Introduction

Clipping Path is a method used in retouching photos and image editing or correction. Basically, this technique is used to remove unwanted objects from the real image surrounding the targeted object. Let’s say, if someone takes a picture of Eiffel Tower, the picture will also cover the surrounding areas and objects such as the sky, etc. So, if the person wants to capture only the tower excluding the surrounding, Clipping Path is the best technique to do so. Using this technique will remove all surrounding objects from the original picture without affecting the quality of the original photograph.
