Second InDesign Layout Project: Create a Clipping Path

Step one: Using the magic wand selection tool, select the negative space around the headphones.
Use the shift key to select all of the big white spaces.

Step two: After all the negative space is selected, Select the Inverse to select only the headphones.

Step three: After the inverse image is selected, select Make Work Path from the panel menu.

Step four: After the work path is made, save it as a Path. It will default name to "Path 1."

Step five: Now, this work path (Path 1) will need to be saved as a clipping path. Don't enter anything into the "flatness" textbox.

Step six: Now, this work path (Path 1) is a clipping path. You can tell by the outline around "Path 1".

Class Critique: We will have a "before" and "after" critique at the end of the project.
