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.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

How big is your pocket? ;)

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
