Quick links to procedures on this page:
Clipping paths let you create non-rectangular images by outlining the area selected by a path, and making the rest of the image transparent when the image is viewed in another application. For example, if you have a Corel PHOTO-PAINT image of a vase on a table, you can create a clipping path around the vase and export the vase image area to another application. If you do not use a clipping path, the entire image is encased in a square or rectangular frame, losing the shape of the vase area.
To send a clipping path to another application, you must export the contents of the path as an encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file.
