How to create a clipping path in PE12

I work in Photoshop but am helping a client who has only Elements 12, which I know nothing about other than what looks like PS features.
We want to create a clipping PATH around part of a photo and save the photo as a JPG so that type wraps around it in our layout program. I can do this in PS CC, but this response (Re: Trying to create a Clipping Path for a Photo In PE10. How is it done?) says PE can save only to PSD or TIF. I have a jpg photo with a clipping path that works fine, but can't get PE to save the clipping path with the jpg.
Thanks.

If you don't mind telling us, which layout program are you using?
Yes, by default creating a Clipping Path in photoshop elements does not exist.
That's why you would need to create/record an action using photoshop cc and then use the action in photoshop elements using Window>Actions
Something like this:

[AI CS4 Mac] How to create a Compound Path?

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to create a compound path in AI CS4 for Mac, but I have not been successful. One would think this would be easy, so maybe I'm missing the obvious solution...
What is best way to create a compound path using the SDK? I just need to make a compound path out of two non-overlapping rectangles so that I can create a clipping mask. Nothing tricky.
The SDK is not clear about the best way to go about creating a compound path, but I figured that programmitically selecting the two rectanlges and then using the built in "adobe_makeCompound" action would work, but it doesn't.
err = sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent("adobe_makeCompound", kDialogNone, NULL);
When the above code is called while I'm debugging, I get a dialog box that reads: The object "Make Compound Path" is not currently available.
If I click the "Stop" button while debugging, the value of err is 1346458189 which is 'PARM'. So, maybe I need to set a parameter? The crazy thing is that there appears to be no parameters needed for the "adobe_makeCompound" action event. When I created the action manually, the resulting .aia file (see its contents below) has a parameterCount == 0. I've tried passing a parameter block without adding any parameters to it (instead of NULL), but still no joy.

                    /parameterCount 0
Any help or suggestions on how to create a compound path would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Actually, here's a more useful variation
// rectangle1 & rectangle2 are the AIArtHandles for your existing paths
AIArtHandle compound = 0;
sArt->NewArt(kCompoundPathArt, kPlaceAbove, rectangle1, &compound);
sArt->sReorderArt(rectangle1, kPlaceInsideOnTop, compound);
sArt->sReorderArt(rectangle2, kPlaceInsideOnTop, compound);
// this will create the compound right next to wherever rectangle1 is, much simpler and more likely what you want

What's the fastest way to create a clipping path?

In CS3 & 4 I've created a bazillion clipping paths via pen tool and mouse. I've also tried using the various selection tools to create selections, then turning those selections into paths and modifying the path. I've roughed in paths then zoomed way up to fine tune them.
Is there any plug-in or other slick method to create clipping paths real quickly? Maybe a Wacom pen would work quicker than a mouse? I haven't tried that. I've tried everything else I can think of.
I happened to notice there are online services that charge like $2.00 to create a clipping path for you. So that either has to be from slave labor or someone has figured out a real fast way to do it.
I'm sorry to repeat a question if it's been answered before. I searched for clipping paths in the Photoshop forum and Adobe returned 0 results.

A Wacom tablet is a must. If you are doing lots of clipping paths, avoid carpel-tunnel, and get the work done easier and faster using the Wacom. I've tried all the sizes and I use a 4x5 because it's all the real estate you need, even on 30" monitors. Other than that, there is no software that thinks like a human can in making discretionary choices. Just get the Wacom and roll. You'll have that pen tool motating at full throttle and even make the labor enjoyable.
Be sure to take your customary 20 minute ergonomic breaks to let your eyes focus and +20 feet away.
Best,
Ken

I want to know how to create a Virtual Path in My Application !!!

Alias can never be mount, but the virtual drive I want to create must be able to mount and unmount.
Desktop having both original and virtual drive.
My system is booted from 'Snow leopard' and I've an another drive, name 'Disk Testing' so by using a software I create the virtual drivre of 'Disk Testing' as you can see in the image. Both the drives are identical to each other and both are able to mount and unmount, they are having same data and attributes.
So I want to create exactly this kind of virtual drive by using any apple script or command.i.e without using any software.

How do I get clipping paths to work in PhotoShop CS5?

I've always used clipping paths to pull-out parts of images that I then save as eps files and bring into other images.
For some reason, I can't get CS5 PS to capture only the path I created, instead it continues to capture the entire image.
I normally create a path with the pen tool, save the path, identify it with the Clipping Path from the dropdown, then save out as an EPS. Has worked thousands of times for me in previous versions of PhotoShop, but not with CS5.
Anyone else encounter this problem or have a solution?

