Combining svg clipping path with image

[madjufra]

Hi,

I have been searching wide and tall on the internet and cannot come up with a good solution.

I am using an online AI tool to generate clipping paths. This tool can either generate the clipping path as an SVG or generate a tiff in which the clipping path is embedded.

The problem I have is that in order to remove the background using this tool I use the Clip method on the MagickImage. This, however, only works if the clip path have a name

MagickImage image = new MagickImage("<some image>");
var clipPaths = image.Get8BimProfile()?.ClipPaths.ToList() ?? [];
  
if (clipPaths.Count > 0)
{
    image.Alpha(AlphaOption.Transparent);
    foreach (var clipPath in clipPaths)
    {
        image.Clip(clipPath.Name);
        image.Alpha(AlphaOption.Opaque);
        image.RemoveWriteMask();
    }
}

image.Write("<some new image>");

The above works for the most parts, but if the Clipping path does not have a name, then it fails to initiate the clipPaths because the name is empty.

I have reached out to the company creating the tiff with the embedded clipping-path but they claim they cannot do anything.

As I see it I have to options

1. Somehow give the path a name - which I cannot figure out
2. Use the svg option to get the clipping-path and then embed it.

I have tried the latter from a previous question posted in here, but you leave the operation to the reader and I cannot figure that out

#492

I have created a small zip containing three files

1. The original JPG
2. The svg containing the clipping path for the original jpg
3. a Tiff file with a clipping path without a name

files.zip

I am hoping you can help me out here.

It looks like you found a bug/missing feature in this part of the code. I just pushed a patch that will resolve this issue and you should get the clipping paths in the next release.
