Clipping path in photoshop

[jj0inkdrop]

i am placing tiff file with clipping path in to Pagemaker but some files will read clipping and some won't.
does anyone know why some of the photoshop clipping paths are acitve and some don't.

i am not sure what i am missing.
i create all the paths in same way on all the images.
please help...
thnx

for more details, i am using CS2.
is it possible that when i use older version of photoshop files work well on clipping paths and the CS2 files are not?

Could you possibly have layers without the path?

no.
i saved them as tiffs and i see clipping paths.
i even tried saving them as tiffs with layers and as eps.
i just don't understand why it won't read my clipping paths.


i am using windows XP

Windows or Mac shouldn't make any differnce here. I'd try opening one of the pice with the non-functioning path, do a SAVE AS, dump the path, and carefully redo it, resave as tiff - carfully noting your steps and see what happens.

Usually, when you have some things working and others not working, you forgot some simple little step somewhere. I've got weakness in vector applicationw where i always forget to switch from the fill color to the stroke color, so something ends up being a blue fill instead of a blue stroke. So I have to redo it. Goofs happen