Ok, I did that but it's still reacting the same way. So I need to start from scrtach and build a new path? That can't b
e. When I make the change and hit selection I am still getting an inverted selection. See.

How to create a clip mask for a group?

I have created a hue/saturation adjust that I want to use as clip mask for a group of layers. How do I do that? I can create a single layer clip mask of hue/saturation but not a whole group of layers.

You can nest it with its adjustment layer in another group and set that group to normal (instead of pass through). But setting the second group to normal may affect any blending you have going on in the first group.

How to Create a Clipping Mask with LIVE TEXT?

Please, please, pease...there's has to be a way to do this.
I'm currently working on a project in which I have a background that has a large text layer above it. What I want to do is create a sort of "dynamic" clipping mask that essentially subtracts the shape of the text from the background yet remains editable as text in case I need to change the word or font.
However every way I've tried so far as been met with the backgrouns instead being constrained inside of the shape of the text...which is NOT what I want.
How can I do this while still having the text able to be edited?

An Opacity mask will work, but it will also move artwork from various layers to one layer.
You can get the same effect with a Layer Clipping mask and keep objects on their layers.
In this example only one layer is clipped, but you can drag as may as you want below the clipping layer.

How to create a relative path for Flash video on a CDROM

Hello - I need to distribute a web site to a client on a
cross-platform Hybrid CDROM so that they can edit and make
adjustments. This website also includes 2 flash videos that need to
be included on the CDROM.
My problem is this: I encoded the video in the Flash Encoder
app and brought them into the main Flash app for conversion into
swf files. I also used the media controller parameter to add a
control skin to the movies. I now have 2 swf files associated with
the flv video file, and I understand that all 3 of these must stay
together for the video to work properly. The video plays correctly
along with the controller skin on my Mac however only the
controller shows up but no video on the CDROM. I believe that this
has something to do with absolute vs. relative file paths for the
video flv file to the swf controller file.
I do not know how to change this path - I know "where" to
change it within the controller parameter options box but do not
know what syntax exactly to place here. How do you specify a
relative path here? When I try to do it I get an error saying that
the flv file cannot be found.
I am trying to use the following syntax: /video/welding.flv
where video is the name of the folder and welding is the name of
the file. I have done numerous Google searches on this subject and
stil cannot find an answer, so any help is appreciated.

OK - I assigned the FLVPlayback component the instance name
of videoPlayer to keep it simple. And I copied the above code into
an Actions - Frame on Frame 1. FYI - The name of the video has been
changed from welding to Timet Sponge.
Now I get the following error messages:
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 1: 1119:

How to create result file path and name in teststand

Hi,
I would like to create specific path(folder) and file name to result files. For example ..\date\ArticleNr\DateTimeSerialNr.xml. Thank you very much in adance.
Kri.

Kri,
You can use Configure >> Report Options, and then select the Report File Pathname tab to configure where your reports will end up, and what the file name will be. If you want to have these be different for each sequence, then add the ReportOptions Callback to each sequence and then modify the settings in the Parameters.ReportOptions container to what you want.
This link may also be helpful as it talks about what you're are trying to do: Report File Name

How to create many clip region in the same time?

I want to create JIGSAW game?
There are 9 clip in display.
When player press any number, that number will appear.

A very short look in the MIDP API docs (Graphics.class) and there would be the solution:
"There is a single clip per Graphics object. The only pixels modified by graphics operations are those that lie within the clip. Pixels outside the clip are not modified by any graphics operations. "

How to create a file path in OS X Mavericks that works like a link.

Hello,
In earlier OS, I was able to copy and paste file path (which becomes a link) into an email. Once the recipient received the email, click on the link and takes directly to the location of the file. Since I've updated to OS X Mavericks, copy and paste with link intact doesn't work.
Is there a work-around to this problem.
Thanks!

LiveType, how to create a motion path?

Hello again! I couldn't find an answer to this question in LiveType Central - if anyone here could help I would appreciate it!
I am trying to do a simple maneuver in LiveType - To have text scroll onto the middle of the screen and then travel upwards to the left corner. This is simple to do in FCE, and I understand keyframes in LT, just not able to do this move. Any ideas? I'm sure I'm missing a basic step somewhere! Thank you!

Hey there, when you have your text track go up to 'Track' and then 'Add Effect' a purple bar should apper underneath your text track. Postion your text were you want it to start and then go back to 'Track' and click 'Add Keyframe' move your time line to how long you want it and then move your text.
P.S: You have to move you timeline 1 secound before you add the first keyframe, if you get stuck then i'll give you some screen shots.
