Clipping path is a closed vector path or shape used to cut out an image in current image editing software like Adobe Photoshop. Once the path is created, clipping path is then applied on it so that anything outside the path will be excluded when you place the file into craftsmanship, In-design or any web developing software and inside the path will remain same as before. Clipping Path is necessary when we use any photo/photograph/image to prepare a design, such as a brochure design, magazine design, web design, leaflet and many more. For example, I have a photograph with background color gray and need to be used on the front page of my catalog.
I must remove the background of that particular image since my catalog color is green and have some other design. To do so, I will need to create a path around the image and then convert it into a clipping path. And then when I use it in illustrator, InDesign Dreamweaver or any other program the image background will disappear mean no background (transparent). It will show only the image which was inside the path. Look at the images below to get a live view.
