Should You Use a Clipping Path or a Mask in Photoshop_

There are two methods you can use to cut something out of its background in Photoshop, clipping paths and masks. They're both quick, easy and powerful, so the question on many people's minds is which should you use? This article will compare clipping paths and masks to help you decide which one works best for your project.

Brief Introduction

Photoshop is an excellent tool for removing background from photos. There are two basic ways to do this: clipping paths and masks. A clipping path is an object that you draw around the object you want to take out of its background, then send the selection to your foreground layer. This creates a hole in the original layer that reveals what's behind it. The drawback with this technique is that if you mess up while drawing the shape, it's difficult to fix because the original layer will still be there.

Using Clipping Paths

Clipping paths, also known as alpha channels, can be created using selections and the pen tool. There are two types of clipping paths: those with hard edges and those with soft edges.

Using Masks

Masks are one of the most powerful tools that you have at your disposal. They allow you to paint on the mask with black, white and other colors to reveal different parts of the image. If you're working on just one object, then masks can be your best friend. However, if you have multiple objects (or parts of an object) that need to be separated from each other, then clipping paths are usually your better option.
