  I try to get all the white areas of the illustration attached 'globe' to blow to the background color. I tried to make the whole thing a compound path, tried clipping mask and different combinations to scout ahead without success. The image on the right, it is what happens when I make a compound path. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  

  The easiest way, I think, would be to define the work of the white line as an opacity mask on top of the tan circle. Which is not a clipping mask, but does the same thing and it is much easier.

  Otherwise, outline the white lines and 'Unit' pathfinder tool, then delete out of the way (the circle), of the compound shape. That will leave the compound object appropriate to the clipping mask:

  

• 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.

  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.

• 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.

• 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

  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?

• 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!

• 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 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.

  

• Clipping masks in have CS5 removes accidents vascular cerebral and other Follies

  When you create a clipping mask, Illustrator CS5 removes the stroke on the mask itself and when I add the return stroke, it adds the same stroke to objects in the clipping mask.

  In the file below, Figure 1 shows a rectangle with a black border and an orange circle with no stroke. Figure 2 shows the result of creating a clipping mask - the black line on the rectangle has been removed. Figure 3 shows the result of the addition of the black line to the mask - it adds the stroke to the orange circle as well.

  This is one of the many things on Illustrator that lead me to believe that Adobe people have never tried to work with their own programs. Why the hell would I want the shot to be eliminated in the first place and why would I want to add elements within the mask when I go to replace it?

  Is there anything I should do differently or is this yet another oblivion, I have to work around forever?

  

  Have you used the direct Selection (Open arrow) tool to select the clipping mask? It should work.

• 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.

• 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.

• Clipping Mask produces jagged lines

  Hello

  Why is it sometimes a clipping mask product jagged lines? I know not if there is a dark background and a session with a light above it, what is happening. is there a solution to clear this out when you apply a mask? You can see in the screenshot I circled where you see jagged lines and in the layers palette, you can see the clipping mask object. If someone can explain to me, I would appeciate it.

  Thanks to a bouquet.

  

  gradientmush,

  But if it behaves like a clipping mask, what is the difference between the two then to have these two features?

  There are differences in behavior, but in many cases, can be used, and it seems that Opcity mask is not the issue.

  You can use them as opposites: the clipping mask to show what is behind him, the opacity mask to show that this is not.

  This means that paths to use are complementary. If want to show part of a target object that is behind a circle, you can:

  (1) use this circle as a Clipping Path in a clipping mask, or

  (2) create a rectangle behind the circle big enough to cover the entire target object and cut out the circle of him creating a compound path (object > compound path > Make or Pathfinder > less before) and allows to hide what is outside the circular hole.

  You can use white or black for the object used for the opacity mask and mask invert checked or ticked. It is always simple/more safe to use white is easier because it is unambiguous (a black RGB is very good because it is R = G = B = 0, but in CMYK mode, you must have = M = Y = K = 100).

• How to create an object full of objects without the clipping masks

  Hello!

  I wanted to ask that I saw a lot of vectors on fotolia and shutterstock like this

  

  It is a typical example. world map with diamond. As you can see that there is no clipping mask, but all objects are in the perfect location. It is any script or any plugin or a tip or some way to easily create for these works.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You need the world map

  Then object > mosaic to create objects.

  Ungroup

  Remove all the white squares

  Their color randomly (there are scripts to achieve this on Wundes.com)

  Then object > transform > transform each: rotate 45 °

  Once again object > transform > transform each: scale and select a "random".

  Select some of them and change fill and stroke

  Select them all and reduce the opacity

• 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!
