What is Masked Image?

Image masking is a technique used in photo editing. It helps to separate specific areas of an image for more precise editing and manipulation. It's like placing a “mask” over parts of a picture that you want to protect or hide while exposing the other areas for editing.

Example of "Original Image" and "Masked Image".
