Hi Everyone!

I've been using Ps on and of for a few years now as a hobby so I'm somewhat able to find my way around it.

Now for the actual question:

Why would you include paths in a jpeg?

Moreover why split it into several paths? I have a vague memory of paths beeing able to render for example a background transparent in say illustrator. Can that be it?

My reason for asking is that I work as a Digitalprinter operator and we have got a client that wants us to mask out objects in pictures and also in som cases separate them into paths.

I have got some suggestions that you could use paths in a layout program to make text flow around the path. However this seems strange in the examples I have got.

I've scaled down the example we got from the client and can post link to it after five post . Hopfully someone can send me an pm and help me out with this. 

Meanwhile I'll go post somewhere until I can add the link accourding to the rules. 

Thank you for your time.
