The best way to explain the clipping path process is to compare it to a traditional cutout. When you want the subject of a magazine on a different background, you can use a pair of scissors. Clipping path is very similar to this process.

Also known as a “closed vector path,” the Photoshop clipping path technique takes a “deep etch” of the image that allows you to completely remove the subject. Using Photoshop, lines are applied to the subject image so that everything within the boundaries is removed from the overall image. Why has this done to your images? Well, sometimes a background can make an image too busy, and when this happens, it detracts and takes the focus away from the main subject of the image, which can be a problem.

Are Clipping Path Techniques Always Advisable?

Clipping patch technology through Photoshop isn’t always the best course of action. When there are hard-to-define edges on an image then you can use other techniques instead. This includes situations when the edges of an image are fuzzy, when there’s hair involved, or when there’s transparency around the edge of the image.
