What is a clipping path and why? Post #11 | | Guest |  What is a clipping path and why?
Excellent explanations [righton]
9 times out of 10 selection to Path conversion will need quite a bit of cleanup on the path itself to be worth using.
Also shift click to turn a mask off,and Opt or ALT click to see just your mask in the document window.

| Unfortunte but true... 
Because PS is a pixel based program and is 'screen resolution dependent', to avoid some really nasty 'clean up work', you have to work in high resolution!  | |

True, it can be a bit messy. If for some reason I want to make a path from a selection I usually right click on the Selection and choose "Make Work Path" - that way I can use the dialogue box to enter in my settings and try to make it less messy.

There's already a smooth tool in PS7. Got to Select>Modify>Smooth.

In most cases, smoothing cannot replace cleanup work on the mask. So you'll have to do it manually.
