Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 644 Modify a TIFF clipping path in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now this week, we're getting old-school.…We're going to talk about clipping paths…that you prepare inside Photoshop…and then you place along with an image file…into a vector-based program such as…Illustrator, InDesign, what have you.…Now to understand what's going on,…you have to imagine that we have two people,…and I'm going to call Bob and Gerta, let's say.…It doesn't matter, but those are their names.…So Bob is preparing the image.…He wants it to be more valuable…because he wants to sell it as a stock image,…so he wants to include a mask along with the file.…
So to that end, he meticulously traces around the image,…as we can see here, using Photoshop's pen tool,…and then he saves the image as a flat TIFF file…along with a clipping path,…which is a very kind thing to do…because that way, anyone who comes across this image file…will find it automatically masked.…They don't have to go to all of that effort.…So along comes Gerta, she downloads the file…
