Detect Edges
Generates the boundary using automatic edge detection. (To adjust edge detection, select the object and choose Object > Clipping Path >
Options.)
Alpha Channel
Generates the boundary from an alpha channel saved with the image. If this option isn’t available, no alpha channels were saved with the
image. InDesign recognizes the default transparency in Adobe Photoshop (the checkerboard pattern) as an alpha channel; you must
otherwise use Photoshop to delete the background or create and save one or more alpha channels with the image.
Photoshop Path
Generates the boundary from a path saved with the image. Choose Photoshop Path, and then choose a path from the Path menu. If the
Photoshop Path option isn’t available, no named paths were saved with the image.
Graphic Frame
Generates the boundary from the container frame.
Same As Clipping
Generates the boundary from the imported image’s clipping path.
