How Do You Make A Photoshop Clipping Path?
Want to use part of an image but not destroy the rest? Photoshop clipping paths designate transparent areas in images. A clipping path can isolate part of an image; the rest of the image is transparent when the image is placed in a page layout. A common example is to make a clipping path of a foreground object to exclude or mask out the background. Step 1 Define an area of the image to be the clipping path by drawing a path around the area. Use the marquee, lasso, pen or pencil tool from the Photoshop tool bar. The path will remain visible. Step 2 Select “Window” from the menu bar and click “Paths.” This will open the “Paths” palette. Click the pull-out menu on the upper right and select “Make Work Path.” Select the appropriate tolerance; higher tolerance numbers mean more detail, lower numbers less detail. Click “OK.” The Path pull-out menu will be displayed. Click “Save Path,” type a name for the path in the dialog box and click “OK.” Step 3 Display the Path pull-out menu again. Choo
