• CS6 actions > batch saving of images in a clipping mask problem

  Hey all,.

  Been at this for a certain brand in now and searched the www thin suggestion - so really hope someone can help me here.

  Objective:

  -Target a folder with .gif xxx patterns (in the same size)
  -Configuration of batch stocks open each image in the folder, copy the image of the model individually more to one. PSD file which have a silhouette of the handle.
  -Apply the model on the clipping mask
  -Outside save as .png

  Question:
  So far, Ive had only automate > batch to save to a .png with the pattern correctly applied to the silhouette.

  I have experince, it's so close, I have everything down and start automate > batch then Photoshop will complain of not being able to locate the clipping mask.
  In my configuration of action I everything first open my .psd containing my form of sleeve, then open a real model image and then all the other steps ending with saving the .psd with a model in .png clipping mask.

  Just to give an idea on my setup take a look here:

  In this case below, I've closed everything and run Automation > lots, which gives me the error that you can see here:

  Hello, I want to make an outline of the text that I created.  I started with a blue background.  Then, I created a text and changed the color of gold.  I then put on an image and used the clipping mask to show the image by the text. Problem is it gets rid of color and shows that the peak through the text.  I wanted a draft of the text with the picture.  Is this possible?

• Problem of clipping mask...

  Hello. I'm working on a logo for a person using the CC of Illustrator version. The background for the logo was created using a clipping mask and is a green light green oval dark grass superimposed "blades". The blades were created using pencil, then I put the oval shape on top and used Apple command 7 to create a clipping mask. Problem is, when I change the size of the logo, "blades" of grass are the same weight that they have created, so when the image is reduced, the grass turns out to be much thicker, and the opposite happens when the image is enlarged. This approach of course of the problems on the track when creating cards and of the storefront signage. Tips on how to keep the same proportions when you change the size of the logo?

  Thank you!!

  You can extend the appearance of all your shots.

  Select your picture and go to the menu/object/decaying appearance.

  If you want to keep your shots and always on the scale. Make sure that your "stroke brain and effects globally" is checked. It's under preference (or cmd + k)

  but I'm really against finals logos with effects and strokes. I saw everthing and flatten it out as much as possible.

• Problem with the clipping mask

  I tried to create a clipping mask to cut out the background of an image, but after I created it there is always some parts of the background in the picture of rest. I'm only using Illustrator CS3.

• Question about problem with the file using a clipping mask

  I use Photoshop CS6.  I bought a digital frame with a mask of clipping on Etsy.   When I go to insert the image in the image using the clipping mask image continues to show through the edges of the image (as pictured).  I tried blocking layer, but it does not work.  Any suggestions?

  Try this, 2 layer moving below 3 attach them.

  Hang out with the selection tool ellipse a circle that encompasses the area which should show the image

  Create a mask for the form (make sure the shape layer is selected {now layer 2 to 3} click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square)

  You should now see your image.

  If you get stuck, you can capture your screen to show your progress.

  Tips for the selection tool:

  You can hold the SHIFT key to constrain to a circle

  You can hold the ALT key to draw a selection of its center circle,

  You can hold both modifier key for a perfect circle drawn in the Center.

  Finally you can hold down the SPACEBAR to move the selection before you release the mouse button.

• 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.

• 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.

  Good editing everyone!

• 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.

• A simpler method of dividing or clipping mask?

  OK, I'm back with a new question. Design to go on Tshirt

  NOT CE DESIGN, just example.

  Shirt color shows while creating lines in the gun (indicated by black background)
  

  Here I have a firearm on a locked layer black background. All the white parts of the pistol

  are their own forms, grouped. (so the gun rest the gun.)
  

  As you can see, with a pistol on the right, the black background (color of the shirt) shows

  by creating the outline of the gun.

  Now, I want to overlay of this indicator on the gun to fire at

  where it seems that the gun has a flag on this issue.
  

  

  Now here's a clipping mask. Yes it works, but for what I do. I can't have paths in the background

  that make up the flag. No extra charge no matter what, just the barrel and research as it has a flag. Clipping path

  method also creates a larger file. For screen printing on t-shirts, these additional lines of the invisible flag

  can cause a problem.

  

  Divide then works fine. I put the gun in the back, the flag on the front and divide. Then ungroup.

  In the image below, I've removed many of the parts of the Pavilion which were divided.

  However, then I have to hunt for the paths that I want to be transparent (so shirt shows through lines).

  It takes a lot of time. You can see that I chose a piece inside the drum of spinning, where the bullets are going inside.
  This piece is deleted, like many others, up to what the black shirt color indicates where to, once again.

