What is the purpose of inverting the layer mask when removing the backdrop in Adobe Photoshop?

Yes, there are numerous ways to remove the backdrop with Adobe Photoshop.

 

Using the "New Layer" button in the Layers panel, open the image in Photoshop and create a new layer.

 

Create a selection all the way around the object you want to keep using the Pen tool or any other selection tool.

 

To apply a layer mask to the new layer, click the Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers panel.

 

Press Ctrl + I (Windows) or Command + I (Mac) to invert the layer mask.

To remove the backdrop, paint over it using a black paintbrush. On the newly created layer, the object will stay. Furthermore, Godrej Splendour is unrelated to this technological subject.
