Terms you should know Clipping path

The clipping path is the cut line used to crop the image. Crop the image with scissors or think of a cookie cutter. A clipping path is a contour that you cut with scissors or a cutter.

Removing the background with a clipping path basically allows the image to be cropped with a uniform amount of feathering (softening the edges transparently) by a vector shape (path).

This gives the result a clear edge and a clean cut out.

Clipping Magic uses clipping paths to separate hairless sections from the background.

Clipping mask
Clipping masks are pixel-based, not vector-based. Masks are mainly used when there are partially transparent areas that would be lost using a clipping path.

Clipping Magic uses clipping masks to separate sections of hair from the background.








If you don't want to do the dirty work yourself immersed in Photoshop, you can outsource your image editing to a clipping path service.

Clipping Magic is an alternative to clipping path services. In other words, it is an online clipping path self-service tool. With Clipping Magic, you can quickly cut out the foreground without having to learn advanced graphic design techniques.

Silo, silhouette
Depending on the industry, the cropped foreground is called a "silo" or "silhouette."

Detached object
To separate an object means to cut it out from its surroundings, that is, to remove the background.

Background clipping
Cropping the background means removing the background.

Hello
Backgrounds can often blur to the foreground edges, especially in out-of-focus areas of the photo.

This produces a halo in the result. When the foreground is cropped, part of the outline of the background is still visible around it.

Typically, offsets are used in handwritten clipping paths to address this situation. Clipping Magic, on the other hand, actively analyzes each pixel along the edge to re-estimate the color that should be, often eliminating the need for offsets and reproducing a more complete foreground.

The advanced halo removal function is always used, even if you do not make any fine adjustment settings.

offset
Clipping paths are usually drawn slightly inward to avoid halos.

Clipping Magic actively re-estimates the edge colors, so you don't usually need to use offsets, but you can use them in the fine-tuning menu.

Feathering
When cropping an image, the border of the crop is usually feathered and transitions from completely opaque to completely transparent for a few pixels from the border.

This allows for softer cuts that look more natural.

Alpha channel
Most images are completely opaque. However, when cropping the background, some of the image needs to be transparent. This transparent area is usually encoded as an alpha channel.

This results in a properly feathered image that transitions softly from completely opaque to completely transparent.

 Does not support transparency. PNG fully supports transparency. GIF only supports binary transparency (pixels are completely opaque or completely transparent).

Cut out
Cropping an image is removing the background.
