What is Clipping Path?

Clipping path is the process where the Photoshop Pen Tool is used to draw lines along the subject and then it selects the subject and detaches other particles by detaching layers. You can add new layers to add a new background. The main purpose of the clipping path is to remove the background and add a new background. It easily removes the background and makes a transparent background.

Why Background removal is needed?

After transferring the image to another device the background may make look dull which makes the product look even duller which can make you lose sales. On E-commerce, the option is very important to have a clear background with the main focus on the product. When the background is dull neither it is the focus nor the product which can be changed with the background removal. Removing the background can change the focus to the product directly. You can choose different coloring background, patterned background, plain, gloomy or sharp backgrounds to make your product look amazing. But keep that in mind that you don’t make the background engulf the product by choosing the same color background. Use different color if the edges and the background matches then choose something that doesn’t match and look very vibrant also.

Other than that it also used in Color Correction where the individual part of the product is selected with the clipping path to correct the original color or to change the color completely. Changing color is dependent on the fixed design; if the design is the same but the product comes with a different color then it can be changed with the different color option as the real products are.
