• Clipping Path Options went

  I have InDesign CS6. My path of cutting options have disappeared, so what I say is when I go to object and scroll to the bottom for a clipping path and select the arrow that nothing appears to me go further with this, how can I that restore you? We had this happens on all computers with InDesign CS6 and have always been able to restore but on our most recent OS X 10.9.5 computer I can't get this problem is resolved. Any help is appreciated.

  It is possible that the menus were edited (Edit > Menus). If this is the case, you can click Show all Menu items at the bottom of the menu object.

  If this isn't the case, then try to restore your InDesign preferences:

• How to insert photoshop image with a work/clipping path in illustrator using the path?

  How to place an image in Illustrator using the clipping/work path created in Photoshop?

  I have a .jpg of an object on a background image. This image has a clipping path that écrêtera the background of the image. I could clip the outside background (in Photoshop) and save the image as a file .psd with a transparent background, and then insert the .psd file in Illustrator... it's easy. What I can't understand is to place the image (bottom) .jpg and use clipping path Photoshop be clipping path in Illustrator. In this way, I can take this clipping path and use it as a layer of gloss spot for production. I work on a Macbook Pro and CC2014. Thank you.

  But you can export the path separately in Illustrator, then he get married to the JPEG placed as a clipping mask.

  In traces of Photoshop Panel, target the path, and then choose file > export > traces to Illustrator...

  He'll write a .ai file. Open and select all (it's a quick and easy way to 'see' the path because Photoshop it will export with no border or background, leaving mostly 'invisible' on the artboard Illustrator).

  Then you can copy it to the collage at the top of your JPEG placed. Position them as you like, select this option and the JPEG format, then choose object > clipping mask > make...

• remove objects from the background using a clipping path

  A number of years, I've learned a very easy way to remove objects such as logos from backgrounds using masks and then saving them as .eps files that might be included in the InDesign documents without funds. You would simply use the magic wand to make a selection, inverse, create a path and the rest I do not remember.

  Simply, I can't find the notes I had on how to do it and can't remember the steps. It would literally take 2-3 minutes at the most to do.

  Does anyone know of this method, or something similar and very simple. At best, I am a Photoshop basic user.

  You don't need to (and probably shouldn't) eps more use.  This is an obsolete format.

  The clipping path will read as well in a PSD or a TIF.

  You can also use any Photoshop path recorded as a trace of shadow in InDesign, even if it has not been identified as one in Photoshop.  Object > Clipping Path > Options allows you to choose a Photoshop path in the file.

  At took the words out of my mouth.  PSD is the preferred format for most applications these days.  You can choose to import as a single merged object or keep the layers.  EPS works well with Photoshop.

  In response to Sid, if you use a clipping path to draw a logo, then you might as well make the logo as a vector of the form of the original using as a model.  I regularly take this approach fuelled the logos of low resolution for things like sponsors etc.  Because you do not use the raster version, you can n to facilitate tracking it.  All the perpendicular lines of the limits of the image (don't know why I don't have not just "square") can be stored neatly by use of Guides, but you can also force the path points to have a square to the previous point by holding down the SHIFT key.  The resulting vector shapes can be saved as custom shapes, but I use libraries as you can organize them better.

• Automatic import of Images w / clipping paths

  All my images are automatically import in Indesign with clipping paths lit. I don't want to! Everything started happening (apparently at random) a few days ago. Happens if I place the image. Happens if I slip and fall. It happens in any way that I get the image in Indesign. Help!

  I don't know how to turn off once it is in Indesign, but I have THOUSANDS of images, I can't select each to disable the clipping path. I was hoping it was a setting/preference somewhere that I'm not aware of.

  [Left the forum Cloud/Installer generic for program specific forum... MOD]

  I checked into this a bit. There is an import adjustment that allows for your to choose or not to apply photoshop clipping masks in your TIFF. He must have been checked and is now applied to all.

  

  On the next tiff that import you, select The show Import Options before clicking OK. Uncheck the box Use Photoshop clipping paths . I think you'll just have to do this with a single file, and then it must carry over the placed files.

  

• Clipping path that hides inside?

  I know not how to do clipping paths, but I need to make one that hides only what's inside the inner shape...

  should I make my way, then turn the tide somehow? Is there a way to do this?

  Thank you!

  wkjeiwoi,

  It's easier with an opacity mask:

  (1) set the color of white or black clipping path (choose);

  (2) select both and in the transparency palette flyout click on the opacity mask do with unchecked Clip and mask Invert checked/unchecked.

• Create the work around plan group, unless there is a clipping path, and then create the work around clipping path plan

  Hello again everyone.

