Fades on all sides, opacity mask? Gradient overlay?

• Hello need help with the opacity mask.

  Hello need help with the opacity mask. I hope someone out there can help

  I inherited a logo that appears to use a Logo of OM has a shape with a grad. This grad at first sight is not used in the Grad scheme and there is not editable.  Looking at the transparency palette I find an OM (pic1) output option. If I choose what the grad on separates it from the page of the form, that is from there I can change/remove as required (Note2).

  However, sometimes (he did no change), I'll be back to the same original form and output option is grayed out and is no longer available. Or I go to the similar shape that has the same treatment and I can't go out OM (pic3)

  The only difference is the thumbnail in the transparency palette, which is strong in pic1 and rated on pic3. What Miss me?    I'm not clear what the advantage is simply OM using the Grad palette to apply a grad in my form, but until I can get rid of OM who is there, I can't comfortably apply to the grad I want.

  The white gradient LHS I have no problem with. I choose fortunately only and each time get the possibility of release of OM.
  

  

  The other thing weird. When I select the white gradient. Sometimes, the exit option is in the palette without going through the drop-down list (Fig 4).

  Other times seems not that OM has already been applied, because the palette gives me the ability to mask rather than liberation (5 photos). Until I go to the drop down and then I find Release is an option after all.

  What is the difference here?   Not much of a problem, because either way I can release OM to be able to change the grad.

  The file is passed through several hands and play anywhere to try to resolve issues, and many stops and save slot, so something along the line was of course done a logo and not the other because of the difference, but I can't for the life of me see what that.

  

  I hope someone can help. Very appreciated

  
  

  See you soon

  Dave,

  I've (mis) understanding the issues, you can account for the box to the right in the main palette transparency (called thumbnail) here.

  Illustrator help | Transparency and blending modes

  represents the masking objects.

  Some of your screenshots show no object mask, so it only is not really a mask even if do the opacity mask has been clicked and there seems to be one in the layers palette, wherever you look.

  I think that it is perhaps the issue.

• opacity mask - is never completely 0%

  HI, I have a hard time with the opacity mask - he always leaves an advantage. I can't get really invisible.

  I have a solid square.

  I add an opacity mask.

  I put a white on black gradient.

  The edge is not fade completely nothing. He begins to maybe 5%, even though I have change the black to half way through.

  It does in my head - someone knows how to get around it?

  Is it possible that you use black only.

  Try to use CMYK (100% in 4 colors) and see what happens.

  You can sometimes get interesting results to play with color opacity masks.

• Never opacity mask is 100% transparent object

  Hello

  I ve you have strange problem with opacity mask.

  I want to object to gradiently from 0% to 100% of transparency - and it works and is displayed correctly - unless I result raster in Photoshop. Then, it looks like the left side of the attached photo - object is never 100% transparent. If I raster via Adobe Acrobat file, the result is correct, as shown on the right side of the image.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for your help

  I can easily reproduce the bug, and that's what it's a bug.

  If you copy and paste or even if you place the pdf file and I guess the Illustrator into a photoshop document file and probably open the Illustrator file in Photoshop, you will get the same result, it will not disappear to full transparency.

  But there is a work around which is in the file > export > then open Photoshop or pace that docuent and everything will be as expected.

  You do not have something wrong, it's a bug.

  How happened so long without anyone noticing it is beyond me, and I'd say it's a bug in Photoshop, but it is unlikely that they will admit it

  and therefore export to psd rather than paste, place or opening in Photoshop is the work around.

  Place or open the pdf in Photoshop will not work because of the way translated photoshop mask too thin way so that Illustrator export to psd very well. This is why I call it a problem of Photoshop.

• Why my Illustrator file linked with an opacity mask to my Indesign file a washed out appearance?

  I have an indesign this work of Illustrator related uses of the file. The illustrator files contain opacity masks, and when I import into my layout indesign they give the bottom of the pages a washed out appearance. I noticed that the page in my project Indesign who doesn't have opacity masks linked seems fine.

  So, I know that the opacity mask is performing the indesign document somehow but I don't know how to solve the problem. I tried merging the texture in the opacity mask, flattening of the illustration illustrator, paste the illustrator shape directly on the page, save the work as a PNG; but nothing seems to work.

  Here is a picture of the page with the related work.

  

  Here is one of how the page should look like.

  

  Here is the configuration of my illustration illustrator opacity mask. Its basically a group of white textures I pasted in the opacity mask. It's a single layer.

  

  If anyone has any ideas or ideas, I would be happy. I hope I have provided enough details.

  Thank you for all your help. I thought about it. I did the background texture in photoshop and converted to grayscale. Turns out I should have converted to CMYK. Once I did this everything unified in my indesign document.

  Kind of a moment of c ' h but good.

  Thanks again for all the quick responses.

• several opacity masks

  Hello

  I want to make several masks on a single layer opacity.

  It seems that I have to do each mask opacity individually.

  Is there a way I can all have them at the same time? (they are the exact same just opacity masks located in different places on the layer).

  Thank you kindly.

  Rob,

  You can make a mask opacity at a time, but you can use several objects like the paths of masking if you group as Doug said, or turn them into a compound path (better to avoid that if they overlap because you may get funny holes).

  How I changed the color of something? OK, so I use to be able to change the color of things, but now I have use color overlay, gradient overlay, or change the color when I first create the form, it turns into another shade of gray instead of change the color, I chose.

  Three things I can think of:

  Your document must be in RGB mode.

