white shows 100% opacity.

Photoshop CS3 is used widely by everyone who have not updated to the newer versions. Today I am going to teach you how to remove thebackground of an image in Photoshop CS3. Various ways are there to do this task, but let’s see this method first 


  • 1. Open Photoshop CS3.

    2. Load your image for which you want to remove the background.

    3. Create a duplicate layer of the original layer by clicking on layer>duplicate layer.
        Hide the background layer.

    4. Go to “edit in quick mask mode” at the bottom of the toolbar. 

    5. Press D as it will reset the colors to black and white.

    6. Pick the brush to hide the areas that you don’t want. Highlight the areas that you want to            remove and that you want to keep. 

    7. Simply put, you have to paint the background black by highlighting it and get rid of that area.
    Once when you are done with the painting, go to “edit in standard mode”. 

    8. This option is located in the toolbar next to quick mask mode. Clicking this option will create a selection of what you don’t want in the image. Hit Delete and there you go!!

    9. Or you can use the eraser tool to remove the background by duplicating the original image.
