Clipping paths from magic wand selection

Question

I've been looking through dozens of tutorials but even the one's that mention this they all assume you know how to do it. All I would like to do is turn a selection made using either the magic wand tool or the other selection tools/methods and turn that into a clipping path.

This is the selection i've made with the magic wand tool:

Also is their any way to turn a whole layers contents into clipping paths? For example I have that image on it's own layer with no background, could I turn everything on that layer into a clipping path?

Clipping paths for this kind of thing as far as i'm aware is the only way to import images into quarkxpress with no backgrounds.

thanks
sam

Hey Sam, if I'm not mistaken you simply have to make your selection, then select make "work path" from the Path window, next you save the path and then select "clipping path" from the Path window and select the saved path's name.

I would think this would work with layer selections as well.

Hope this helps...
