• Grouping and clipping masks

  I just created a merry-go-round.  I create each animal separately and then combining them.  By far the most complex animal is the Zebra.  I created the strips by drawing lines that go outside the Zebra adjusing using the widths and - thanks to the wonderful of the forum, created a form of Zebra clipping mask.  Very well.  Now I would like al to group items so I can treat the Zebra as one object among others.  First of all, I'm doing the clipping mask group and scratches.  All well and good so far.

  

  But then, when I bring together all the elements, the effect of cut goes, and the stripes extend beyond the Zebra.  I see that the clipping mask is always there, but the effect of the clipping mask disappeared.

  

  Not very good.

  (Note: the same thing happens if I I do not first a group of the clipping mask and the scratches .)

  Frustrated (72 years) old-dog fearing that it becomes too too old to learn all the new stuff.

  There are two types of clipping masks. Object, it automatically creates a group. The second is a mask of base layer. This is not a group, but rather of all the objects on a given layer clips.

  That the second is the type that you created. But it cannot be contained within another group.

  What you need to do is create a based clipping mask object instead (don't worry, you can use the same objects that you already own. You must use the command object > clipping mask > make instead of the button in the layer panel.

• BlackBerry smartphones calling of all tipsters and cheats...

  Y at - it an easier way to close other applications that the key BBmenu 2 seconds, openeing those which are displayed and highlighted, then close them in the menu? (that is to say; a "close all applications" option or something.) Let me explain further. There is no clear visual indiction of the selected application closed or not. The only way I know that there are no applications running, is when my storm up a little bit, which I suppose is contributing to my problem of speed. I could not use my camera today due to a notification that read "too many applications are running to use the camera" or something to that effect. I solved the problem by going to each icon on my home screen, by selecting, then closing the menu. It was strenuous to say the least. Anyway, sorry for the hike, any help would be much appreciated.

  Thanks, geoffreyf, that is exactly what I've been concerned. Now that this speed problem is clear, how can I get links to set-up QuickLaunch and the weather app?

  BTW, how do I save my settings on this forum? Thanks again my friend!

• Does not clipping mask

  Okay, so I'm VERY new to this (I started about an hour ago!) I'm doing a mask of clipping with the mask being the outline of the France and the image inside the French pavilion. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

  File > new

  Open > Silhouette of France (photo)

  Trace as silhouette picture > Expand.

  Drag the new file.

  Open > French flag (photo)

  Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

  Place the figure on top of the French flag, select all, do a clipping mask.

  Then everything goes white! I can still see the outline, paths etc. of the silhouette, but I just do not understand what I am doing wrong! If someone could explain it to me in simple terms it would be amazing because I don't really know what I'm doing!

  I would add the photos that I use and the end result I get...

  

  SoBo,

  Parts of France appear to be a group rather than a compound path. It would be better that you could expand the layers completely, by expanding the group.

  As I said, an opacity mask can be more forgiving and work with a group.

  I took the parts of France to have any respect and a white fill, otherwise, you can give one (or a black fill), then (the mask Invert suggested in post #2 was based on a black fill, sorry):

  (1) select the two parts of the France and the object > group or object > compound mask > make;

  (2) select all and in the appearance palette flyout, click make some with ticked Clip opacity mask and mask Invert unchecked (checked if the filling is black).

  The op:

  Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

  To be in the same layer, just have a layer and file > place the flag inside image, then the image of the France and go from there.

• Failure of clipping mask

  Hi, I just received a poster at the back of the printer and I noticed the edge of the printed work clipping mask. The graphics included in an image (placed in CMYK tiff format) and plain vector graphics on top in some areas.  I had a white rectangle (brought to the foreground) from left to right (at the edge of the page) on the image, then I gathered all the elements (white rectangle always at the front) and created a clipping mask (a rectangle rounded corners) about 1 cm inside the page to keep everything tidy. When the white rectangle on the image and the border of the poster are gathered there is a hairline of the color of the image. The full view of the page, I could see the line but when I zoomed close uber, he disappeared (even in the PDF file).  I've seen things appear a little asymmetrical in PDF files high resolution before even when you know they are aligned properly so I sure don't worry it was just preview incorrectly. Anyhoo! hope I have explained this Ok... can anyone suggest why it happened or how to create the work properly. Cheers, Sarah

  I think I know what you're talking about. A bit of the image a leak in front of the white box.

