Editing paths (Photoshop)


    A path is composed of one or more path components--collections of one or more anchor points joined by segments.

    Because they take up less disk space than pixel-based data, paths can be used for long-term storage of simple masks. Paths can also be used to clip sections of your image for export to an illustration or page-layout application. (See Using image clipping paths to create transparency.)
