Automatically create clipping masks

• New adjustment layers - create the clipping mask?

  This just started happening.  I use Windows Home Premium 64-bit and 64-bit Photoshop CS5 (not extended).  My system specs are listed below.

  I've been editing a series of photos when the levels adjustment layer dialog box started to behave abnormally.  Finally, I realized that, in the "New layer" dialog, the "Use previous layer to create clipping mask" is checked.  When I click on button othe levels in the "Adjustments" pane the new adjustment layer is also indented as if I had used the Ctrl + Alt + G key combination.

  I restarted Photoshop and got the same behavior, then restarted Windows and always get the same behavior.  I am sure I have inadvertently enabled something, but can not find the place where to retrieve the original bahavior.  Does anyone know where to turn?

  Thanks,-Dave

• How do I cancel the application clipping mask permanently,

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  I am having trouble with adjustment layers.

  I made a choice I want to brighten up a bit, and then I make a selection in the appropriate field, and then choose "curves" in the adjustmenlayers to inform the selected area.

  I also want to remove some red, only that chosen area, and then I choose "colorbalance" and I "alt-click on" between two layers to adjust only the desired area and whole picture, and it shows by a small 'broken arrow' he uses the previous layer to create clipping mask.

  And it works just great!

  But no more!

  Because now it suddenly applies this clippingmask - without me permannetly "alt-click". So now when I choose 'curved' the little broken arrow is here! And that bothers me big time, because I can't figure out how to make it stop. I know I can "right click" and click on "version clippingmask" but my point is, I don't want to do that, I want to stop it, unless I said, by "alt-click on ' betwwen the layers.

  I browes severeal forums, and the only thing I can find is how to make the clippingmask, not how to cancel it (Undo permanently, that is...)

  He owes me a sort of parameters... But I can't understand it. Does somebode please help me

  Thank you

• make an array of elements clipping mask

  Hello world

  I have a chart of the circles and I would like to make a photo show just circles. I know how to do this for a single photo (place the shape on the picture, then click on 'create clipping mask', but I can't do it for an array of forms. I tried to group circles or uniting through pathfinder, but that does not work either...

  Appreciate the help!

  Cult circles only then go to object > compound path > make

  Then select the image or images and circles, ensuring that the layout of the circles is on top, and then bring your clipping mask.

  When you use the United command if you read the ToolTip it also States that if you hold down the option key, it will create a compound shape then can also be used as a clipping mask as you desire. But you must hold down the option key while clicking on the icon of the unit.

• Frustration of clipping mask

  Hi all

  I have used here. Somehow, I can't get a clipping mask to work in illustrator CS4. I've been using photoshop for years and only started using illustrator and it is completely different!

  What I am wanting to do is simple. I am doing a logo and you want to add a mask of white clipping on the text, add a gradient and set the opacity to about 30 to get a glow effect. Whenever I do this, even if the clipping mask does not work, the new layer with the disappears just of white form! When I have fill it with white, once again, it appears on all the other layers. It's really frustrating me.

  That's what I'm doing:

  1. Enter the text

  2. create the white shape with the tool feather in the new layer above the text layer.

  Layer 2-form

  Layer 1-text

  In photoshop, that I simply select Layer 2 and create a clipping and what is - mask this. In illustrator when I goto "Create clipping mask" white form has suddenly become vacant and when I fill it up it is just that comes all overlap and not only the text layer as I want it to do.

  I had once it works and it worked fine until I brought in photoshop via AI. file, then I could see the whole shape that just overlap the clipping mask just disappeared.

  I would really appreciate help on this, it's very very frustrating!

  Thank you!

  W,

  It's hard to explain that you don't understand what I mean?

  I think so. You can create a copy of the one on top of the shape and with those two selected object > clipping mask > make. Which allows you to hide the form outside the A, and the original A part will be below it.

• How to close a form image drawn to create a clipping mask?

  Hi friends,

  I hand - drew a skirt, took a picture of my design and trace the image to create a vector of my image.  I now use the clipping mask to fill my skirt with a pattern of drawing. See my skirt of drawing and model below.

  

  The only problem is that my drawing is not closed.  In the upper left corner of the skirt, there is this opening in the drawing (detail shot below).  What is the best way to bridge that gap, so I can use the image as a clipping mask?

  Thank you!

  

  Use the shapebuilder tool to fill the inside of the skirt with a color (any color)

  To close the gap, first double-click the tool in the tools Panel to enable detection of space.

  The colorful filling can be used as a clipping mask.

• How to create an object full of objects without the clipping masks

  Hello!

  I wanted to ask that I saw a lot of vectors on fotolia and shutterstock like this

  

  It is a typical example. world map with diamond. As you can see that there is no clipping mask, but all objects are in the perfect location. It is any script or any plugin or a tip or some way to easily create for these works.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You need the world map

• Create a clipping mask and insert multiple Images, forms, blending options

  I am able to do this in Illustrator, but I try to understand how to do this in InDesign.

  In InDesign - after I created a custom shape (clipping mask) with the pen tool I drop an image inside the shape (CMD + D).
  However, I would like to add other forms or images in this clipping mask and set the blending options. How does this in InDesign?

  Thank you!

