Description: Masking involves designating a part of a digital image to which an editing procedure will be applied (e.g. an object is masked, then removed by "cutting" the masked area). Masking is a time-consuming, and often tedious, part of digital image editing. Poor masking can destroy the impact of an image.

Cost Considerations: DigitalCustom offers a "mask-only" service that allows customers to outsource complex or high-volume masking projects. This reduces the burden on a customer's in-house creative personnel, allowing talent to be applied to better uses. Price range: $5-$50/high res image (volume rates available).
