A clipping path (or "deep etch") is a closed vector path, or shape, used to cut out a 2D image in image editing software.

Anything inside the path will be included after the clipping path is applied; anything outside the path will be omitted from the output.

Applying the clipping path results in a hard (aliased) or soft (anti-aliased) edge, depending on the image editor's capabilitiesClipping path.

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS.

It was originally created in 1987 by Thomas and John Knoll.

Since then, the software has become the most used tool for professional digital art, especially in raster graphics editing.

The software's name is often colloquially used as a verb (e.g. "to photoshop an image", "photoshopping", and "photoshop contest") although Adobe discourages such use.

Freeware is software, most often proprietary, that is distributed at no monetary cost to the end user.

There is no agreed-upon set of rights, license, or EULA that defines freeware unambiguously; every publisher defines its own rules for the freeware it offers.

For instance, modification, redistribution by third parties, and reverse engineering are permitted by some publishers but prohibited by others.

Unlike with free and open-source software, which are also often distributed free of charge, the source code for freeware is typically not made available.

Freeware may be intended to benefit its producer by, for example, encouraging sales of a more capable version, as in the freemium and shareware business models.

Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms.

Originally, the names of these APIs all began with "Direct", such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth.

The name DirectX was coined as a shorthand term for all of these APIs (the X standing in for the particular API names) and soon became the name of the collection.

When Microsoft later set out to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology.

The X initial has been carried forward in the naming of APIs designed for the Xbox such as XInput and the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), while the DirectX pattern has been continued for Windows APIs such as Direct2D and DirectWrite.
