A clipping path is a way of isolating an object from the image background.  The clipping path can be used in one of two ways: to select the image so you can copy and paste it where you need it  OR to hide the background when the object is imported into a page layout program.

The clipping paths included with the images on the CD have been created in such a way as to eliminate the white halo which often accompanies objects on a white background.

The flatness level of the clipping path is what determines how smooth the edge will be when the image is output.  Settings of 1 to 5 device pixels are typical settings.  Lower numbers will give a smoother path.  The flatness level of the images on the CD is 3.  If you want to change the settings in Adobe Photoshop®, open the image, select Window, Show Paths.  Then in the paths palette, select Clipping Path and change the device pixels to what you need.
