    There are a few ways to create a clipping mask layer, A clipping mask is created using two layers of a Photoshop image. A clipping mask in photoshop is created by using the content of the one layer to mask the layer of another. Transparent pixels in the bottommost layer act as a mask for the image on the layer above.

    Open image which you want to edit > Save the image as PSD > Create a shape for your mask > Move the masking layer underneath the image layer then you need to select the image layer in the layers palette and then select Create Clipping Mask. The layer will appear in the layers palette, marked with an arrow. Every pixel outside the lower masking layer will be hidden on the upper image layer.

    You're right, a clipping mask, or clipping path, is generally used for hiding backgrounds, or other undesired parts of a picture. To create a clipping mask, at least two layers are required.
