Clipping mask on a new appearance Panel fill?

• 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

• race around a clipping mask

  Hello

  I have a picture, I created a circle on top of the image

  I created a mask with the transparency Panel, it's a clip mask and the image appears only inside the circle.

  My question?

  How can I have a white line around the circle?

  Thank you!!!

  To add a line for the mask, do not use the transparency Panel. Use instead object > clipping mask > make. You can then select the mask outline and add your feature.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

  

• Creating white fill Illustrator clipping mask?

  Hi all

  So basically I have designed the top of a paper airplane and have completed the design of albums that I now want to staple in the model using the clipping mask. I used it exactly how it is supposed to"

  1. first get my form I want to use to cut exactly how I want it

  2 getting my image I want to place my form first using the clipping mask with

  3. align in place and bring my "form" in front and the picture on the back

  then using the selection tool I select all objects, and then click

  objects > clipping mask > make

  and for some reason any he clips but the image that I have wastring to clip becomes just a white fill...

  I have no idea how repair this and its driving me crazy, I can't find a soloution no matter how long I try to repair or do a search...

  I've included a few screenshots below

  

  If you cannot fill the form of cutting, then most likely it isn't a closed path, but several paths. May be grouped together. Of your screenshots, I can't say. You must display it in the layer panel.

  According to what it actually is, you need then to dissociate the it or to not composed it then join multiple paths.

  And of course, you should read the manual.

• 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

• 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.

• Inside, clipping masks to draw & paint Live

  I made a drawing of an excavation of stone floor and I used 'draw inside' to delimit the borders of excavation as below:

  

  and this is what it looks like with selected content edit:

  

  Unfortunately, I also wanted to bring in drawing mode "Live painting" the sections "coloring" (the above is just a small section of a much larger design), but because 'draw inside' creates a clipping mask, this object is now incompatible with the paradigm "live painting"! So I thought I would "expand appearance" to continue and that's what I get:

  

  What is everything? Whatever it is, it is not very useful!

  My question is, is there a way for me to properly translate an object 'draw inside' to a 'Live Paint group "? The items above are simple shapes with a single filling and the race.

  Thank you

  Release the clipping mask (which is inside this draw is in reality) and do a clipping from the database layer mask instead (click on the button layer mask in the layer panel)

  Then you can paint them direct: select all, but the mask and just use the live paint tool.

• Why don't this creates a clipping mask?

  Trying to take a file that I bought AND it hides in shape. Either she comes back she can't hide, or I get a white screen. If I select the form, I can see selected, but there is no fill. The file was a complex design, but I tried to use the clipping mask do it from the layers panel as well as the Panel of the object. Neither work. What Miss me?

  
  

  Here is a link to the file...

  The problems (there are several) resident with bird drawing you want to use as a mask object. Select the bird and choose object > clipping mask > cancel clipping mask. Remove the white box that appears. Reselct the bird and choose object > compound path > release Compound Path.Go object > composite and make Compound path > select all, and then choose object > clipping mask > make clipping mask.

  That should do it.

• Zebra - help of clipping mask

  I'm new to Illustrator and has difficulty getting a clipping mask to work the way I want it.  I have a printed pattern Zebra on top of a few letters and I want to keep the form of the letters while incorporating the Zebra.  See my screen capture.  Should what steps I take?  I've tried Pathfinder and Modes of the shape, but they do not come right.

  All I want is to have the lettering incorporate Zebra bypassing points outside the shape of the letter.

  Adrian

  

  There are several ways to do so. There are two options: filling model or a clipping mask.

  Filling of model

  Create a model of your pattern Zebra by:

  1. definition of the work to model in front of a rectangle that has no border or background.

  2. Select the model AND the rectangle and drag it in the Swatch Panel. A shade of "sufficiency of model" is added to the Panel.

  3. Select your text and assign the pattern fill to the text.

  This should ideally be a model 'seamless '. You can read about it in the online help.

  NOTE: If your model contains only the black part of the fill (the white box is blank), you can add a second fill attribute to the text using the attributes Panel:

  1 Select the text.

  2. go to the drop down menu on the Panel and select "new filling.

  3. slide the new filling below the 'characters' in the Panel.

  4 assign any color to it.

  Clipping mask

  1. turn your text above the model in the artboard (no need to convert it to text converted to outlines).

  2. Select the text and the pattern and choose the Menu item: object/Clipping Mask / Make (or Cmd - 7, mac or Ctl-7 pc)

  3. Select the text again and he assign a new color (objects lose their color when it is converted to a clipping mask, but he can be reassigned).

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

• Clipping Mask Technique Question? -pic inside

  Hey everybody,

  I know how to add clipping masks to shapes in Photoshop is no problem.

  one thing I don't understand, is how to do part of the photo back once you have it locked in a clipping mask.

  Like this...

  

  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.
