Does not clipping mask

Okay, so I'm VERY new to this (I started about an hour ago!) I'm doing a mask of clipping with the mask being the outline of the France and the image inside the French pavilion. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

File > new

Open > Silhouette of France (photo)

Trace as silhouette picture > Expand.

Drag the new file.

Open > French flag (photo)

Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

Place the figure on top of the French flag, select all, do a clipping mask.

Then everything goes white! I can still see the outline, paths etc. of the silhouette, but I just do not understand what I am doing wrong! If someone could explain it to me in simple terms it would be amazing because I don't really know what I'm doing!

I would add the photos that I use and the end result I get...

SoBo,

Parts of France appear to be a group rather than a compound path. It would be better that you could expand the layers completely, by expanding the group.

As I said, an opacity mask can be more forgiving and work with a group.

I took the parts of France to have any respect and a white fill, otherwise, you can give one (or a black fill), then (the mask Invert suggested in post #2 was based on a black fill, sorry):

(1) select the two parts of the France and the object > group or object > compound mask > make;

(2) select all and in the appearance palette flyout, click make some with ticked Clip opacity mask and mask Invert unchecked (checked if the filling is black).

The op:

Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

To be in the same layer, just have a layer and file > place the flag inside image, then the image of the France and go from there.

  • Objects of the library in Illustrator CC 2015 NOT clipping masks?

    The functionality of dynamic links in Illustrator CC 2015 library is cool. However, our internal wired kit includes a number of model objects that are used at best when they can be dragged and edited as a specific instance. The process was EASY on the iteration of 2014. Unfortunately, now, all the objects are nested inside the clipping masks, requiring at least 4 distinct steps to clean before they can be customized.

    Is this a bug? Can it be fixed?

    Thank you!

    Try to use the Opt (Alt) key when you drag.

  • bug? Firefox does not clips load!

    Hello world...
    I have a terrible problem...
    I develop a site made entirely with flash (the customer request), and I rely on the ability of flash to loadClips (movies)...
    It already works on Internet Explorer, Opera and other browsers, but with firefox... it's like he's not even send the request to the server to load the clip, as I put some listeners, and the onLoadStart() is not called...

    I use the MovieClipLoader object to perform loads... then... is - anyone have an idea on what is happening? any solution?

    the site I'm doing is: http://colegiosalesiano.org.mx , maybe it is a problem of my ISP, I don't know... and you have to accept that I have TO turn on the flash on firefox

    Hoping for an answer... wish you a happy new year

    Hello...

    Kglad: I checked all the code, looking for possible errors, made some corrections, but the problem was still there...
    Arunbe: I use relative paths, although I've retyped the URL as ".". "/ example.swf", and the problem was still there... but...
    later finally found the solution...

    For some reason, the 'link' to the server was the origin of the problem... so I can think that the problem is that the plugin firefox does demand that the local host (host of the user), and the hotlink refused the download, so that IE, Opera and other, recognize the request made by the server... maybe I'm wrong I don't know, but now, the problem was the service of "link".

  • 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.

  • 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.

    before grouping, but stripes and clipping mask are grouped.JPG

    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.

    zebra after grouping.JPG

    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.

  • How to remove the part of an object grouped several using a shape (Pathfinder does not work, cannot get the knockout groups to work)? Kind of like the opposite of a clipping mask.

    I want to remove the portion of these legs inside of this graph, because a white circle solid at the Center intensifies the effect of the spiral.

    Background, the spiral is a mixture of the people flying around in a circle. The circle is then copied and turned several times. I have not developed the appearance again.

    There must be an easy way to do it, but I can't use the Pathfinders, the opacity mask, knockout groups, and make simple layers does not work. I just want to axe the legs of these easy people!

    Thanks to you all!

    Emmanuel,

    If I (put) correctly, you should be able to get the opacity mask to work as follows:

    Select (only) the White path and the mixture and then in the transparency palette flyout on create with unchecked Clip opacity mask and mask invert checked.

    Who must hide the inner part of the mixture corresponding to the white circle and let the front remains visible oin the background (circle and all that.)

  • Why the clipping in illustrator mask does not work for me?

    I have a vector skull and bone crossed on top of several images. I want the images to become the shape of the skull and bone crossed, so I have them under the skull of vector in the layer group and I select the skull and the images and go to object > clipping mask > Make, but he makes everything disappear. All that I got is the invisible contour of the skull. This is supposed to be so easy, and I'm extremely frustrated! I use illustrator CS4 if that helps any.

    Sara,

    What happens if you:

    (1) select all / any mutually overlapping bony parts and Pathfinder > unit.

