Knockout/ Extraction - Photophile NHC

Knockout Professional Editing Service

knockout often refers to a more advanced form of background removal. In knockout editing, the background is not only removed, but the subject is also seamlessly integrated into a new background or environment. Here are some common techniques and steps used in knockout editing:

Background Removal: The first step in knockout editing is often removing the original background from the image. This can be done using selection tools like the pen tool, lasso tool, or magnetic lasso tool to create precise outlines around the subject.
Masking: After the background is removed, masking techniques may be used to refine the edges of the subject and ensure a clean separation from the background. This involves creating a mask layer that defines which areas of the image are visible and which are hidden.
Refinement: Once the initial background removal and masking are complete, the editor may refine the selection further by adjusting the edges, smoothing out rough areas, and correcting any imperfections.
Compositing: In some cases, the isolated subject may be placed onto a new background or combined with other elements to create a composite image. This involves blending the subject seamlessly into the new environment, matching lighting and color tones, and adding shadows or reflections as needed.
Fine-Tuning: Finally, the editor may fine-tune the overall appearance of the image, adjusting brightness, co

What is the difference in Knockout & Background Removal.

Background removal typically refers to the process of eliminating the background from an image to isolate the subject. This can involve techniques such as masking, clipping paths, or using selection tools to cut out the background while preserving the subject. The goal of background removal is to create a clean, transparent, or solid-colored background that allows the subject to stand out.

On the other hand, knockout often refers to a more advanced form of background removal. In knockout editing, the background is not only removed, but the subject is also seamlessly integrated into a new background or environment. This may involve additional editing techniques such as blending, compositing, or adding shadows to make the subject appear as if it belongs in the new setting.

In summary, while both knockout and background removal involve the process of isolating the subject from its background, knockout typically involves more advanced editing techniques to achieve a seamless integration of the subject into a new environment.

After editing each image, a quality control check is performed to ensure consistency and accuracy across all edited photos. This includes checking for any missed edits, color discrepancies, or other errors that may affect the final output.
