Photoshop Clipping Path support

Either, read the image with the path applied:

try (ImageInputStream stream = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File("image_with_path.jpg")) {
    BufferedImage image = Paths.readClipped(stream);

    // Do something with the clipped image...
}

Or read the image and path separately (this is basically what readClipped(stream) does):

try (ImageInputStream stream = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File("image_with_path.jpg")) {
    Shape clip = Paths.readPath(stream);
    stream.seek(0);
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(stream);

    if (clip != null) {
        image = Paths.applyClippingPath(clip, image);
    }

    // Do something with the clipped image...
}

This allows reusing the clip for multiple images, or modifying the clip before applying etc.
