In
computer graphics terminology, clipping path is a term that refers to the creation of an image with compositing one or
more images in it. Basically, tracing out a shape by pen tool in Photoshop is
termed as applying clipping paths to that image which means to cut it from the
background in order to use it in some other image. On the contrary, the alpha
channel saves the selection like a grayscale mask which is editable. For
instance, if a part of the image is selected, the unselected area is masked or you
can say it is protected while you perform editing on the selected image and
apply effects on it. This selection can be saved permanently with an alpha
channel.
There
are some differences between clipping
paths and alpha channel as mentioned below:
·
Alpha channel or simply transparency is applied to objects having
soft edges, and feathering whereas clipping
paths are used for objects that have hard edges
·
Clipping
paths are
used to isolate or protect the area of an image while those masks are stored in
alpha channel.

existence but the alpha channel is actually a mask and it is a 32-bit graphic
transparency system that consists of four channels including 8-bit channel each
for red, green and blue and one 8-bit for alpha channel.
·

channels can be edited just like other images.