    (2) select all parts of the os and the object > compound path > make.

    (3) select all and object > clipping mask > make?

  • Why the opacity mask texture does not work?

    I am trying to add a texture to a vector shape in Illustrator and I am doing it by creating an opacity mask. I try to use textures of paper for this. For some reason, it does not. First, I tried to paste the texture after clicking on the area of opacity mask in the transparency window. It didn't work, so I tried a suggestion I saw in the forum and stacked two layers, as you would for a clipping mask and some times and it still doesn't work. Instead of a paper texture, rectangle remains a solid color. I thought that this could be because the documents I used were too subtle, a texture so I tried to use a stronger texture. He always remained a flat color. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Is there something on my settings or preferences that is the cause?

    I put your texture on a yellow form with black wavy lines.

    That seems to work. I put a red rectangle on a layer below to show what is the mask.

    The result is perhaps too subtle for the black lines (just like painting on paper with a solid black ink).

    I would try to hide the separate lines of the yellow background with a more varied texture.

  • 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.

  • Maintenance of Photoshop Dec2015 cc is a clipping mask may not be 100% opaque / less transparency to 0%

    Since the update of December 2015, the clipping in Photoshop mask does not display 100% of the image, if the mask is white.

    It's like I painted gray on the clipping mask, instead of white.

    The image should be partially transparent.

    Seetings:

    Brush: 100% opacity

    Layer: 100% opacity

    Mask: 100% opacity

    System:

    Win7, Photoshop cc after Dec2015 update, German version.

    Why is it happening and how to fix this?

    I tried reseting Photoshop with CTRL + SHIFT + ALT imidiately after photoshop starts, but it does not result in a window that gives me the ability to reset all settings. Instead, I can see a list of the most recently worked on files.

    It resembles a well-organized file, but if you go in the tracks mode it looks like a file of hell :-)

    The problem seems to be caused by clipping masks which are made from a unique anchor point.

    Unlock all layers. Choose the command selection > objects > stray Points and remove them.

  • Mask does not move with the keyframes set

    Hello world

    Although I have been using this forum a couple of years now, I've never felt the need to ask a question, until now that is. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank many of you for giving me the answers so solve my problem until I had to ask. Especially people like Bill Hunt and harm come to mind. Thank you!

    Now to my question. In my project have a key of track matte on top a video with a mask on top of it. A bit like that: '24 Kiefer Sutherland - type' edition. It worked fine for me in other projects. However, in this particular case, I set motion keyframes on the mask but it only begins to move somewhere else later key frames are defined. Pushing forward keyframes as workaround does not give a nice result. No idea what could be the problem here? I'm editting a project of 1920 x 1080 and the mask has the same dimensions. The update for first mentions something on Facebook that I don't care so I don't think a bug is removed with this upgrade and I'm afraid of updates will slow down my work flow (as was the case with the last update of Lightroom for me...)

    I hope that makes sense to any of you.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Kind regards

    Sébastien

    PS. If someone wants a screenshot, please explain to me how to do this, because I can't cut and paste here, it seems, and I don't know how Safe a screenshot on my hard drive (without using Powerpoint... awkward...)

    Surprise: I'm also Dutch. And it's a shame.

    But unfortunately we have English.

    You cannot adjust the video in the mask without either skew (which you did by changing the height and width) image or cropping. And the latter is your best option IMO.

    So nest the two clips with the transition.

    Draw a rectangular white in the Titler the same size when the video is supposed to go.

    The value hidden by approach the sequence embedded in the main timeline to track 2

    Add the wanted poster for track 3.

    In the nested sequence itself reduce you the video and the still picture (probably up to 50-60%) but do not uncheck the uniform scale and set the position.

    To get this just the mask on the video down and drop the opacity so you can see what you do, when done to remove or push the eyeball.

    Fact.

    Let me know if it will work for you.

  • Safari Web Clip does not properly

    Hello everyone

    I have a problem with safari Web Clip and that is does not properly for almost all pages, as example, I participate in a contest of therapy dbrand/unbox, and I really don't want to open the web page, whenever a new winner is announced, so I created a web clip, but it does not work well When I click the web clip icon he asked the location of the clip and when click on done, the web clip is from a different region and I can't fix.

    Is this some sort of bug or can I fix it myself?

    Web Clip still didn't work if the cut element remains in the exact same on exactly the same site. This is apparently not the case here.

    Dashboard widgets in general, are an old technology that has not been updated in many years.

    Hi willpublx, when you have selected never "remember history" in the privacy options so you are actually in 'permanent private browsing mode' and that there will be an extra mask icon to indicate that.
