I use the latest exiftool version to get my clipping path name out of TIF file but it returns nothing.
I tried command: exiftool -PhotoshopPaths 162547-100_back.tif or even exiftool -v Photoshop:All 162547-100_back.tif but there's no information of any path
Please help!
You can get my file here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19A3ySKGBpdC-EVisQIpVx32aWcn3r9JC
See the first example in this config file (https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/blob/master/config_files/photoshop_paths.config).

Thank you, Phil!
I believe that I have previously used -clippingpathname for a saved/clipping path, and -workingpath for an unsaved work path, however, this was in the context of "doing something" and not just returning the name.
Another couple of path tag examples:
Conditionally Process If an image has a Photoshop work path or a saved path/clipping path entry, moving the processed files to new sub-folders within the source folder:
exiftool -if '$workingpath' -directory=%d'Photoshop Work Paths' -execute -if '$originpathinfo' -directory=%d'Photoshop Saved Paths' -common_args -u -r 'FILEorDIR'

Oh yes! This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in days! Thanks! ImageMagick is apparently unable to show this.
@Phil - in Photoshop, one of multiple paths in a JPG can be the "active" path. This information is stored in the image too, as metadata I guess. I wonder if it's possible to extract this with exiftool?
I have attached an image with two paths "Path 1" and "Snyd". The first one is the active path.
Thanks,
Nik
Hi Nik,
Try this:
exiftool -clippingpathname FILE

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! 👍
Hi Phil,
As a follow-up to this great feature:
Is it possible in exiftool to write / set a path as an active clipping path?
So this reads the clipping path name:
exiftool -clippingpathname FILE
And I'm looking for a way to activate an existing path as clipping path.
No, sorry. ExifTool doesn't have the ability to write clipping path information.
