You can make automatic clipping paths with the ai plugin Auto Path Select from the Adobe Marketplace. It works great on subjects. It cuts down hours of creating clipping paths manually. Once in awhile you have to make a slight adjustment, but the AI and algorithm it uses is incredible.

The bigger problem is that Ai based fixes like Generative Fill, and Remove tool do their best to blend the fix into the background, and that does not gell with a hard edged vector mask.

Auto Path select lets me create smooth sharp hard edged clipping Paths unlike remove background and the other tools out there. It literally takes 2 seconds to create a 90 to 100% perfect sharp clipping Path these days with their plugin. It'a a secret tool so I don't have to use the Pen tool for hours but I still have to make minor adjustments if my freelance photographer didn't light the image great, but most of the time it is perfect.

Hi @Bakhtiar Uddin Generative Fill already creates a layer mask. What benefit would adding a clipping mask add?

Adding a hand-drawn clipping path to an image can have several benefits, depending on its user's specific context and purpose. The most common is it can help to create a more accurate and precise cut. This is because the pen tool allows the user to carefully trace the subject's edges, ensuring that no part of the background is included in the cut. This tutorial could be a great example to judge it! https://pathedits.com/blogs/tips/how-to-create-a-clipping-path-in-photoshop-2021

When I believe that the tool's results may vary depending on the image; if the image is complex or has a lot of detail, the common thing is that AI tools cannot create a perfect clipping path.

But I imagine the AI Generative Fill in Photoshop can be a great way to quickly and easily create hand-drawn clipping paths.
