convert tif with a clipping path solid tones CS3

There must be a better way to do it, I need to make a white opaque overlay tones the silo'd 4 c/image (this is a window sticker). In the past I would duplicate the tif convert in grayscale, fill it black, double the placed tif, re-link to the new fit grayscale and color of the spot color. This works fine, but is there a way to simply duplicate the tif placed, remove the image and fill the path with a spot? TIA

Altogether. First copy the image and then paste in place. Right-click and choose Convert clipping path to the framework. Remove the image from this framework and fill it with the color.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    You cannot use 'all', you must use the name that was used when the path was made. You can find the names by getting "the photoshop clipping paths" of an image.

    It works very well here:

    Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"

    Tell document 1

    all graphs the value allPics

    Repeat with i from 1 to number of allPics

    define paths to the names of path of photoshop clipping point of allPics i

    If (count elements of paths) > 0 then

    {set the Properties of the point i of allPics to {(traced clipping:{{class=fontblue}}applied the name of path:(point 1, path), type of cutting:traced photoshop}}

  • Gif/png with mask/clipping path over a background



    I am comfortable in Photoshop, Illustrator and decent am in Flash (but it's been a while).

    What I'm trying to do is to have several hidden objects (images - not vector) fade in and out on a background that is also moving. My client has provided me a psd with all images, etc. on text layers.

    I did w/transparent GIFs, but no matter what I do, there is a white line on the edge of the graph. Image was made in PShop erasing everything except what was desired and saved as gif/trans. White edge appears due to being on a dark background... I have change the gif in PShop and erase the whole circumference, save, updated and it is always there!

    I have messed around with the functionality of mask in Flash and am missteps through editing Fireworks can't do the job right!

    I can't find a source of info that is sufficiently deep to tide me over.

    If you have any suggestions, I have (not to mention my client!) will much appreciate your wisdom!

    You are absolutely right! It was not so difficult... thanks to you!

    (Hope you like beer, btw!)

    Now all I have to do is stare at the walls where I was hitting my head against em!

  • 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.

    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...

  • Make a group of clipping with a compound path

    So, as of today, I am new to scripting for Illustrator, I use the ExtendScript Toolkit. However, I am not new to my own script solutions and I do not have any experience with JavaScript.

    What I'm trying to do is the following: for all selected items-> duplicate selected item and make a group of simple clipping with it

    What I'm left with visually does not change the picture, but gives me a lot of clipped colored areas that I then can I change in isolated mode, which allows me good shading faster and better. That the doing by hand takes hours on some pictures, it would take a second with a script.

    The script itself is already works for normal PathItems. As evident in the title, as soon as I have to apply the same thing to CompundPathItems things stop working. My question is a bit like this old thread [problem with clipping path transparent], but I couldn't find a solution because I get different behavior.

    When I run the same script that works perfectly with the normal PathItems with CompoundPathItems I get this: 9046 error: the top element in the group must be a path element to create a mask

    Well, it's a problem. There is absolutely no difference between making a clipping with a simple path mask and a compound path in the GUI. Frankly reference guide not helped with this problem at all, the only thing that I learned from it is that the CompoundPathItem object is an attribute of cutting, but those included PathItems.

    Here's what I have so far:


    If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'PathItem') {}
    newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
    copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
    Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
    newGroup.clipped = true;

    }

    As I said, this part is exactly what it is supposed to do for normal paths.

    For CompoundPaths, I use this work around.

    If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'CompoundPathItem') {}
    newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
    copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
    Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
    compoundItems = selected [i] .pathItems;
    compoundIndex = compoundItems.length;
    for (f = 0; f < compoundIndex; f ++) {compoundItems [f] .clipping = true ;}
    var lineList = new array (10);
    for (l = 0; l < lineList.length; l ++) {lineList [l] = new Array (I * 10 + 50, ((i-5) ^ 2) * 5 + 50) ;}}
    newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add ();
    newPath.setEntirePath (lineList);
    newPath.moveToBeginning (newGroup);
    newGroup.clipped = true;
    newPath.remove ();

    Mind you, this workaround works in so far that it ignores that annoying error and evil and composite clipping path also works with the only problem being that created composite clipping path as it is always displayed in its original colours in the layers section and is always selectable. When I lock the composite clipping path I can work with it, but still...

    So the question is, what am I missing here? Surely, there must be a good way to do this.

    app.executeMenuCommand ()? That is me away so far, might be just the right thing. I will definitely take a look, now just to find a ref about it, because unfortunately official documents Ref I do not mention this command. Any place with a list of possible commands?

