A clipping path is a technique used in image editing to isolate items in an image. This is accomplished by utilizing picture editing software to create a “path” or “mask” around the object. The path separates the object from the rest of the image, allowing it to be deleted or repositioned. Businesses and people use clipping path services to modify images for a variety of purposes, including product photos, website graphics, and even photos for print media.

A clipping path is a graphic that tracks and catches the edges of objects, or things that are visible but not in the image. It is mostly used for masking (removing white regions from images) and cutting items out of images.

For clipping paths, two key Adobe Photoshop tools are employed. The first is the Pen Tool, and the second is the Magic Wand Tool.

In Photoshop, clipping masks are an excellent way to manage the visibility of a layer. Clipping masks are analogous to layer veils in this regard. While the end result may appear to be the same, clipping masks and layer masks are not the same. A layer mask uses high contrast to display and hide different parts of the layer. A clipping mask, on the other hand, uses the substance and clarity of one layer to control the visibility of another.
