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.
