photoshop_release_clipping_mask

Release (remove) the clipping mask from the active layer (or a named layer). Users often say: unclip, release clipping mask, remove clipping mask. Use when: a clipped layer should become independent again. Do NOT use when: the layer is not clipped — returns not_clipping error. Returns: JSON { ok, summary, details: { layer_name, is_clipping: false } }. Preconditions: active document; target layer must currently be a clipping mask (grouped). Side effects: sets layer.grouped = false; one history step.

Parameters
