Hauke Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We frequently edit JPEG files and apply rough clipping paths to isolate things from the background: Draw path Click the "Mask" button in the upper left cmd+s for in-place saving When I now re-open the file, the background parts of the picture, outside my path, are gone, replaced with the background color. This means, that I can't do any refinement to my clipping path. If I replace step 3 by export with activated clipping option, the background layer is saved as it was and the clipping path can be altered without loss. This is a workaround, but requires us to re-link the new file in the layout. Especially in the workflow with our editorial system, this really annoying. And not necessary when using Photoshop. Requirement: Offer the possibility to save in-place like when exporting with clipping path option. Krustysimplex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted July 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hey Hauke, I see what you mean—I'll check this out with the developers. To me, 'Convert to paths' when saving seems like the same thing as checking 'Convert clips to paths' in the Export dialog but we are clearly getting a different result.