  1. Draw or make the mask of future cliping as frame
  2. All put together that you want to be in this context.
  3. Group them
  4. Move them to the location you want them finally
  5. Cut them into your editing table
  6. Select the target image
  7. Change > passed in

• Can I create a clipping on a clipping mask mask?

  Can I create a clipping on an another clipping mask mask?

  I want to fill a range of Layer 3 on a layer2.

  Is it impossible? It would be useful if it is feasible.

  

  A workaround can be convert "Layer 2" and "Layer 3"to a smart object and a clipping in that mask.

  A completely different structure with groups and application layer or layer masks can be another option.

• Ive been trying for hours now, but illustrator wont allow me to create a clipping mask

  I created the spirit logo attached the pen tool. I then cut the Central Wick using the form generator tool.

  I imported it into a new document with an object/image that I want to hang it. I select the two go to object > clipping to mask.

  The two objects is suddenly off and I do not see the fill / no STROKE of the icons. If this does not happen then There nature and all just say "cannot make a clipping mask.

  This has been bothering me for a few days now.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Herms-ra.

  You can do so quite different or similar with masks of Cliping, without or with background color purple/note/smoke.

  Note: There was an error in the first proposal in post #18: in step 5) you must select C) (purple/note/smoke color background to cut of the) instead of d) (the underlying texture of parties drops black), sorry, I just spotted it.

  You can (reusing a part of the first proposal):

  (1) return to, or start from scratch, with the following basic elements (starting with this stacking order):

  (A) the compound path, forming the dripping inner circle party black (in A).

  (B) the compound path, forming the external parties dripping with black,

  (C) the color purple/note/smoke to cut background

  (D) the underlying texture parts of gout black,.

  (E) the underlying texture of letter parts internal;

  Select 2) A) and B) and copy both to the top of the stacking order, then release both Compound paths and remove the inner path from A) and the external path of B), then turn them into a new compound path, consisting of forms of internal letters (you can use Pathfinder > less first plan or object > compound path > make);

  (((3) E move) (the underlying texture of parts internal letter) up just below the new path composed of 2), select both and opposition > clipping mask > make, and then to hide;

  (Select 4 (A) (composite route forming the dripping inner circle in black (A)) and b the compound path forming the outer circle dripping parts black) and object > compound path > make;

  ((5) select the combination of 4) and D) (the underlying texture of parties drops black) and object > clipping mask > make.

  (Show 6) 3).

  (C) the note/violet/smoky colored backgroun, if keep you it, or any other background will be visible everywhere where it is not covered.

• How to automatically create a rectangular layer from a selection of irregular shape mask?

  I'm trying to automatically crop images. The subject is on a white background and extends between the left edge of the image to the right. The top and bottom of the object are in the frame. I need to crop a certain distance from the top and at the bottom of the topic and a predefined width which would be calculated from the height of the subject.

  My current idea is to create a duplicate layer and run the threshold on this, that allows me to choose the topic clearly. Once I have the selected object, I use Image-> cultures to create the desired rectangle, but I can't find a way to create a mask for the selected object in an irregular way. Anyone know how to take a selection and convert it into a rectangle? I hope this makes sense, I try to explain better if not. Thank you.

  -Chris

  // make selection rectangular;
  // 2013, use it at your own risk;
  #target photoshop
  if (app.documents.length > 0) {
  var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
  try {
  var theBounds = myDocument.selection.bounds;
  var theArray = [[theBounds[0], theBounds[1]], [theBounds[2], theBounds[1]], [theBounds[2], theBounds[3]], [theBounds[0], theBounds[3]]];

• How to create a clipping mask in photoshop touch?

  I want to be that lines with a photo showing through it, like a window to the text. I think I need to create a clipping mask. I can do it in photoshop touch? If so, how?

  Hi Sashakit,

  In Photoshop, you would definitely be able to use a clipping mask, you have the right idea. There is no function of masking in Photoshop Touch, but I found a way to get the same effect you!

  1. open the image you want to show through the text.

  

  2 choose the menu " more ' (& symbol) and choose the option text.

  

  3 type the word or the sentence and fix it where you would like to show through. Choice of black or white for the color is the easiest to see, but a lot no matter what color you choose.

  

  4 use the Magic Wand selection tool and do not forget to click on the additive . When you tap each letter, it will be a group of pieces for you chose the additive option.

  

  5 now that your letters are selected, make sure that you type on the bottom layer (with your photo). The selection must always remain active.

  

  6 choose the menu with the pencil icon and choose extract... This will delete everything outside your current selection.

  

  7 now you can delete the layer with the text on this subject or replace invisible to see your new picture!

  

  I hope this helps. See you soon!

• Failed to create a mask for clipping on 3 separate text objects

  Hi all

  I created a custom, text so that each letter in my 3 letter word is a separate compound object.

  Now, I did a full ellipse (with gradient) and a rectangle behind text to create a clipping with all text objects 3 mask. (see image1)

  However, when I select all the objects and select: object > clipping mask > make, they do hide the letter, which is the one on top. (see image 2)

  However, when I combine the 3 letters, it does not create a clipping mask at all, it shows nothing... (see picture 3)

  How can I ake all the 3 letters be in the mask?

  Thank you

  Here is a link to the .ai file: http://lamininbeauty.co.za/david/STS.ai

  

  

  

  Dave,

  You can select all the letters and the object > compound path do, then use it as the clipping to the clipping mask.
