Or do you need to outsource to Burma or Omaha or something?

Magnetic lasso tool and eraser... that's all you'll ever need.

Of course I hear that you can send your files overseas and have sweat shop school children with advanced pen tool skills do that for ya.

Second Old Women:
Why did you say Burma?

First Old Women:

Export my clipping path work to some other shop? I don't think so. Sounds like
a wonderful service to offer ON A WEB SITE THAT ISN"T FILLED WITH PEOPLE
THAT MAKE THEIR LIVING OFF OF DOING IT!

Oh, by the way, anyone that wants me to walk their clients through setting up
files can PM me the client's name, address, phone number. Just think of the time
I'll save you by taking your work :twisted:

You should take the clipping path to enlightenment. Such anger, we should clip that as soon as we can.

colorexpertsbd,

Why don't you contact Cory and buy some ad space? That'd at least show a little class.

Boy am I glad I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop Pentool! Wouldn't want my clipping path getting stuck in Asia due to an earthquake or tsunami. Thanks, but I'll hang onto my own Pentool for now.

Pen tool, air brush, magic eraser. Thanks Adobe. Making Masks and Clipping Paths is my idea of fun.

I love making clipping paths too with only the pen tool.

I'd always recommend that the first thing anyone in this business should learn is the pen tool. It's the best way to do many chores in my opinion in Photoshop, Illustrator and now Indesign. Quark's clipping path tools suck.
