boundary using automatic edge detection. (To adjust edge detection, select the object and choose Object > Clipping

background or create and save one or more alpha channels with the image.Photoshop PathGenerates the boundary

Photoshop Path option isn’t available, no named paths were saved with the image.Graphic FrameGenerates the
