Difference among Clipping Path, Clipping Mask and Layer Mask

Difference among Clipping Path, Clipping Mask and Layer Mask

Clipping path, layer mask and clipping mask are three closely related Photoshop techniques which seem confusing to many people. Clipping path or deep etch is the technique of cutting out the subject of an image from its background. It is done by using the Photoshop pen tool. On the other hand, Layer mask is used to combine both original layer and cutout layer after applying clipping path. It allows keeping both layers (original & cutout layers) within a single layer. Once layer mask is applied it requires clipping mask to bring the change on a particular layer. The point can further be illustrated by practical point of view: here I am attempting to create a short tutorial to show difference among these three Photoshop techniques.
In order to create clipping path we need to open the image first in Photoshop. Then a new layer is to be taken in the path plate like “path 1”.

Path Layer
Then, we have to start drawing path around the subject. Once the drawing is completed clipping path is done. We can keep the path layer either ‘active’ or ‘inactive’ depending on purpose.

Here I have selected the outside view through the window since I am willing to change the outer view. Now you can import any background image which you want to see through the window. I have imported a forest view and kept that below the layer of my original image.

Now select the path. To select path click CTRL + click on the path layer (PC) or Command + click on the path layer (Mac). After selecting path please inverse it by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + I (PC) or COMMAND + SHIFT+I(Mac). Once the path is inversed, please click on add “layer mask” icon on the bottom of layer plate and you will get the image layer masked. What do you see now through the window? Yes, it’s your desired background; here the forest view as I imported. You can import anything as you wish. Clipping mask allow to get back the original image without doing any permanent damage.

Clipping mask is applied to add certain effect to any particular layer without doing any permanent damage as well. Suppose if we want to make the window black and white without affecting the outside view (forest). Here we have to apply clipping mask. The first step is to select black-white option from the adjustment layer. After applying black-white effect the whole image will be black-white but our purpose is to apply it to the foreground only.

Now, please press CTRL + ALT + G (PC) or CMD + OPT + G (Mac). It will create the clipping mask. Yes, the forest view has retrieved    the color mode while the foreground (window) remains black-white. Here the entire original image can be brought back without any damage. It’s the privilege of both layer mask and clipping mask. Hope this study will help of clarify the perception of these three confusing Photoshop techniques.

Best Program to Do Photo Manipulation

Sometimes it’s fun to play with Photoshop. The individuals who enjoy photography must enjoy the software most. The art of capturing the moment of reallife becomes more artistic with the post shot processing of the images. The art of photography doesn't evolve from thought rather from the moment when the shot is taken and sometimes you need to edit the image to bring the perfection according to your imagination.


A photographer will simply raise the quest of how to make the image perfect. The simplest answer I feel is to touch up with different photo editing software to get the images rid of any flaw. Photo manipulation is one of the most interesting and useful photo editing techniques that can help you to overcome some crucial flaw of your images.


Let’s think of an artist and a photographer. Both of them deal with visual art. One paints with his imagination and another take the shot of reallife. A photographer’s had is more limited with comparison to an artist in general sense since the artist can paint as he wishes. Most of the times the photographer wishes to see his image a bit changed or modified like creating the missing part of an image to suit it with his artistic imagination.


Here comes the use of photo manipulationtechnique. It makes an image complete by manipulating any missing part of an image. It was quite complex task to do it in past but recently there are several photo editing program to accomplish the task easily like Photoshop, Image Resizer Powertoy , and Faststone photo resize. Though Adobe Photoshop is quite expensive it’s the best program to achieve the desired image.


There is wide range of scope of improving an image by applying photo manipulation technique. It can improve the photo by adjusting color, removing unnecessary wrinkles and fold, fixing tag, adding ghost effect or ghost mannequin etc. Ghost effect/neck insert is the most popular and powerful task of image manipulation technique. Background removing tools, eraser tools and wrap tools are used mostly while doing it in Photoshop.


Ghost effect can be accomplished by using several other photo editing programs as well but Photoshop is the best one. You can easily learn the step of manipulating the images with this program. In order to be an expert and professional you have to exercise frequently and learn the advanced technique of image manipulation.

Clipping path works as the pedestal of Different Photo editing service


Photoshop clipping path is the most basic and frequently applied photo editing method. The question of the need for accomplishing it while editing a photo in Adobe Photoshop may rise frequently. Someone may ask why clipping path is needed for my photo. No worry, it is as simple as the necessity of water for human being to survive. In most of the photo editing services like background removal, drop shadow, mirror effect, photo manipulation, color correction etc, it plays an inevitable role.
A digital photo editing studio knows well how important role it plays in preparing a photo for final use. Nowadays, most of the commerce or business is based on internet or website. The rise of e-commerce makes our lives more convenient. Now, we can see the product in details by clicking on our internet browsing device. Image along with product description creates the sense of virtual presence of a product. Hereby, an image or a portrait can't be used on website for business purpose just after taking the shot. It requires the touch of specialized photo editor's hand. The case is also true in terms of the photos for printing use as well.
The first step of photo enhancement is to replace the existing background of the raw photo with the most suitable one. In order to replace the existing background professionally it is applied in most cases. Moreover, Photoshop masking technique is needed to remove the background of the images with fur or hair. A professional DTP will know it very well how clipping path is also needed to accomplish masking task.
Once the image is set on a suitable background it needs some other advanced photo editing services like drop shadow, photo manipulation, color correction etc. In order to create natural drop shadow the image editor has to draw clipping path to determine the shape of the shadow effect. In case of mirror effect it's must to clip the subject of the photo. If some or any of the existing color of the subject needs to be modified it requires clipping path as well. Malty-path is the ultimate solution of this type of color correction. It allows to select each color separately and modify as desired by using different color correction options. If any part of the photo is destined to be manipulated, clipping path is drawn to level the edge or to cut and paste the desired portion from another supplementary file. Suppose the missing part (neck behind the dummy) of a t-shirt image is to be filled or manipulated. A photo editor must draw clipping path while accomplishing the task.

Thus, clipping path service plays the most important role in different photo editing steps of image enhancement procedure. As a photo editor I feel really thankful to the pen tool that works like the touch stone to the photo editors around the world. In Photoshop, pen tool is as strong as the use of pen in our real life. I would love to suggest the people who are willing to be a good photo editor to master the pen tool first before working with any other tools in Photoshop.
