A Guide to QuarkXPress 2022 | 396

Working with clipping paths

A clipping path is a closed Bézier shape that indicates which parts of a picture

should be displayed and which parts should be treated as transparent. Clipping

paths are especially useful when you are attempting to isolate the picture’s

subject from its surrounding background in the original picture ﬁle.

You can create clipping paths from scratch in QuarkXPress or QuarkCopyDesk,

or you can use embedded path or alpha channel information to create clipping

paths. Clipping paths created by QuarkXPress or QuarkCopyDesk are based on

the picture ﬁle, and are stored with the layout.

A clipping path lets you control which parts of a picture show and which parts are hidden.

Creating clipping paths

To create or assign a clipping path, choose Item > Clipping on Windows, and

then choose an option from the Type drop-down menu, or use the Clipping tab

on the Measurements palette on Mac OS X:

Choose Item to crop an image to the box boundaries. Choosing Item does ●

not create a clipping path; it simply crops the picture to its box.

Choose Item to crop an image to the picture component boundaries. ●

Choosing Item does not create a clipping path; it simply crops the picture to

its picture component.

Choose Embedded Path to clip a picture around a path already embedded in ●

the picture ﬁle. Choose a path from the Path drop-down menu if the picture

ﬁle contains more than one embedded path.