  Should not have caused a problem, but he did. Sorry about that.

  I faked it your problem. When I did the following, showed nothing of the image in front of the white box, in Illustrator or Acrobat:

  1. draw a big box that surrounds the work

  2. Select this and the white box, make a compound path

  3. Select this and the image, make a clipping mask.

  4. now bring your round corner rectangle to the front.

  5 Select all, make a clipping mask.

  Hope this helps

• Maintenance of Photoshop Dec2015 cc is a clipping mask may not be 100% opaque / less transparency to 0%

  Since the update of December 2015, the clipping in Photoshop mask does not display 100% of the image, if the mask is white.

  It's like I painted gray on the clipping mask, instead of white.

  The image should be partially transparent.

  Seetings:

  Brush: 100% opacity

  Layer: 100% opacity

  Mask: 100% opacity

  System:

  Win7, Photoshop cc after Dec2015 update, German version.

  Why is it happening and how to fix this?

  I tried reseting Photoshop with CTRL + SHIFT + ALT imidiately after photoshop starts, but it does not result in a window that gives me the ability to reset all settings. Instead, I can see a list of the most recently worked on files.

  Hi nicolasw,

  Please reset the Photoshop preferences preferences > General

• Clipping mask works do not (tried the advice from here and other sites, nothing worked)

  I really didn't want to be * that * fool who asks for help on a topic that has been covered for several times, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm doing a clipping mask to a group of numbers in the form of letters. Is a big pile of numbers with overlap I just seem to be in the form of an A and a B. All that happens is everything becomes a white fill.

  I have already tried/is:

  -Selected all

  -Tried grouped and not separated, no difference

  -Vectorization of text creation

  -Numbers flattened/expanded

  -Statements/flattened numbers merged in a vector

  -Created transparent traces (everything turned white again)

  -Copied and pasted into a new file (still turned all white)

  -Clipping for layer mask

  -Ctrl + 7 clipping mask

  -Tried to place the letters in front of and behind the numbers, separately and at the same time

  -Pixelated battery number

  -Make sure my letters have not merged with numbers

  Just for fun, I tried to make another mask for clipping on a string of digits indicated and a hexagon. It worked perfectly fine. I would try to divide everything, but because the numbers are all in a big mess, it would take waaay too long to get the look I want. Can anyone suggest what else I could try?

  I using CS3 if that helps.

  the form A and B must be a composite-no trace group. RADD on transparent traces in the manual.

• Clipping masks and opacity leaving hairline masks light

  I'm running a problem when you use a clipping mask or opacity mask in Illustrator CC 17.1. Either the type of mask leaves a contour slightly around the mask object, creating a noticeable pause in what should be a uniform background. A few details:

  I created a ring in 4 quadrants. Each quadrant contains objects/models which must be isolated from the other. Above the work of each quadrant, I stick it in Place a copy of the form of the quadrant including background colors and stroke are both set to none, the value of race field is empty, is not set to 0. Which meet the same color in the adjacent areas of each quadrant there is a slight balding. These are intended to be transparent, and I don't know why this is happening. When viewing as outlines, all vectors are overlap perfectly in my eyes.

  

  I tried the same thing with simpler forms, as a test and get the same results. In this example of 3 stacked objects, I built forms using form Builder tool (top), mask clipping (the middle one) and mask opacity (bottom):

  

  As you can see, the results are not consistent, but there is certainly some weak lines in each case. The constructor of the form doesn't have a line between black shapes for a reason, but there is a conflict between the colours cyan, where hidden objects stacked meet. At the same time, it is the reverse for the 2 following blocks.

  I read the posts in this forum and others on what is a matter of anti-aliasing, it will not be printed with weak contours, but not all applications of this graph will go to print. I exported files, PDF and various other formats EPS files. I have not noticed any loose in a TIFF file but the library files that I provide to my client will consist of the vector and other raster such as png and jpg files that do not show the low contours. When I place a PDF or EPS in Illustrator or InDesign layout, the hairlines are so that documents sent electronically, unprinted, have these visible lines. They remain also when I place an EPS in Photoshop that is unacceptable for the construction of graphics for the web.

