I've had adobe products for less than 24 hours. I used this method to trace around an object I wanted to remove from a picture, but instead I created a stencil with the pen, rather than it removing the object from the picture.. I clearly did something wrong but I'm very confused

"cant make clipping mask. The seelction must contain more than one project"

I really like using the 'Export as' but I wish Adobe would just make 'use artboard' a default feature.. why on earth would I want to export everything that is around my artboard for christ's sake? It's got all my junk around it.. So many times I've missed it and had to go back to redo the export and click that button!
