Hello Aurigma team,
I want to create a new image with clipping paths from other images. I came up with:
Code:

public void TransferClippingPath()
{
    using (var reader = ImageReader.Create(@""))
    {
        var clippingPath = reader.ClippingPaths.First();
        var path = Path.Create(clippingPath, 256, 256);
                
        using (var maskGen = new  ImageGenerator(reader, RgbColor.Transparent))
        using (var writer = new TiffWriter(@"..\Result.tif"))
        {
            writer.Setup(new TiffSettings(CompressionType.Lzw));
                    
            maskGen.GraphicsContainer = new GraphicsContainer(maskGen);
            maskGen.GraphicsContainer.GetGraphics().ClippingPaths.Add(path);
            (maskGen + writer).Run();
        }
    }
}

, but there is no path at all in the result. How do I accomplish this? What do I have to do, if I want paths from multiple images in the new one?

Regards
Sebastian

Sebastian,

Which way do you check whether an image has a clipping path? Do you use Adobe Photoshop?
Best regards,

Greetings Fedor,
Yes, I did use Photoshop, but I also used
Code:

using (var reader = ImageReader.Create(@"..\Result.tif"))
{
    var cpcount = reader.ClippingPaths.Count; //ClippingPaths is null, throws System.NullReferenceException
}

which throws a System.NullReferenceException.

Regards
Sebastian

I got it. You should use clipping paths stored in Adobe image resource blocks:

https://www.graphicsmill.com/doc...pping-path.htm#copyingCP

The AdvancedGraphics.ClippingPaths property should be used to specify a clipping zone during drawing.
Best regards,
