  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...

• 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"")

  }

  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.

• Clipping path does not not as a compound path (Revisited)

  Is there a way to convert a path to exclude overlapping path areas (GEL)?

  I had traced a path around a car, then I added the small paths to hide areas where you can see through the car in the background (i.e. through roof brackets and wheels). But when I make a selection from the path that the external path is selected. I tried a little test. Without selecting the option to FREEZE first, I drew a square, then a square on the inside with the tool pen. The resulting selection was only one from the Plaza outside. Then I selected the option of GEL, drew the same paths, and the resulting selection is a composite, where the two places have been selected.

  Right now, it seems I'll have to repaint all my paths by using GEL to make the composite paths work, but I hope there's a way to convert my paths into paths of GEL.

  You seem to not having checked the jpg I posted which is derived from your psd.

  You must select all subPathItems (Edit: change their settings).

• Disable the automatic application of a related to PSD clipping path

  Beings,

  The forum search is broken so excuse me if this is already covered. I've recently updated to CS5 and every time I place a PSD file in my document, the clipping path (if it exists) is automatically applied.

  I'm using clipping paths in my Photoshop PSD inside Indesign more that I use, so I would like to prevent this happening automatically. This habit never to arrive before CS5 and I did not find the setting that controls this.

  I hope that this can be disabled because it is boring!

  TIA

  Check "Show Options" in the place of dialogue and stop it here, it should be so sticky.  Or if you drag from Explorer / bridge to do a file > place instead, do it once must reset it.

• Clipping path in PS is not knocking out areas within the railways

  Sorry if the title of the thread is rather oblique, but I'm having a bit of bad articulate what my question is.

  I create one a clipping path on a photo to place in ID - I'm knocking out the background and there are areas in the path of the perimeter which must also be knocked out (imagine a path around the outside of the letter 'o' and a path inside the letter to make it open). I did it on other pictures on this project, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on it.

  What I am doing wrong? TIA

  Welcome to the power bug Photoshop since PS 6.0. Here is a quick solution short of recreate the path from scratch:

  Take your direct selection tool (white arrow).

  1] click on the path in the path so that you can see around the object that just overlap the pixels.

  [2] make sure that you have not selected anything in terms of points. keep option and click on the inner path (the area you want to knock out). OK, you should have this area of the selected path.

  [3] with the path selected, click on the pen tool. Look you tool bar with the path parameter - this part of your path necessary to the last one wing OR the "exclude overlapping path area" setting.

  many times it occurs randomly just as I saw and on years. Sometimes, by selecting the entire path with the domestic railways and adjusting it to the far right also help. Sometimes you have only to choose the area that has knocked out.

• Clipping paths - practical uses of?

  Hi all

  So I have a trace of shadow around a periodicity created with Xtreampath. A square with what I can only describe as invisible edges. Mostimes I find intuitive Illustrator but I honestly have no idea what to do with it.

  So two questions please.

  1. What is a clipping path?

  2. What are, it is practical use? Please provide examples of how you used, if I can find a practical use for it, so I'll be able to learn it!

  Thank you

  Then there is that the manual will not tell you:

  In Illustrator, a clipping path (the generic term for a common building for which Illustrator inexplicably deemed necessary to replace by "Clipping mask") is the Illustrator for his 25 year, lack of the correct path cutting tool. If Illustrator users generally use clipping paths much more often that shouldn't be necessary.

  An example: Illustrator has this wonderful ability to apply several traces a single path (under the table, he draws in fact several paths, but...). This is very useful for the development of road maps. Large print users, develop road maps include hundreds or thousands of paths open, unfulfilled. Said users then need to cut a small part or detail of the said card. But are all cutting tools for the path of the Illustrator... Well well... of junk, especially because Illustrator has some kind of mental with its own open paths, not satisfied to be demonstrated by the inability of the knife to cut and the inability of gum poorly designed to let the rest of them. Affection is also revealed in usage of combination path common controls that work correctly in other programs, but not in Illustrator. (Illustrator optimistically calls Scouts because their use in Illustrator does a State of confusion similar to get lost in the Woods.)

  So the users throw up their collective hands and resort to using clipping paths... uh...... Masks that simply hide said users would really rather be able to actually cut, resulting in unnecessarily bloated PDFs and print streams. Just think of it as kicks from things on the floor under the couch when guests are expected.

  Mostimes I find intuitive Illustrator

  I would have checked if I were you.

• 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:

• 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.

  SRiegel wrote:

  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.

  

• 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 '.»

• Clipping path - automation

  Hello

  For a while I tried to figure out a problem I'm having with a script.

  I managed to write a script that does exactly what I want, which is to have Photoshop opens the selected files, and then apply the mask and finally save as .png

  The only problem I encounter is when Photoshop (CS 5.5) opens the selected number of files, it applies the script for the first file opened, while others remain unpublished...

  I expected to find help and or a solution for this problem.

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Kind regards

• 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.

• Script to sort Images with/without clipping paths?

  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.
