Hello All,
I'm facing weird problem with Clipping path. I see no record in EXIFtool outpt that stands for Clipping path (results down below)
I prepared 3 examples of files where i know that clipping path is available, but not recognizable by any tool beside original and new Photoshop (i checked with photophea and paths are not visible there).
My examples files are here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ik2RxicY0K5lUYh8N5xvwBqRJT1CfEKS/view?usp=share_link
I tested by pt2093sr....jpg file with https://clippingmagic.com/ and this tool can recognize "marks" and apply them as clipping path. Does it mean that we need another process to check if clipping path is there? Is it possible that Photoshop doesn't write this info into EXIF as default?
