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.
I'm doing my very best to have it online soon, but since I have another job besides managing my sites I got very little time.
I hope you all like the new version's redesign, the new features and what not. There are still some minor bugs those need fixing but I'll get on that in the very near future.
