Re: Copying clipping paths in CS2?

Yeah, right mouse click (control click) on your image with a path and drag down to "Convert path to a frame". Then select the image with the direct selection tool and delete it. All that will be left is the frame. Now you can fill it or whatever.
You may want to duplicate your image first so you don't lose it.

Cheers,
