If you want to add a clipping mask to an image in Photoshop, there are a few different ways to go about it. The first way is to use the Clipping Mask dialog box. To do this, open the Clipping Mask dialog box by selecting it from the Tools menu or by pressing Ctrl+Clicking on an image with the Selection tool active. To add a clipping mask, first select the area of the image that you want to protect. Next, click on the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Clipping Mask dialog box. This will open up a new window where you can specify which parts of your image will be protected by the mask. To protect all of your image, simply click on the checkbox next to “All.” If you only want part of your image to be masked, then click on one of the other checkboxes and specify which part of your image you want to protect. Once you’ve selected which parts of your image will be protected, simply click on OK in order to close out of the Clipping Mask dialog box and save your changes. ..
