Experiment with Tolerance: Adjust the tolerance level to fine-tune the path and ensure accurate results.

Use Pen Tool: For complex shapes, the Pen Tool offers the most control.

Be Patient: Creating a precise clipping path may require some trial and error.

Applying the Clipping Path – Once you’re satisfied with the path, click “OK” to apply it to the image.

Refining the Path – You can further refine the path by adjusting parameters like “Threshold” and “Tolerance.” Experiment with these settings to achieve the desired level of precision.

Clipping Path Options – Go to the “Object” menu, choose “Clipping Path,” and then select “Options.” Here, you can choose between various types of clipping paths, such as “Detect Edges” or “Photoshop Path.”.

Select the Image – Click on the image to select it.

Open Your Document – Begin by opening your InDesign document and placing the image you want to work with into your layout.

Consistency: Maintain a consistent style and theme across your layout.

Removal of Backgrounds: Easily remove or replace backgrounds to make your subject stand out.

Customization: You can create unique shapes for your images, helping them fit seamlessly into your design.

Precision: Clipping paths allow you to precisely define the edges of objects within an image, resulting in a clean and polished look.

This technique is commonly used to isolate objects or subjects within an image, remove unwanted backgrounds, or create custom shapes.

A clipping path is a vector-based outline that defines which parts of an image are visible and which are hidden or “clipped” when placed within a frame in InDesign.