  I was able to work on a lot of this code to other people's questions, but I hit a snag in my if/else clause structure... I need to make a plan to work around each groupItem of high-level layer [0]. This part is cake... unless there is a clipping mask. Visible limits do not work when there is a clipping mask. So, I built some of the loops that browse the pathItems search the clipping mask and return the visibleBounds said mask. However, I can't find how to structure the if clause in a way that will create the plan of work around the clipping mask when one exists.

  I am successful to find the visibleBounds of the mask and the creation of the appropriate graphic board, but it is ALSO to create a work plan around the visible boundaries of the entire group. How framing an if clause to determine if a work plan has been done around the clip path already and therefore not create a second work plan around the visible boundaries of the groupItem together? I guess I would need some sort of function to determine if createdArtboardAroundClip = true and if so, skip this group...

  Thank you all.

  Here is the code:

  var aB = docRef.artboards;
  var docLayers = docRef.layers;
  var layer1 = docLayers[0];
  var groupLevel1 = layer1.groupItems;
  
  for (a = 0; a < groupLevel1.length; a++){
      var groupLevel2 = groupLevel1[a].groupItems;
      var vB = groupLevel1[a].visibleBounds
      
      for (b = 0; b < groupLevel2.length; b++){
          var paths = groupLevel2[b].pathItems;
          
          for (c = 0; c < paths.length; c++){
              if (paths[c].clipping == true){
                  var clipBounds = paths[c].visibleBounds;
                  aB.add(clipBounds);
                  break;
                  }
              }
          }
      aB.add(vB);
      }
  

  Oh sorry, I forgot that one.  I was able to view the image basically to see what is happening.  Okay, so I saw a problem, you have one of your straps closure irrelevant.   Your first nested for loop does not close where you want.

• Make layers of new form of clipping paths

  Hello

  I had this problem for a while now, since the upgrade to CS6. When I create a new path on a layer to create a path he keeps creating the path on a new shape layer. That means, when I have a way to create complicated I'm end up with 30 + layers form which should be selected and deleted individually backgrounds. With the old version, I could keep adding shapes on the same clipping path using the pen tool, however I can't seem to understand how to reverse the changes to keep all the way on one layer. Is there a way to do this?

  I'd be very happy someone could give advice.

  Thank you

  Jamie

  Please refer to the Options bar.

  The tool is fixed"shape" to go? «If so, change it to ' path '.»

• Scripting: upper limit on the number of points in a clipping path to be converted to selection?

  Greetings,

  I work with some great with rather complex clipping paths tiff files and have written a script to convert a path to a selection, invert the selection, and delete pixels to downsample and save a PNG image with transparent background for the web.

  If the number of points in the clipping path is greater than 1000, Photoshop stops with a message 'Illegal Argument' and will not make the choice. "Making selection...". "the choice in the path palette manually works fine and works almost instantly.

  The problem is especially frustrating since the manual selection is so easily.

  Does anyone know how to give more points or to override this limit? I would also like to experiment with a scriptable command to simplify the path arbitrarily if there is no way around the problem at hand.

  Thank you

  When you say a clipping path, do you mean a vector path of a layer?  Created in the document, or you all ready clipping path create it using the script?  If you simply want to create a png image and a vector mask, can't you reverse the vector mask and or copy in which layer you want to cut, then resize?  You don't need a raster image to create a png image.

• Need a script for the trails and clipping paths

  I have over a hundred images (.tif or.) TIF) which have cut a path, but the names are all different. In addition, some have been activated for clipping paths. I need all paths tracks/clipping named path 1. I found an old javascript to do this using ExtendScript Toolkit, but it does not work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("location of pictures to treat... ») ;

  var files = selFolder.getFiles (/.) TIF | TIF / I) ;// must change to different formats

  argument newPathName var = prompt ("Put your cutting path name that you want," "path 1,"Clipping name"")

  for (var f = 0; f < files.length; f ++)

  {

  var doc = app.open (files [f]);

  var numberOfPaths = doc.pathItems.length;

  for (variety p = 0; p < numberOfPaths; p ++)

  {

  If (doc.pathItems [p] .kind == PathKind.CLIPPINGPATH & & argument newPathName! = doc.pathItems [p] .name) doc.pathItems [p] .name = argument newPathName;

  }

  doc. Close (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }

  It is not a translation problem, after all, some of the files had problems sharing & permissions so I changed them all to & read/write. So I ran two separate scripts because I do not know how to combine them into one. It's what worked:

