What is a Clipping Path (Deep Etch)?

A clipping path (commonly known as Deep Etching) is a closed vector shape or mask used to cut out a 2D image. Unlike automated AI, our hand-drawn paths use Bezier curves in Adobe Photoshop to ensure smooth, natural edges that maintain the integrity of your product.

Why Manual over AI?

Automated tools often create jagged edges. Manual deep etching ensures pixel-perfect precision for high-end catalogs and large-scale print media.

Multi-Path Solutions

Isolate different parts of a single image (e.g., shoe laces vs. soles) for easier color correction and retouching later in your workflow.
