Creating an Embedded Clipping Path

By Jacci Howard Bear, About.com Guide

Editing a path is very much like editing objects in a vector drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. You can add and delete nodes and move lines and curves to achieve just the shape you want.

In our example, editing the path allows us to follow the line of the building as loosely or as tightly as we wish.
