creating clipping path

[harry]

If I create a path by selecting the background with the magic wand, is there a method of turning the outlined graphic into a clipping path?
When I create the path, the clipping option remains greyed out.
I simply want the background to become transparent, using Photoshop EPS format - I can't take the easy way out by having separate layers, as I need to keep manipulating the complete image in Quark.

Hi Harry, Welcome to EW.

You can invert the selection and delete the bits you don't need. EPS will give you good scaling on a vertor image, not very good for a rasterised image. Postscript files are mostly used in print, not web based graphics (unless its a vector).
