Clipping Path

A clipping path is a technique used in image editing software to isolate a specific part of an image or to remove its background. It involves creating a path or outline around the desired area or object, effectively creating a mask or selection that can be edited independently of the rest of the image.

Clipping paths are often used in graphic design, advertising, and e-commerce to create images with transparent backgrounds or to place an object on a different background. This technique is commonly used in product photography where the background is removed to create a clean, white background, which is ideal for e-commerce websites.

Clipping paths can be created manually using software like Adobe Photoshop or by using automated tools. When a clipping path is applied to an image, the area outside of the path is effectively masked, and any edits or adjustments made to the image only affect the area within the path.
