ThanksCreating PathsThere are three paths you can take when creating paths (sorry, I couldn't resist):Create a path directly from a selection you've already made.Create a path from scratch by using the Pen tools and drawing the path by hand.Create a path using the Shape tools.Paths via SelectionsDepending on the image at hand, simply making a selection and converting it to a path can be the easiest and quickest way to create apath.Let's look at an example. Figure 13.1 shows the test image, a tire gauge. We'll select the object, and make what's called clipping a path,clipping it out of the background. Without <strong>Photoshop</strong>, you would achieve the same effect with a photographic print and a pair ofscissors.Figure 13.1. The test image. The goal is a clipping path that outlines the gauge.
