Title: CLIPPING PATHS IN IMAGES
Post by: Alsie_ICP on December 02, 2020, 08:15:17 AM
Hi all,
I am totally new to this so am looking for guidance and help if possible.
Looking to find out if there is a way to search through possibly 100's of photoshop images to see if they have a clipping paths on without opening them in photoshop?
Is this possible and is there a guide on how to do it? And can it sort them in to 2 folders (this with and those without)

Thanks

Try this
exiftool -if "$ClippingPathName" "-Directory=/path/to/ClippingPathImages/" /path/to/files/

That will move any file containing a ClippingPathName to a new directory.  If on Mac/Linux, swap double/single quotes.