  Can someone tell me if there is a solution to make transitions smoothly between the objects hidden in Illustrator? Or this just an inherent flaw with Illustrator (or maybe my approach to strengthen these graphics)?

  dugost,

  There is nothing wrong in the way you work with masks.

  It is disturbing that you can see the hairlines in a PDF file, png, and JPEG.

  Just to try something that can be stupid: you work in points/pixels, and are the quadrants in integer values (you can see the W and H values in the Transform palette, with integer values for two opposite corner ticked of reference Points and whole)? If this is not the case, what happens if you change to get that?

• 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

• 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!

• 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.

• Clipping masks and adjustment layers

  If anyone can answer this question quickly I'll be eternally grateful. I'm having a problem with clipping masks does affect the planned layer any background color I have on.

  For example-, I have some letters that I want to apply an adjustment layer map gradient. To only affect the text layer I oscillate between the adjustment layer and the layer to now the Option + click to get the double b + w circles clip.

  When I cut my layer ad, I don't get my purpose. The only way I see the adjustment gradient effect is if I unhook my adjustment layer, but then this affects my ENTIRE background rather than the type.

  Is there a trick to keep the effect of setting without affecting the rest of the layers no matter what background color I have? Setting gradients seem better to work on black only. The problem is that my original document has a red background, so I have TO fix so that the gradient does not affect my red background. But even on a black background, I have to unclip the ad layer to see the effect. It's weird.

  Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean.

  I could flatten my document and retrieve my type with all its splendour of effect and just import it into my original doc, but selecting and extracting type of blur would be a big slap on the head.

  Thank you.

  Test on a black background.

  

  Something you might try instead to use a clipping mask is a selection of the layer of loading type and then adding a layer of the gradient map.

  

• How to get the transparent lines in a black box (clipping mask)?

  Hello

  This is the first time I use Illustrator, so I hope it's a simple question.  I created a black box and a series of segments of white line through it.  Now I need those white lines to 'cut' the black box.  At the end of the day, I need just the black parts of the box with transparent bottom lines in it (so the lines take whatever the context located - that is a different image or color).  I tried to group the line segments and create a clipping mask, but had no luck.  Does anyone have advice on how this can be accomplished?

  Thank you, Marc

  

  Expand the white lines, then use the Pathfinder Palette tool for either Subtract (without tool) or divide the white lines in the cup of the black box as desired.

• on sunbeam clipping mask changes the transparency / appearance?

  Hi, quick question:

  I have a poster that contains a vector of sunbeam (as the form found in photoshop "shapes" - circle with beams that project outwards). Anywho, I have this form in my file illustrator and need to clip the edges off the coast for the customer who wants the piece to have a border white 1 "on the edges of the drawing or model 44d.

  When I place a box empty / form on the rays of the Sun and then click "make a clipping mask" it changes the appearance / dye rays of the Sun. I have a multiply transparency applied to the sunbeam - how can I preserve the original aspect if I need to put a white border / cut the edges of the sunbeam? Is there a better option than the clipping mask, or am I missing a step somewhere?

  Thank you

• Two questions - a clipping mask and color change in the Group

  Hello

  I have a file I rendered in Maya as a vector. I'm not that great with illustrator, so I was trying to speed things up...

  In any case, it appears all of the files have a clipping mask. If I unrelease, it shows a plain with a similar dimensions that is the original color of the object. See picture for before and after...

  In addition, article even says it's in a group. For this reason, I can't seem to change its color, and the separate button is gray... very confusing.

  Jared

  To group or ungroup, you must first select the art.

  You can do this with a tool of choice or use the layers panel by clicking to the right of the circle of the name of the groups.

  Then disassociate will be available but it is not necessary to separate so deit if you double-click on the group with the selection tool black arrow he'll bring you back in the isolation mode of the group which will allow you to change the group, as if they were individual objects that are separating.

  When you have finished double click anywhere outside the group to leave the isolation mode. You will find this feature will be preventing them from making bald, because you him tear not all outside whenb group edition in complex projects.

  Regarding the change of color as already mention Nedopil > change color > Recolorier Art more or less the same kind of protection mounting which can save you aggravation in the art complex.
