Solution:
-
In order to include the path info into the response image, but not apply it, you would use the parameter pathembed as documented here:
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/dynamic-media-developer-resources/image-serving-api/image-serving-api/http-protocol-reference/command-reference/r-pathembed.htmlSo, the URL would be like this:
https://domain/is/image/company/image?pathEmbed=1
-
In order to apply the path in the response image, turning the area outside the path into transparency, you would use the parameter clipPathE as documented here:
So, the URL would be like this:
https://domain/is/image/company/image?clipPathE=
<path name> -
In order to apply the path in the response image, turning the area within the path into transparency and display the area outside the path, you would use the parameter clipXPathE as documented here:
So, the URL would be like this:
https://domain/is/image/company/image?clipXPathE=
<path name>
Since the default output format is jpeg, which doesn’t support transparency, using either of the above might give the impression that it doesn’t work because the transparency is converted into the background color. You might want to use fmt=png-alpha instead to bleed the website background through the image.
