Image Editing & Graphic Design
Alpha Channel Masking
Masks stored as alpha channels that keep partial transparency, suited to smoke, glass, veils and soft edges.
- Price
- From $0.69 per image
- Free trial
- 2 images, edited to your brief, no card, no commitment.
What to send us
Images with semi-transparent areas, such as smoke, glass, veils or motion blur, the software your team uses, and whether the mask should be saved as an alpha channel, a layer mask or both.
What you get back
Files with the mask stored as an alpha channel that keeps partial transparency, delivered as TIFF or PSD, with a preview of the subject on a neutral background.
What to check before you sign off
Place the result over a strongly colored background. Semi-transparent areas should take on the new color naturally instead of carrying gray from the old backdrop.