  This is script is for the NORMALPATH railways:

  var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("location of pictures to treat... ») ;

  var files = selFolder.getFiles (/ \.tif$/i) ;// must change to different formats

  argument newPathName var = prompt ("Put your cutting path name you want", "path 1", "Path name")

  for (var f = 0; f)< files.length;="" f++="">

  {

  var doc = app.open (files [f]);

  var numberOfPaths = doc.pathItems.length;

  for (variety p = 0; p)< numberofpaths;="" p++="">

  {

  If (doc.pathItems [p] .kind == PathKind.NORMALPATH & argument newPathName! = doc.pathItems [p] .name) doc.pathItems [p] .name = argument newPathName;

  }

  doc. Close (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }

  This is for the CLIPPINGPATH railways:

  var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("location of pictures to treat... ») ;

  var files = selFolder.getFiles (/ \.tif$/i) ;// must change to different formats

  argument newPathName var = prompt ("Put your cutting path name that you want," "path 1,"Clipping name"")

  for (var f = 0; f)< files.length;="" f++="">

  {

  var doc = app.open (files [f]);

  var numberOfPaths = doc.pathItems.length;

  for (variety p = 0; p)< numberofpaths;="" p++="">

  {

  If (doc.pathItems [p] .kind == PathKind.CLIPPINGPATH & argument newPathName! = doc.pathItems [p] .name) doc.pathItems [p] .name = argument newPathName;

  }

  doc. Close (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }

  I didn't have a single file with two paths inside and a dialogue has come, and I changed it to track 2, no sweat.

  Thanks for all your help!

• Distort a Jpeg image with a clipping path

  Let me first say that I like to use clipping path jpegs in Photoshop. They can be used in InDesign course, batch and convert other formats that need transparency and so on... One irritant is that there is no easy way to distort or adapts the clipping and the overall image once the file has been created, or at least not that I know.

  For example, I'm working on a piece of furniture that already contains a clipping path, but the client wants the rectified image (or the prospect of the device removed, which I don't actually like). So, is there a more easy/fast way to do this instead of having to first distort the image, then try manually align the track of clipping or worse, make clipping path?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

  Distort the image in transformation mode (Cmd + T) can target only the path and use ADSI > transform path > Again (Shift + Cmd + T) instantly warp the path in the same way.

• Export image with a clipping path

  I tried to export all images from a PDF file, but then all the images got their own history. They were placed in Indesign with clipping path, then I won't be able to see the origins in Indesign / PDF.  How to export single images with clipping again path?

  Thank you!

  Acrobat exports only the image, not the clipping path.

• Script to sort Images with/without clipping paths?

  I searched for a while and can not find a script that will sort a folder of images in two new folders that contain images with and without masks. Anyone have or know of a script that will do this for me? I'd be very happy. W7, PS CS5 32 and 64 bit.

  Thanks in advance!

  Mark has made the work a lot more on what I have and it would be so worth having an eye on them.

  Mark only your layers to find together scripts?

  The script in its present form should find ways of trimming but not group layers.

  I modified the script to split the files into hasClip, hasPath and noPath of three files.

  #target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
  clipPaths = MenuElement.create("command", "Sort Clipping Paths", "at the end of Tools","clipping");
  }
  clipPaths.onSelect = function () {
  app.document.deselectAll();
  var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("psd, tif, jpg, eps");
  var noPath = new Folder(app.document.presentationPath+ '/noPath');
  var hasPath = new Folder(app.document.presentationPath+ '/hasPath');
  var hasClip = new Folder(app.document.presentationPath+ '/hasClip');
  if(!noPath.exists)  noPath.create();
  if(!hasClip.exists)  hasClip.create();
  if(!hasPath.exists)  hasPath.create();
  for(var a in thumbs){
  var tempFile = thumbs[a].spec;
  var Path = false;
  var Clip = false;
  tempFile.encoding='BINARY';
  tempFile.open('r');
  var str= tempFile.read();
  tempFile.close();
  var pathTag = '8BIM\x07\xd0';
  var clippingPathTag = '8BIM\x0b\xb7';
  var tagPos =str.match(pathTag);
  if(tagPos){
      Path = true;
      tagPos =str.match(clippingPathTag);
      if(tagPos){
          Clip = true;
          }
  }
  str = null;

• Help to create a clipping path?

  I have a Crown that I would like to use as a picture frame and adopt Photoshop Elements 6... How can I create a clipping path to make this possible? Thank you. Gary.

  OK, if you now have a picture of a frame with the transparent central part, save it as a PNG file (or use the file... Save for Web to save it as a PNG-24 file) which keeps transparency.  You should be able to use this PNG file in Quark as you described.
