Clipping Path simply means differentiating between the background and the subject in the same Image. It means separating subject (may be a human or objects) and the background. For example you are clicked with your lawn in the background, by using clipping path your same picture could be used with a variety of backgrounds , whatever you want whatever….

This is the most sought after and most frequently used technique of the Photoshop. Take anything like flyers, print ads, magazines, billboards, logos and the likes of these could not be complete without the use of this magical technique.

Every graphic designer and a Photoshop artist use this technique to bring their work to perfection. But it should be noted this is not easy as it seems to be because it takes a lot of practice and patience to master this art.

Clipping path is executed by using pen tool. This ensures the quality and all the pixels are maintained in the Image. It keeps images undistorted while taking them apart from their background.
