pen tablet vs traditional image masking
Image masking is a technique of removing image background. It is applied on the delicate edge of the furry or hairy images, model & fashion images, hairy doll or furry animal images, thin fabrics like muslin, chiffon, and so on. For removing the background from such type of images, only the clipping path is not adequate. So, in such a circumstance, image masking service comes inevitably to complete the job perfectly.

Traditionally, the graphic experts use a mouse, Photoshop, and its various tools & options such as the pen tool, brush tool, add layer mask, refine edge, and more. They do the job manually and they have to do it carefully for the high end quality. But, in case of furry photos, masking 100% perfectly is not possible. Such type of photo requires something more. And for this reason, the expert graphic designers use Pen Tablet.

Pen tablet is in fact an input device. It works with the Photoshop as an ad-on. The graphic designers use the device during photo editing instead of a mouse. It is very hard to select the flying or stray hair using a mouse for photo masking. But, the pen tablet can perfectly perform this work. Besides, the pen tablet enables us to make hand-drawn photos, animation, and graphics. It has a pen-like fantastic stylus that gives a sense of drawing photos same as like a pencil and paper. The designers apply it to get various graphic data or handwritten signatures. They also apply it to grab an image from a paper.

Here Is a Comparison Between Pen Tablet VS Traditional Way


There are a lot of advantages of applying a Pen Tablet for masking an image. Regarding the accuracy in case of delicate edge photo masking, this device can play a master role over the conventional way. Anyway, let’s compare and contrast between Pen Tablet and the traditional techniques of image masking-


·        The graphic experts apply pen tablet at the time of image masking because it can perfectly catch the hairy delicate edge of the photo. It is faster, smooth, and more effective than a mouse.
·        The designers can move from every point to point of an image on the screen in a single movement, but by a traditional mouse, it repeats the slides.

·        Pen tablet make us capable of doing more natural input for activities, for example, creative hand drawing and photo retouching.

·        The stylus has two buttons like the right click of the mouse.

·        Holding a pen is better than holding a mouse. Most of the users with repetitive strain injury (RSI) suffer less bad pain when using a pen tablet.


·        In a graphic design project, working with a mouse needs repetitive muscle movements when the rest of the hand remains still, creates uneven muscle fatigue. A pen, on the other side, allows you working in a more relaxed position.

·        Pen tablet doesn’t change the natural texture. It is very much useful for model photo masking. The designers apply it for changing color tone, exposure, brightness, contrast, etc. of a photo more accurately, but by the mouse, the job cannot be done like that of. 

By the way, if you use pen tablet or not, you have to be very experienced, skilled, and expert to get desired hair masking result. Alternatively, you can go to a professional image manipulation company to get your desired result for image masking such as model photos, fashion, furry animal, etc. Image Masking Service is one of the best photo editing service providers, who use pen tablet for accurate hair masking.
