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.