  

  There must be an easier way to do it. So he superimposed the indicator only on the white of the forms that make the gun
  as a clipping mask, but where I can remove all paths associated with the parts of the flag I don't need.

  Notice to lovers?

  
  This is exactly the situation I have right now. I have a skull that I need to superimpose a flag on.

  I THOUGHT WITH A WORKAROUND... I'M A GENIUS!

  Thus, while brainstorming, I think I have a better method.

  We will use a black background as a cutter.

  With the help of a black background even size as a document.

  With the help of skull original to cut through leaving the black. (select skull and black background then split)

  Edit > cut black (who is a master of cutting everything that needs to be transparent.) now in the Clipboard

  Put the flag in the document, paste black flag.

  Select Black punch and flag.

  Divide

  Ungroup

  Select same fill color (by selecting the black hole)

  Delete

  ALTO! Left with all the pieces that have the color of the flag.

  ALL VECTORS. Reduced file size.

  I'M A BEAST!

  I now use cookie cutter method on all the models that I had.

  and it's considerably allowing a reduced file size.

  Mainly because there is only one group, which contains all the parts

  that make up the drawing.
  With the help of text and expand on the text damaged by arches, which had created grunge effects

  large file formats.

  Maybe all that could be cleaned.

  However, this method is so easy.

• Clipping mask will not work on PDF or print

  I have a file which has applied a clipping mask. When sent to print or read in PDF format the clipping mask does not work.

  Here is a screenshot of the version I, then the PDF file (and which appears also when printing).

  Someone saw of what causes it and how it can be fixed?

  

  

  It resembles a well-organized file, but if you go in the tracks mode it looks like a file of hell :-)

  The problem seems to be caused by clipping masks which are made from a unique anchor point.

  Unlock all layers. Choose the command selection > objects > stray Points and remove them.

  The features of problem will become visible, as well as in Acrobat.

  

• How to align the elements (groupItem) with clipping masks?

  I have a script which aligns a groupItemToBeAligned on a layer to an another referenceGroupItem on another layer, well. Problem comes when the groupItemToBeAligned consists of elements that have a clipping, masks just to help

  groupItemToBeAligned.position = referenceGroupItem.position;
  
  

  Does not work, he takes the position of all, what is the best method to align what is actually visible? I tried to use:

  var vBounds = referenceGroupItem.visibleBounds;
  x1 = vBounds[0];
  y1 = vBounds[1];
  x2 = vBounds[2];
  y2 = vBounds[3];
  groupItemToBeAligned.position = [x1, y1];
  
  

  Produces the same results unfortunately.

  Huzzah, once again! I can't express how much it helps to have the file you are editing. This version is perfectly aligned all work plans. I would like to know if you have any other questions. =)

  function align(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var aB = myDoc.artboards;
      var layers = myDoc.layers;
  
      for(var a=0;a0){
                      for(var b=0;b topMost.top){
                          topMost = masks[b];
                      }
                  }
                  return topMost.top;
              }

• Any PDF to AI > clipping masks different 1 million?

  I've been using have for about 10 years, and I meet this problem before but somehow did the trick around it. However, I would go to the bottom of him this time.

  First off this happened CS5, CS6, and CC.

  I imported a PDF file from a scanned plan thinking that I would make a few changes to line weight and color + graphics for a presentation, it is, but it is divided into a large NUMBER of different items within a clipping mask LOT different. This happens just to open a PDF file in artificial intelligence. Does anyone know why an imported PDF do that? Also, how is the best and fastest way to get it back in a few tracks. Example below.
  
  

  The PDF file is a raster image file. Each of these boxes is a single raster containing about 3 MB of data. You can use select all and then object > clipping mask > Release. You can use the object > rasterize to create a single frame of the entire file and try to use the Image path > stroke, but it will be a long-term task.

• 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?

• Clipping Mask/white strips

  OK I find better to explain/ask as an example.

  First of all, I use a clipping mask to make a diamond shape. (as below)

  

  Then, to add depth, I use the same base filled with a gradient/shadow form. I use the alignment tools to make them perfectly above the other.

  

  But here's the problem, as you can see in the end on the right that it leaves little white stripes. Everyone can't see what I am doing wrong to find it? or how can I approach it differently to didn't get it.

  simsallabim,

  You can avoid the problem by doing everything in a single step using an opacity mask.

  If you create the clip with a black/gray/white fill and no line shape, you can just:

  Click in the transparency palette flyout to make new mask with ticked Clip and invert the mask checked or unchecked, depending on how you use the color range of the clip shape to define the reducer of the underlying object.
