• help with a clipping mask

  I have this item and I want to add a background behind him with the clipping mask so that nothing shows up outside of my my object (bible). I went through tutorials and that works, but it never works when using this object. Can anyone watch and help with why it doesn't work.

  Here is a link to my file have Dropbox - TestIcon.ai

  Essentially trying to keep the Red inside the mask of the bible, so I can use it on my icopn bar tabe.

  Thank you

  I'm still not clear about what you are trying to achieve because there is nothing red in your illustration. But what rcraighead said, I guess that great shape selected in your screenshot is the object that you want to use as your mask and that you want to fill with red and you want to be able to see through the mask to the illustration of the book...

  You'll need duplicate large form and make sure that it is on top of all your other items. Follow the instructions in rcrighead. If you do not want the shadow to be filled with red, do not reproduce them; just put on top.

• Deformation with a clipping mask

  Hello

  Does anyone know if there is a way to deform a clipping on the mask itself mask? Whenever I'm deforming a clipping mask, the borders of the curvature are on the edges of the work in the mask. And not on the mask itself. Often that it distorts the work adversely.

  Thanks in advance.

  Acidwire,

  To really clip based on a clipping (instead of start) mask, there is the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

  (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try;

  (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector.

  (3) thrill.

• Best way to do with indesign clipping mask drawn vector shapes?

  What is the best way to create a clipping with vector art mask which is drawn inside indesign?

  I have a group of vector shapes to stick in a rounded corner box. This art is grouped.

  What I tried:

  -create the rounded corner box I want the art inside

  -cut art

  -Edition > paste inside

  It worked, but I didn't know how to move the work once it was pasted in the form. With the direct Selection tool, I could move individual objects, but not the Group of objects. Any ideas?

  What is the best way to do what I'm doing?

  Thank you!

  Yopu do not mention the version ID, which makes a difference here.

  Stick in there is correct. In CS5, you can then use the grabber donut content to move the group within the frame. In all versions, you should be able to choose the frame, then use object > select > content for the group, or use the button for the control panel. Before CS5, you need to use the arrow keys or grasp the central point with the mouse to move the group.

• Help with a clipping mask and text!

  

  This was really frustrating me.

  Design of this logo at the mo - the circle is a form and the L is just type on a separate layer on top with the same color as the background. What I want, it's to make the cut in the circle so that it is essentially transparent, where I can place on any color background and L will mix it naturally without color cast of 'L' evolving.

  Any ideas guys? With the help of CS5. I'd appreciate any help.

  Hello

  One way is to put your text and circle in a layer set, then together the mix Options: custom to zero fill and Knockout at shallow depth.

  The layer that lies directly under the layer group appear throughout the text.

  

• Is it possible to add two strokes to text with a filling between the two to make an edge effect?

  I've been playing in Illustrator specifically with the menu appearance with strokes and fills. I would like to do something more complex. I posted a this kind of idea of what I want to screenshot. Instead of add simply several traces, I want to have say two white lines with the filling under the same color of the background color is.

  I would do this with strokes or fills? Is there a certain order, that they must be in my appearance Panel?

  

  something like that?

  

  That's two shots, the one of them compensate for slightly (effect > path). I just got rid of filling completely. Double click on 'Print' and trash filling it.

• Clipping masks in have CS5 removes accidents vascular cerebral and other Follies

  When you create a clipping mask, Illustrator CS5 removes the stroke on the mask itself and when I add the return stroke, it adds the same stroke to objects in the clipping mask.

  In the file below, Figure 1 shows a rectangle with a black border and an orange circle with no stroke. Figure 2 shows the result of creating a clipping mask - the black line on the rectangle has been removed. Figure 3 shows the result of the addition of the black line to the mask - it adds the stroke to the orange circle as well.

  This is one of the many things on Illustrator that lead me to believe that Adobe people have never tried to work with their own programs. Why the hell would I want the shot to be eliminated in the first place and why would I want to add elements within the mask when I go to replace it?

  Is there anything I should do differently or is this yet another oblivion, I have to work around forever?

  

  Have you used the direct Selection (Open arrow) tool to select the clipping mask? It should work.

