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.

    It is best to place any text.

    You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

    It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

  • the best way to deal with the changed values maskMode?

    Hi people

    I just found out that the values listed for maskModes have changed between CC14 and CC15 who broke most of my scripts of masking.

    IE MaskMode.ADD in CC14 has the value 6413 but CC15 is 6813.

    What is the best way to deal with this? is there a simple solution or what I need to check the version of AE which is used and adjust from there?

    is there a direct way to access the name ie "MaskMode.ADD" instead of the value?

    Thanks... /JL

    To get the string maskMode by the current mask, you can loop through all the values possible maskmodes and stop when you click on:

    for (var k in MaskMode){
        if (myMask.maskMode === MaskMode[k]) break;
        };
    // at this stage k is the maskMode string (eg: "ADD")

  • 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

    Nick

    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.

  • logo with the degraded in InDesign clipping mask?

    Hi all

    I have a small question: I use CS4 (illustrator and InDesign) on Mac OSX platform.

    QUESTION: I have a one color logo (just text), which fades in transparency (applied to the type in Illustrator gradient clipping mask). I would check how I should prepare and import this logo in InDesign -to be sure, I'm not the effect of real transparency on different pages when it is applied in my InDesign book.

    Thank you kindly,

  • 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 deal with screen capture?

    Hello world

    I have a lot of images captured with Snagit (computer screens). They will be printed in black and white.

    I usually do the following: open the png file in Photoshop, select Convert to grayscale Mode and save it as PSD.

    Generally, I get the results reasonably good in printed books (CMYK and n & W). [If I put the image I do usually only in Photoshop, but if the budget is tight, I do the scaling in Indesign]. I confess that I am not a very good "Photoshop" and I noticed that under Image-> adjustments there is a command to convert to B & W images.

    I played a bit with this two options and I have concluded that the files obtained with this IVª of different shades of gray are a little different.

    Can anyone advise me on the best method to use and the best way to do this kind of conversion in Photoshop. I'm on Windows using CS 5.5

    Thank you in advance.

    Maria

    In fact, in Photoshop, black and white is really a neutralized RGB image - three channels balanced to have the appearance of a B & W photo. If you want the pixels that are either black or white, nothing else, a channel, you must convert it to Bitmap mode.

    In the same way, "printing in black-and-white ad" is not accurate - you print in black and leave everything else without ink. To get gray you would use a halftone screen of a certain value.  I imagine that if you print monochrome (any single color, including black) you want to convert in grayscale, bitmap not mode. You might, however, want to use black and white conversion first, which lets you play with the sliders and set the contrast of the different colors in the screenshot to make the image as readable as possible, then convert it to grayscale. I prefer to use an adjustment layer for these adjustments, such as B & W, that can be done this way because it is more flexible and does not change the underlying image.

    A consensus among users here who work a lot with screen capture is that you can scale to the ID and the results will be as good as scaling in Photoshop.

  • What is the best way to deal with a 'Implicit coercion' in a table to a sprite?

    Hi all!

    With the continued support of this forum, I'm getting closer to have a programme of work. I can't wait to be able to help others like me once I've finished learning the ropes of AS3.

    I'll briefly explain what I want to achieve and then followed with my question.

    Background

    I created a random number of 12 x 9 grid that fills each cell with an image, based on the numeric value of each cell. I also have a random play button that makes random numbers in the grid. The problem I am running became my click event of button to erase the current images off the grid in order to allocate the new (for example by removing the objects display battery in order to place the new ones in the same places).

    Question

    My question is this: what is the best way to manage an implicit constraint from a table to a sprite? I pasted my complete code below so that you can see how the functions are supposed to work together. My sentence is apparently not being able to use a value from array with a sprite (sprite represents the real layout of the grid on the pile of display while the table starts as a number that is assigned an image that must be transmitted to the sprite).

    shuffleButton.y = grid.y + grid.height + 10;
    this.addChild (shuffleButton);
    shuffleButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onShuffleButtonClick);
    }

    Erase the images of the cell, mix of their numbers and then assigned these new images.
    private function onShuffleButtonClick (): void
    {
    eraseCells();

    trace ("after shuffle:", cellNumbers);

    }
    }
    }

    ===========================================================================

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    If you want to have an array of Sprites that you later clear that is fine. But this does not mean that your function should return to it.

    You need your function to return the sprite so that you can add it to the display list and everything what you need.

    So just have the function get Sprite, push it in the "toBeClearedInTheFutureArray" and then return a reference to the currently acquired sprite.

  • Best way to export from Indesign CS5 for Ipad presentation

    Hello, I want to create a portfolio of our work to put on an Ipad, so I can show it to my clients. Would be nice if I could slip through the different screens by scrolling with my finger. Now that I read a few articles about it, but still I can't find out what is the best way... Interactive PDF is not supported on Ipad (?) so I should create an e-book, but which is the best way? Or is it better to simply add a few images in my photofolder and simply scroll through them?

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    There you go. You already have the opportunity to browse the images and run them in a slide show. There is no need to complicate things with PDF/ebook.

  • Best way to deal with pictures from the start? (Bridge CS5 and iPhoto)

    Hi all

    I am just learning the strings of all the suite CS5 and began to add keywords etc in bridge, when I realized that I couldn't access the files in my iPhoto library ('09). I read a few threads on this topic, but have not really found a consensus on how to deal with it.

    I think I'm in a good position to get things right from the start, because I have no tags or sides etc. in my configuration of iPhoto (and only add keywords for the few photos that weren't in my iPhoto library), and wonder what you think is the best way to sort photos given I intend to use them in web design etc. and all the parts of my suite CS5.

    If the photos in iPhoto is the best what is the best way to do it? I have read suggestions do a right-click on the library and click "Show content" - or something like cela, but that does not come up as an option when I right click my iPhoto in Bridge library. Thanks a lot for your help!

    Please let me know if there is any info I could give you that could be useful in order to understand this one.

    Best,

    Mara

    PS: for the temporary folder, I use a name like to-do Images

    Remember once the keywords are used is not just the manipulation/image adjustments which are important metadata but also robust observation with integrity
