What is the difference between clip and extract by mask?

Clip only does a rectangular area (envelope) however extract by mask will extract to an irregular/multipart/doughnut polygon. If you want only the data in an extent use clip, it’s much faster, but if you need to trim to an irregular shape then use extract by mask.
 

What is Extract by mask Arcmap?

Extracts the cells of a raster that correspond to the areas defined by a mask.

How do I mask a layer in Arcmap?

To mask a layer, follow these steps:

  1. Choose one or more layers to be masked in the Contents pane.
  2. On the Feature Layer tab, in the Drawing group, click Masking .
  3. On the drop-down menu, check one or more layers in the list. The layers with check marks mask the selected layer.


How do I extract a polygon in Arcgis?

To extract based on a polygon feature that contains multiple disconnected parts, use the Extract By Mask tool. The center of the cell is used to determine whether a cell is inside or outside a polygon.

What would be an advantage to using a clipping mask instead of a layer mask?

In many cases this would be fine but other times you’ll prefer to mask those pixels instead of delete them. Generally speaking, layer masks provide more control over a single layer’s pixels. Clipping masks are used to hide areas of a layer based on pre-made selections or paths.
 

What’s the best reason to use a clipping mask?

The most common use for Clipping Masks is to apply various adjustment layers to a specific layer as opposed to the entire image. Clipping masks are also very useful for removing fringing in a subject cut-out within a composite image, or to add texture to areas of smoothed skin as demonstrated in the video.

What does extract by mask do?

Extracts the cells of a raster that correspond to the areas defined by a mask. If the input raster values are integer, the output raster will be integer. If the input is floating point, the output will be floating point.
 

How do I extract a shapefile from a layer?

To export a shapefile, you can use the context menu from either the Project tab in the Catalog pane or the Contents pane of a map or scene containing layers. To export a shapefile from the Catalog pane, right-click it on the Project tab and point to the Export drop-down menu.

What is the purpose of an extract?

Quote from video:



What does a mask clip do?

A clip allows you to hide all parts of the bottom object that are outside the clip object. The colors of a mask object affect the opacity of the bottom object. The darker and the more transparent the mask, the more transparent the masked object will become. A white mask works just like a clip.

What is the difference between layer mask and clipping mask procreate?

Procreate’s clipping masks and layer masks allow artists to make changes to their work on a separate layer. This allows them to be easily changed or deleted without impacting the work permanently. Clipping masks are used to add to a design, whereas layer masks are used to hide areas of a design.

What means clipping mask?

A clipping mask is a group of layers to which a mask is applied. The bottommost layer, or base layer, defines the visible boundaries of the entire group. For example, suppose you have a shape in the base layer, a photograph in the layer above it, and text in the topmost layer.
