Placing Photoshop images in other applications

(Photoshop)
Photoshop provides a number of features to help you use images in other applications.
You can use image clipping paths to define transparent areas in images you place in page-
layout applications. In addition, Mac OS users can embed Photoshop images in many
word-processor files.
For assistance with image clipping paths, choose Help > Export Transparent Image.
This interactive wizard helps you prepare images with transparency for export to a
page-layout application.
Using image clipping paths to create transparency
You may want to use only part of a Photoshop image when printing it or placing it in
another application. For example, you may want to use a foreground object and exclude
the background. An image clipping path lets you isolate the foreground object and make
everything else transparent when the image is printed or placed in another application.
Image imported into Illustrator without image clipping path, and with image clipping path
To save a path as an image clipping path:
1 Draw a work path that defines the area of the image you want to show. For more infor-
mation, see "Creating a work path (Photoshop)" on page 201

Note: Paths are vector-based; therefore, they have hard edges. You cannot preserve the
softness of a feathered edge, such as in a shadow, when creating an image clipping path.
