Cut the text from the image using the Pathfinder tool

Hi all

I'm cutting text from an image in Illustrator. I use the version on a Dell XPS 12 CS6.

I have scoured the internet for instructions and have tried everything, but when I followed the same steps in Illustrator I don't get my desired result. I created the contours for the text, so that the image and text are on the same layer, grouped (and dissociated) and then I tried all the options in the pathfinder, nothing helps. I've done it before with an image, but for some reason can not get it to work this time.

I even tried to make the image in a clipping mask, so it would be a 'form' instead of 'image', but that didn't do anything either.

If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it that I spent hours trying to figure this out!

Thank you!

Erin

Pathfinder will not work with a path and a picture.

Instead, put your text above the image (it can be the living text), select both.

You can then use the button do mask in the transparency to cut your text on the image palette.

  • Deletion of text from this image?

    Hi I am trying to remove all the Japanese text in this image 770.png



    but I'm in trouble. I tried to use the magic wand tool, but she always chooses a large area and tried selecting the red color but that doesn't work anymore. How can I do this?

    You completely misunderstand how it works. Your background is not a separate layer, so even if you delete the text, it does not magically reappear. Given the huge amount of text that you want to remove, it is inevitably doomed to failure.

    Back to the Vanishing Point, our Mr R Kelly has done a great job, but there is not enough information in the image for an easy solution.  Add in the shadow of the carying oerson the coffee cup and highlights on each side of her, then there is a difficult problem, and I'm not surprised that Talbot had problems with it.  According to me, that would be an easier solution

    • Draw around the jacket with the pen tool and copy in a new layer.  Keep this layer at the top of the stack and lock transparent pixels
    • Fix the text on the jacket (clone, or just paint with a black brush.
    • Try Content Aware Fill on the rest of the text.  It will mess up, but it might give you a better starting point.
    • Select this area of the roadway between the text and the Lady at the coffee cup and the copy in a new layer.  Make a dynamic object.
    • Use the free transform large-scale it and move it to cover a portion of the text.
    • I think that you will need to do at least a copy more to cover more of the text.
    • If you have joints of missing tiles, paint them with a long line of a black pixel and lower the opacity until. Then mask the bits you don't need.
    • The tones dark and light fixing is going to be tricky, but doable with careful masking.

  • Need help to set up the text over an image using skin

    As I understand this book.  For page numbers, the master page I use an image with the Page number marker current at the top of the image.  I want to be able to define the image so that the text on other pages will wrap around it.  The problem is that it pushes the current Page number marker, so I can't keep the number on top of the image.

    How can I set this up properly?

    Select the block of text with page number. Object > text frame Options. Click ignore skin.

    This has nothing to do with PS. Others are simply limits to all OCR process and you will have to live with it, especially since your image is extremely low resolution and the font used is not particularly suitable for OCR, either - too many thin areas will be ignored or interpreted as gray.

  • Best way to cut the Texture of the graphic Logo?

    Hello. Can someone please advise me on the best way to CUT a texture of a chart AND be able to continue to use mutiple on new graphics colors? For more precisely illustrate my question/problem, here are the steps I took:

    (1) that I created a graph of the card as shown here:

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.22.27 PM.png

    (2) I was able to cut a form of illustration of the map grid, using the tools of pathfinder. As shown here:

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.17.55 PM.png

    (3) I then found a texture I want cut in graphic design that I just created. Since it is a logo, I need the texture is actually cutting the shape, not only sitting above it like a layer of white color. As seen here, this is what the graph of the card looks like with the layer of texture on top of it.

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.12.10 PM.png

    (4) the only way I know, cookie cut the graphics card with the new texture is to hold the "alt/command" key while supporting on the "before" option in the tools of pathfinder palette. The only problem is that when I do that, a compound path is created, which converts the entire chart in one colour as shown here:

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.37.49 PM.png

    I need the graphics to be the original 4-color. The strange thing is I could cut the world lines of the grid on the layers in the map very well (and still capable of changing color), but now I can't when I'm cutting the texture of the entire chart.

    Summary: can someone please tell me how to make the graph below. I need to texture is the cutting of the graph. The only way I can understand to the punch the texture of the image is to create a compound path using the pathfinder tool. This leaves me with a form of cutting correct that I'm looking for, but while Brown and with no opportunity to change the graphic back 4 original colors.

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.12.10 PM.png

    Illustrator is hard enough without making it even more.

    It is a very simple step operation 4-5:

    • (1) make your graph of multicolor globe on a new layer. You 'can' block if your next layer becomes difficult to choose things.
    • (2) another new layer above the globe and create your lines of longitude/latitude and "texture." You can use white or black lines/texture, but one or the other. Select and group when you are finished. Suggestion: Make sure that all items are a unique, and no nested group.
    • (3) now, select your multicolor globe and groups of lines/texture "knockout" and in the transparency Panel, choose "make opacity mask". Depending on whether you used white or black, you may need to check "Invert mask" or "Clip".
    • (4) now... all you have to do to complete the chart so that it is a vector of 'real' with holes where a background should be apparent, as a "transparent vector trace" only (no need of masks), is: Menu-> object-> flatten transparency. In the dialog box choose: 100 vector, convert all the traits of contours and preserve Alpha transparency.
    • (5) Optional: you can ungroup the globe or the graphics and little cleaning, like throwing it to remove the useless way of 'group '. You can do it from the Panel layers as well.

    View, you don't need to select and recolor anything, because this method retains the previous colors, including transparency is now "flattened" and allows you to fine-tune the mix of color by itself.

  • We will see the adobe muse pathfinder tool?

    Hello
    I want to know that we will be able to use the pathfinder tool in adobe muse also?
    I think it is a great tool to use in the muse. I already used it in adobe illustrator. But if we
    can see this tool in muse too, so I think that muse adobe will get more option for this step.

    I hope that muse adobe will add this tool so we will be able to use it for various kind of thing.

    And what could do you exactly? Muse creates web pages, not content from the traces. You simply can not arbitrarily cut, remove, merge and intersect content because a browser has no way to make it actually.

However, when I restored my computer from recovery disks and then I leave Windows Installer in the English language.
