• 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.

• Clipping Mask question

  When I release the this image clipping mask, flowers and peas jumping out of the teapot. No idea how to keep them inside? Thank you!

  I had this happen to me before, and I can not reproduce consistently. You should not directly choose the outermost clipping mask. Most of the time, by selecting the whole with the regular Selection tool and releasing the mask only releases the outermost, as it should.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!!!

  Mauricio

  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.

• How do you use this feature effectively (clipping masks?) Help

  Hello

  I've been using illustrator for awhile now, but I keep coming across this sort of thing in free vectors that I download. I enclose a simple file to illustrate this. My question is, how do they do that? How to create a circle inscribed in a circle in which the inner circle mask filling of the outside circle, but can also be repositioned and resized?

  I hope that makes sense! I tried very hard to understand this part of the Illustrator, but I can't get it. What is a characteristic of clipping mask? It's in the way that you save the file/create the file that allows you to do this?

  Anyway, any help is very appreciated. The vector below is extracted from http://www.freevector.com/grunge-apartment-vector/

  Part of the problem is that I do not know what we call this function/technique to finding help has been VERY difficult

  Thank you very much

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Clipping Mask interferes with the post office?

  I have a script that takes a piece of work and it brings together with a rectangle that represents the maximum size of the work. It then takes this group - let's call it artGroup- and the glue in another document, lining up with another rectangle of the same size in this document. We'll call this rectangle in the target targetAreadocument.

  Now, normally this isn't a problem. I simply artGroupidentical position of targetAreaposition value, thusly:

  artGroup.position = targetArea.position;
  

  This works in most cases. The rectangles and artGroup targetArea online with precision. Now, I am aware that .position is actually the coordinates of the upper left corner of the object in question. Given that the two rectangles are exactly the same size, this usually isn't a problem. But there are moments where the work has a clipping path and the objects inside the clipping path are too big for the rectangle 'maximum size' (thus the need for us to set a zone more small).

  When this work is placed by my script, it reads artGroup.position in the upper left absolute, including the masterpiece inside clipping path. What makes the work outside the Center, as you can see here:

  

  As far as I know, I can't use .geometricBounds, either, since it also includes the clipped work. What can I do?

  Very quickly the size to the top of your work plan active or temp-made to the selection (which will be your cutting limits) and measures of this work plan. Then you can go up the workplan used in its place, or if it's a temporary work plan, remove it.

• 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

• How to reverse a clipping mask?

  I was curious on how to do the opposite of what would normally be a clipping mask.

  As a general rule, apply a clipping mask would do this:

  

  But I would like to know how to do this:

  

  Using a method which does not require the magic wand tool and who can do the inside edge anti-aliasing.

  Turn off and unclip the layer acetti.  CTRL click to load a selection and add a layer mask to the rectangle layer.

  You're OK with path Operations in the Options bar (with the tool pen or selected shapes?)

• 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;
