Clipping path is an awesome technique to cut out an object from its respective background. In Adobe Photoshop CS5, here are the steps to create a clipping path. Check them out:


  • Pick the pen tool from the tools palette and create a path around the object or the image. An outline is created to cut the object out from the background.
  • Save the path in the paths panel from the panel menu and name it anything you want to. Once the path is saved, move ahead.
  • Now choose clipping path from the panel menu and in the clipping path dialog box, choose the path from the drop down list. Click OK.
  • Now set the flatness value to determine the speed with which you are creating the outline. For faster processing, set the higher amount. At the high value, you will see straight edges instead of curved ones.
  • Save the file in the Photoshop EPS format from the drop down menu. Click OK.
