I have several high res scanned pieces of art work and text that need to be combined in a single sheet of A4 and sent to a printer as a CMYK/EPS file with transparant background. I understand that I need to have a clipping path saved with this file. And here is what Im struggling with: I spent quite some time to clean up the individual scans and have them now all available with vector masks and saved paths as Photoshop PSD files. I make a New document in PS CS2 (A4, 300 ppi) and drag all the individual scanned elements, including their vector masks, in. This way I end up with several layers + masks. All these vector masks show up in my Paths palette as well, and I can save each individual as a path. So far so good, but now what: how do I turn this into a file which can be saved as EPS and a clipping path? In other words, how do I combine all these paths (or vector masks) into one single path, which can be subsequently saved as a clipping path for output to EPS? Or is this approach overly complicated and might there be a simpler solution? Any help of this great forum is appreciated.
