Different applications that can do clipping path

There are some software applications that can do clipping path.

Adobe Photoshop - offers a wide variety of tools for removing backgrounds especially doing some clipping path. Pen Tool is the most useful tool in photoshop for clipping path. Pen Tool is to create a path around the image and convert the path to a selection. The pen tool allows you to draw a path around your image consisting of bezier curves.

Personally, I find it easier to place the points of the path around the image initially, and then go back and edit the curves later. If you're comfortable drawing with the pen tool, you may prefer to draw the curves as your create your path. If you're just placing the points for editing later, you'll need to place a point between each curved line segment where the line changes direction.

GIMP - is an open source graphics editor. Gimp is an impressively powerful and freely-distributable Adobe Photoshop-alternative open-source application for digital image composition, authoring, retouching and processing. In GIMP the path tool can be use for clipping path. The Path tool can make complex selections by specifying certain points that are connected together with a curve.

Corel Photo-Paint - is the well known image creation and photo editing application. In this application the Path Tool is best for clipping path. This tool is not all that different than using Photoshop Pen Tool. Using the path tool also involves working with bezier curves.


Others may say that they prefer GIMP for quick and dirty image editing but others says that they preferred Adobe Photoshop for clipping path because it's easier for them to do and its easy to use and understand the tools. Curate's egg is part of doing clipping path using with different application programs.

They said that clipping path is a vector path which allows part of an image to show while hiding the background of the image. A clipping path in an image editing program like those three applications is functionally equivalent to a mask in an illustration program. Other says that clipping path is like a silhouette of an area that serves as a mask. Only that portion within the clipping path (mask) appears when placed into another application or combined with another image. The area outside the clipping path becomes transparent. Well whatever they said all in all, for short explanation about clipping path is to remove background of an image or an object or subject.