  Layer blending mode should be set to Normal

  Masks are grayscale. If you select the mask, you cannot apply a color.

  Always check your tab at the top to see if what you choose is RGB or grayscale.

• One way to detect opacity masks?

  Is it possible to access or detect an existing opacity via the script mask? (I saw a couple of similar questions in 2013 and I was wondering if something had changed in CC2015.)

  My question is this: I wrote an Extension that automates several tasks of pre-press on files sent by customers. The client files sometimes contain masks, opacity, and whenever the script moves or rotates work, the content of the mask do not move with the rest of the art, causing the incorrect file. Sometimes, these errors can be subtle so that they go unnoticed until the customer sees (and it's uppercase BAD). I've been looking for a way to control, or even just to detect, a mask opacity of a script without success. If this is not possible, the community has found another way to move or turn the work while retaining the opacity masks, without the need to directly access?

  Thank you!

  With CS6 + I think it would be possible, in only a few specific situations, to detect the opacity mask by flattening an object and taking a count of the items before and after. To flatten, you probably need to record an action to flatten transparency and play from the script, that's what I did. The opacity mask is developing a group of Clip element, with all the stuff in it, and the clip group appears as the top inside an object group that contains all flattened artwork.

  Then, I would suggest trying to use effects or something, to rotate art.
  However, I noticed that I could simply record an action to make and release the opacity mask. This means that CS6 + you can go through the elements and release/make opacity masks, perhaps freeing, spin and make the whole mask again.

• Premiere Pro CC 2015 opacity masks have no effect

  I can't really the word to that very well, but any help would be awesome, I recently made some changes in cc 2015 and enjoyed using the new opacity masks that took place, unfortunately, after saving my work and close, then reopen later, none of the masks work.

  All keyframes are still on their schedule, but the masks are seen no effect on images, I tried to move the images to another sequence as well as to check if it was just a mistake in the... Preview window that has not been exported.

  Although this isn't a large amount of work and it is only recreational I put a little time and want to be able to solve this problem in the future.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Last idea: turn off equipment MPE.

  HAVE CS5

  I created this logo in Illustrator. I did my Masters with a pen tool, put a grunge texture of vector on the top of the forms and then used "make opacity mask" for my grunge effect. As you can see in the screenshot of my illy is all very clean and looking like it should. When you open my other photo you can see that as soon as I transferred (cmd + cmd copy + paste) the logo in PS you can now see pale lines where the forms used to be * highlighted in red *. I also tried place the .ai file in ps, but got the same effect. I use all colors pantone on the logo, the two documents are placed at 300 dpi... uh I don't see anything else. PS is in RGB, Illustrator is CMYK (but using Pantone)

  What gives, how do I get my logo to look in PS as well as in Illustrator?

  Simple. Your opacity mask black is dark gray.

• Gradient Overlay gradient vs compare/contrast

  I understand that correctly?

  With the Gradient Overlay on an adjustment layer, I'm able to edit the gradient necessary once it has been created. However, the effects cannot be applied to a layer of transpareent. This prevents me to create a gradient that transparent desolves.

  With the gradient tool, I am able to create a gradient layer that fades to transparent, but once the gradient has been placed on a layer, I'm not able to change it. In other words, I have to get the right gradient through a method of trials and errors creating the gradient, delete and create again with the new property settings.

  I see no way to create a gradient that fades transparent that I can change.  Am I missing something?

  TIA

  The layer effects do not work on empty layers, there must be some pixels

  on the layer.

  Try to use a gradient fill layer, which is adjustable at any time by double clicking

  Click the layer of filling in the layers panel.

• How can we transform an art opacity mask?

  Hi all

  I created a triangle and created an opacity mask that own. Look in the opacityMask.jpg file

  Now I used the AITransfromSuite::Transfrom () function to transfrom the own art. Own turns to a new location, but the opacity mask is not transfromed? Look in the transfromedTriangle.jpg file.

  So, could you please tell me how we transfrom opacity to hide so that the inputTriangle and the transformedTriangle are the same?

  I think I understand. According to me, it was a work of art with an opacity mask and he has transformed the art but did not move the mask opacity in art. The answer is, of course, that you need to transform art opacity as well. There is an option in AITransformArt.h - kTransformLinkedMasks - that will transform the masks if they are 'linked', which I believe is the case here. Assuming you are using AITransformArt::TransformArt (), associate this flag which have passed into the call and I hope this will solve your problem.

• 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.

  

• Why my three way color corrector mask acts as an opacity mask?

  I have corrected the color of the clips, but when I looked at them a few minutes later, the mask is black. As if it was an opacity mask.

  (I use a mask path and some saturation (don't think this applies well))

  Thanks in advance.

  YES I found it! So easy, and I probably should know... If you have several effects on a clip, that "covers" the other. Like videotrack 2 covering track 1 in the timeline panel.

• Scripts do not move the opacity masks

  I use the following script to move an item with an opacity mask in illustrator.

  activeDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  selectedItem = activeDoc.selection var [0];

  selectedItem.translate (-10, -10);

  The element moves, but the opacity mask stays in the same place. I confirmed that the opacity mask is locked with the element. I also see an element of form in the data browser. The vector object that was used to create the opacity mask is no longer present in the data view. Any ideas?

  My script actually ended out mistake when an item that you are trying to select once again has a sub hidden element. To work around this problem, I have actually used script dialogue for the relocation of Silly-V to replace my actions of alignment. The result is the following. I have confirmed that it works with the hidden items sub and opacity masks.