    Ah, also of course I only do for the isolation mode. If you care to hear the background, it is here:

    As I said it's for photos of shading, I'm working on. I repeated and tried through a bunch of techniques. For example, gradient mesh on my first few true works. Now these cracks don't do well with complex shapes, which previously I mitigated by using a simple square or rectangle gradient mesh and using the original form as a color clipping mask. It worked, but it was a huge field of work.

    After a lot of attempts that I went to the use of simple gradients as a background for the form, and then I do the shading freehand with the blob Brush tool, using a graphic style and filters to make it look like to the right. Is better, but do it right all the clipping masks takes me much more time than anything else.

    Now the problem is that shading is not supposed to cross the lines, it's impossible to do correctly without messing up the order, either using clipping masks, where the script. Because you know, if you use a form of the task with a strong Gaussian blur near the lines, you'll find yourself with stuff on both sides. If you do not start close to the line that the shading will be not look right if the darker the shade needs to be close to the line. And that's where magic of clipping masks.

    And finally, here's an example of how I work with the script and the result:

    After that I drew a sketch, adjust the line widths and at the neatness I turn the paths to sketch the lines and then turn them into a live paint Group (which would ruin the line widths, unless you put the paths in first contour lines).

    With this live paint group need me a few minutes to color my piece dish. Then I develop the live paint group, in case of doubt, spend a few more minutes to make transparent traces of all regions, I need the shadow in one piece, and then I select all areas and use my script to activate the neat clipping masks. Then I can click on any field, enter the isolation mode, and go up one level, so I'm in the appropriate group, where I can shadow freely without the problem beyond the lines.

    At the end which allows me to apply shading complex and comprehensive, without wasting time to get there.

    PS: well, I just found out that draw inside is really close to what I want to do, and oddly enough, it produces the same Visual discrepancy with transparent traces that produces my script. I'll take a closer look that, while my script is a little more than just the stuff of clipping mask, so maybe I'll go for a hybrid solution. Everything that makes for a better workflow.

  • How to make Cut-Out with Clipping Path?

    Hello, help please?

    I need to provide a photo of an object that has been described as a 'Cut Out' and a Clipping Path must be included. Now I know this is not a rare condition, but I've never been asked before.  I tried to fill out the application, but unfortunately I was unsuccessful so far.

    OK... so with CS5. I cut the object using the feather (background selected then removed). I saved the way like a 'selection '. But what I ache to understand is this.

    The need is a jpeg file. And I know that if I flatten the file, then save in jpeg format, I'll lose the bottom of transparency and the article will be on white background. So if I send this file how the recipient find the clipping path - which I presume is the path that I saved in the paths tab?  Because when I flattened, I won't lose channels or paths. The captain that they will be an object of the required dimensions, they claimed, but it will be on a white background, therefore, he will not be able to simply 'fit' as a single item in any work they need to.

    Other elements were provided by other people and their file is a jpeg file, and he says he understands a clipping path.  So, I understand that this is possible, but I just can't get out!

    Sometimes I feel so dumb!

    Any help will be much appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    Mark

    I don't think that you can incorporate a clipping path into a jpg file, but you can send a png image

    with transparency based on web or low range of printing. (not recommended).

    The usual method is .psd or .tiff with transparency or the clipping integrated.

  • Binding of Photoshop EPS files with clipping paths

    I'm under InDesign CS4 6.0.3 on a dual 2 GHz G5 with Mac OS X 10.5.7.

    We have a workflow that involves files Photoshop EPS being placed in InDesign with object value path of Photoshopclipping path.  If the link is updated or re-issued of the moment, InDesign no longer the image of the boundaries of the way - either on the screen or export to PDF - although still illustrates object -> Clipping Path -> Options choose the type of game to Tracé Photoshop.  The only way I found to get the clipping path to apply fully to the image is to change the type of Tracé Photoshop to zero and return to the Trail Photoshop, while the Preview box is on.  I tried different combinations to transform the Apply Photoshop Clipping Path option on / off power at the time of the initial implementation and at the time of the reissue of links with no effect on this behavior.

    Assuming that you use one format other than EPS and use transparency rather than masks are not in play right now, my questions are:

    1. is this a known issue with InDesign CS4?  If so, can we expect a fix soon?

    2. is there something that can be done on the side of the user who is less bulky than the workaround solution described above?

  • 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.