• Help to recreate the effect of shadow cast by the clipping mask

  Is there a few months, I created the image attached. Today, for the life of me I can not create a similar effect, where the shadow text source the clipping mask. Whenever I try to follow the same steps and the layer styles, that I get a normal black shadow not a shade that comes from the clipping mask as in my example. Help please I'm driving myself crazy!

  
  

  If you put the layer containing the shadow applied to a smart object the clipping mask will be applied to the shadow as well. Right click-> Convert to smart object

• When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind

  When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind it does not move. I did this project of class before and it worked fine so I'm not sure if I have something started or... Any thoughts?

  I thought about it. That's all just stupid on my part and a bit of frustration because photoshop is my sworn enemy of then adobe added in. Thanks tho!

• can't Stroke object after a clipping mask? CS6

  Hello: Level: Beginner OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ps: CS6

  I have problems with a tutorial.

  He said to... Create a new layer and place it above the layer of "main object" (which has a clipping mask) and applies also the clipping mask

  Then I'm to Ctrl + click on the main object to select then right-click for menu, choose STROKE.

  However, when I right click on the new layer in the clipping mask the Stroke option is unavailable ~ is not when I click on the object itself on the

  canvas.

  So, I went in Edition > contour and tried to apply to the race in this way, but the race is not visible.

  I also tried to go to blending Options to apply the stroke, but it is not visible in this way or the other.

  I tried to search the manual for an answer and the FAQ but I can't seem to identify things.

  Thank you very much for your time and assistance

  Here is the tutorial, I'm following: photoshop http://designinstruct.com/drawing-illustration/how-to-create-an-ipad-2-from-scratch-using-/

  I'm stuck in step #1 ~ it's down a little bit after where I applied the noise

  You made sure that location in the dialogue of the race is "inside"?

  Because the layer is cut to the shape, the stroke must be within the form to be visible. 'Centre' will result in half outside of the width of the contour are invisible, and "Outside" will result in the entire race being invisible.

• Text CS4 - multiple blocks of text clipping mask

  Can someone explain why the clipping mask only works with a single word / text block? I have a poster with the text - 5 blocks of text I want to place a photo on top - but every time I do a clipping mask > it just makes all empty? (I've grouped text blocks, then place on the image, then make a clipping mask-.. .so all empties)

  I tried only using one of the block of text on the image - it works fine. But I don't want to import 5 photos for clip 5 blocks of text?

  Any idea?

  Thank you kindly,

  Chemol

  Kurt is listening alone. (Typical). Make a shape composed of your LIVING text blocks (select all, option-click on the pathfinder unit). Now, select the compound shape and your image behind him and press command-7

  Idea of RC to use the image as a pattern fill also works perfectly. Here, you first need to embed the image in your document BEFORE the Panel color chart will accept it as a model.

• Text fill or use a clipping mask, then using the knife tool

  Hey, new to the forum here, and I have a problem...

  I'm scanning my notes for a course in Earth science, and I use Illustrator CS5.

  I'm trying to do a simple text effect that leaves me perplexed.

  The text says "Earthquakes" (indeed, 24pt.)

  I like the texture of the text with a picture of sandstone.  I can do this.

  I would like in conjunction with the text in two with the knife tool.  I can do that, too.

  I can't for the life of me, what to cut the text in two after applying the clipping mask.

  No can I apply the texture (via a clipping mask) after having cut the text in two.

  I tried all kinds of different combinations, including doing some work in Photoshop, and still nothing works.

  I tried to create a plan (apparently essential to use the knife on the text tool), cut the text in two and then make the clipping mask, but that only gives me letters, invisible, which I can't seem to fill with the appropriate image.

  Anyone out there have any ideas?

  In the case where it is not clear, I want my text to be filled by a picture, then I would cut half in text (I prefer to use the knife tool, as it looks better with a curved cut)

  It's as simple as that, but I could not fall on a solution on my own.

  On a side note, I also spent on some tutorials for 'cutting text' is to draw a line through it, and then using fracture in the Pathfinder palette, but this guard send me errors.  Thoughts?

  First of all, there is no need to use a clipping for texture mask. Drag the photo in the "Swatches" Panel and then use the texture sample resulting to fill the text! Then, drag the text object texture in the symbols Panel. Now you can drag the 2 instances of the new symbol on the artboard and hide to create the look you are after. Using this method, your text remains editable and can be changed by editing the symbol.
