Guest tutorials explained

Over the years I've been writing many Adobe Photoshop tutorials and recently been writing for additional categories such as Cinema 4D and CSS. Now since I helped a lot of people with my tutorials it just seems right to have the option for members to give something back to the Celox design community by submitting there self-written tutorials to this site, keep in mind that it's not a tutorial engine instead all submitted tutorials will be re-published on this site.

Members that will submit there tutorials on this site will be awarded with a link back to there own website on the specific tutorial's page, this link will be in text format so it will most definitely improve your search engine ranking.

Intro:

Learn how to do a simple clipping path.

Step 1:

Open an image that you will work with in this tutorial.

Step 2:

Clipping paths are a vector-based version of a layer mask. They perform the same function as a layer mask, except they contain smooth, hard, edges that do not allow for any shading. Clipping paths work just like a normal path, and thus are excellent for working with clip art and other scalable, vector-based images. To create a clipping path, start by drawing a path on your image with the Pen Tool.

Step 3:

Click the Paths tab on the Layers palette. Then select on Shape 1 Vector Mask path - the Save Path tab will pop up when you click on it. The default path name for the new path is "Path 1".

Step 4:

Click the upper right button and select Clipping Path.
