Broken clipping mask

I am running Photoshop CS4 and whenver I try to make an adjustment layer do not affect the layer below creatnig a mask of clipping, it turns off just the adjustment layer. I mean is that it's just as if I've hidden the adjustment layer, if it does not affect anything. I tried everything in the Solutions over common problems.

After much searching I finally found the thread - exactly the same problem as you.  There is other info this in there to explain WHY its not working not not the way you expect.

http://forums.adobe.com/message/2053491#2053491 - the solution to your problem, and the answer lies in after 11

The values in your layer MUST be on an Opaque background for adjustment to register. This is because the layer is composed of only the white pixels at various levels of transparency.

  • Release all the clipping masks?

    Hello world... Please help me!

    I am regularly required to work with former PDFs for my business, I have to open in Illustrator to amend and update (we don't have access to original of .ai files).

    Every time I started working on these files I have to spend ages just unconnecting the elements of the work, usually by right-clicking and choosing "release clipping mask.

    Is it possible to simply unplug everything when you open an old document pdf in Illustrator?

    First, set your filling and stroking the two votes to zero. Make sure that all the layers, and the art is unlocked. Then go to Select > same > background & contour. Clipping masks usually do not have a fill and stroke, so this should select all. Then you can simply press the delete key to remove and release everything.

  • Why the clipping masks are made for a Place/Embed?

    Illustrator CS6 (all updates)

    I have a simple and clean logo with a couple of transparent traces (letters like the 'e', 'A').  There is no clipping paths.  Everything works very well in this file, if I save it, re - open and edit, etc..

    If I have 'Place' or drag this file in a brand new, delete the file and then 'Embed' work, it creates 2 the size of the artboard clipping masks.  More importantly, it messes up the transparent traces so that I have to select them and use the shape mode "Unite" so that it can work properly.  I see this when trying to add a line to the letters... the race is broken until I use the button on the unit.  Even undo the compound path and redo it does not work.  In the image as an attachment, you can see how a place is broken, as well as the way in which 'inside' or 'outside' is available for embedded version.

    What gives?

    Thank you

    When you drag a. HAVE file and drop it onto an open. File to HAVE in Illustrator, which is equivalent to the file > Place, he became a partner. You cannot change the contents of the files linked directly because they are supposed to be changed out and update when changed. Thus, Illustrator uses the means to isolate the linked file to edit its content and provide a means for the linking functionality. These resources are provided by 'create a file PDF Compatible file' option when you save the. File to HAVE it. If you save a. File without this option and try to use it as a link, you will get this weird text instead. With this option checked, you will be able to use the file as a link in another. File to HAVE it.  Also keep in mind that if you embed a linked file it will equal not copying a file open. Coating can change the objects of no basic appearance. For example if the linked file has envelope distort, points will result in the expansion of the envelope that will produce a clipping mask group.

  • 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

  • RMA sent me a broken Clip?

    So, I filed for an RMA held earlier that went well. I got my sansa clip yesterday and plugged into my computer to load (the screen remains empty while it is plugged). Im trying to use and it simply refuses to turn on. I don't understand how I can ask for a Sansa Clip replacement and receive a BROKEN clip. It's really ridiculous, but given the current state of support I don't know what I have to do. Any Suggestions?

    It is possible that the second Clip may respond to a soft reset.  Slide the power switch on and hold it there for about 20 seconds to give him a chance to reset.

    Then see if it lights up normally.

    As with any electronic device, Murphy's law often comes into play, in fact, more often than the failure of the actual device.  If the Sansa does not respond, contact support at 1-866-SanDisk, and they can work with you guys. If need be, they can arrange for a replacement unit for you.

  • 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.

    Screenshot (39).png

    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!

    Screenshot (40).png

    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.

  • image sizes for the photo and moodboards clipping masks

    Hello

    I place images/photos to the web and Pinterest on my plans to work in Illustrator for both mood/inspiration cards as well to use with clipping masks.

    Should I adjust the size of the image files in photoshop before placing them so that my illustrator file does not become too large?

    Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

    Thank you

    Of course, you must define your own strategies for these questions according to your needs. Sure raster image data, excess will swell your files unnecessarily, but according to the availability of extra storage space in your computing environment and your ultimate output intent, may not be worth the extra time and effort for the goal-size things in Photoshop before placement. Only you can decide that priority. If the images are 'of the web and Pinterest', chances are, they are already low-resolution, and you would not shave number of bytes out of them anyway.

    Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

    N ° which is designed for elements vector rasterize at your chosen resolution. It will not change the resolution to something that is already rasterized.

  • Totally worked out of clipping mask

    I use a rectangle as a top layer to hide a work under it. When I do the mask, the underlying work is ready for the limits of the rectangle and all but the remaining parts (the ones that were supposed to be completely concealed by the rectangle) actually show above the rectangle!

    It was working fine until yesterday then I messed up probably a certain framework or preference or so.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    I must be missing something. The point in the clipping mask is to reframe the work at its edges. The work will always be on top and visible.

  • Help! Not available for actions in PSE13 clipping mask

    I have PSE13 and tried to run an action on it, and an error emerged saying "unavailable clipping mask" and the action will not work correctly. Does anyone know how can I fix? Initially, I thought it was because I have an enough space on my C: / drive so I did a LOT of space and still does not. I can't find any settings that I can pass by to available clipping mask or something like that as the tutorial for Photoshop shows.

    * SIGH *... I thought about it... I simply must have a flattened image before trying to perform an action. Well, I'll leave this here in case anyone runs into this problem.

    After creating a mask of clipping - how to remove the mask so to speak and change other shape or objects.  In the screen shot below I made a basic clipping mask using a circle on a grid that was 2 columns and 5 rows.

    I love the way the upper part grows out of the clipping mask.

    someone knows how to do this?

    Thank you guys

    Hiya

    Simply copy the layer structure in my example. Once you have the image of filling on the top layer and a black layer mask in place, make sure first that the blending mode is set to 'normal', it should be as it is by default. Press d on the keyboard to select the colors of foreground and background by default, then x to make a pure white the foreground color. Press b on the keyboard to select the Brush tool and set it is small enough and halfway between soft and hard and the opacity to 100%.  Now click on the layer mask black on the top layer to select and begin to paint on the canvas. You should see the image at the top starts to become visible as you paint. If you go off and parts of the image you don't want revealed begin to appear then simply change the color of foreground to black by pressing x on the keyboard and paint on the unwanted parts to hide. Then alternate the color white again by pressing x and continue painting, ensuring that all the time that the layer mask is selected is not the image itself. If the edges of the picture that you paint look causing some simply reduce the hardness of the brush.

    Hope it's a little clearer.
