Creating an Embedded Clipping Path

Select the Background or Other Portion of Your Image

Use the magic wand or other selection tools to isolate all parts of the background.

In our example, using the magic wand makes quick work of selecting the sky and clouds. Sometimes, this method will yield good results but you might need to make fine adjustments using other selection tools or after converting your selection to a path (in step 4).
