1. Re: How make Cut-Out with Clipping Path?
p taz Oct 17, 2010 7:24 PM (in response to Mark A Goodwin)I don't think you can embed a clipping path in a jpg, but you can send a png
with transparency to suit web or low end print. (not recommended).
Usual method is .psd or .tiff with transparency or clipping path embedded.

2. Re: How make Cut-Out with Clipping Path?
c.pfaffenbichler Oct 18, 2010 1:07 AM (in response to Mark A Goodwin)cs_gott_typo_24-bg_1010Because when I flatten, I will lose any Paths or Channels.
What gave you that idea?
JPEG can contain paths, so what’s the problem?
I saved the path as a 'selection'.
Paths are Paths, not Selections – so what are you doing?
I have cut out the object using the pen tool (selected then removed background).
By deleting the surrounding areas (or filling them with white) you introduce an additional problem, namely that white may creep in at the edges.
Ideally you should instead manually create a bleed, but in any case I would advise against unnecessarily damaging the image.
Edit: To illustrate that point see attached screenshots (left: by removing/filling surrounding areas with white the pixels on the path’s edge are changed; right: a bleed should ascertain that possible registration deviations in cutting have less effect on the edges)
