How to create a smooth and perfect Clipping Path in Photoshop
Step 1: Launch
the Photoshop software. Now open your image which you'd like to create a clipping path for remove background in
Photoshop.
Step 2: First,
check all icon palettes in your Photoshop software. If you can't see the
"Path" icon click the window menu in the menu bar. Then click the
"Paths". Now it's should be visible in your Photoshop area. It's
could help you to create and maintain a clipping path around the subject or
image.
Step 3: Select
the "Pen Tool (P)" from your main toolbar which should be visible on
your left side in Photoshop. You can also select it to shortcut by clicking the
"P" button on the keyboard.
Step 4: Now
click the “Create new path” menu in the “Paths” icon palette. After that, you
will have a "Path 1" where you can create a clipping path for any
subject or image. Otherwise, you will have “work path”. I suggest to create it
in Path 1 according to my before sentence. Also, you can change work path to
Path 1 by double-clicking on it.
Step 5: Zoom
in the photo in a better view. 300% or 400% is the best for creating a smooth clipping path. Here navigator icon
palette will help to show the zooming. Navigator icon palette finds in the
window menu.
Step 6: Now
start creating or drawing a path around your photos perfectly. The first point
should be to start from easy shape or edge. Continue drawing your path around
the whole image edge until you reach the first point. If you need to create
another drawing for the same image. Just start again same as the first step and
complete it.
Step 7: Select
it after complete creating your path around the subject. Right-click on “Path
1” and hit the make selection option. Now you have a new dialogue box and press
the “OK” button with Feather Radius 0.2 or 0.3 pixels. Feather should depend on
image resolution. Select it to shortcut by holding on “Ctrl” + click “Path 1”
in paths icon palette.
Step 8: Press
the “Layer” menu in the menu bar then there go-to "New" and click on
the "Layer via Copy" option. New layer created with the image and
without the original background in the “Layer” icon palette. But the “Layer”
icon palette should be visible. If not, get it from the Window menu same as
other icon palettes.
[Select it to shortcut by
clicking “Ctrl + J” in the keyboard]
Step 9: Close
the eye for the “Background” layer. Now the image has no background. That’s
mean the image has a transparent background. Save it in PNG format if you want
without background.
For white or any solid color
background.
Step 10: Create
a new blank layer in the “Layer” palette below Layer 1. Select a solid color
from the adjustment layer option and choose the exact color which you want.
Step 11: Save
it with Ctrl+Shift+S in your necessary file format.
