  When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind it does not move. I did this project of class before and it worked fine so I'm not sure if I have something started or... Any thoughts?

  I thought about it. That's all just stupid on my part and a bit of frustration because photoshop is my sworn enemy of then adobe added in. Thanks tho!

• 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.

  

  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.

  

  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 close a form image drawn to create a clipping mask?

  Hi friends,

  I hand - drew a skirt, took a picture of my design and trace the image to create a vector of my image.  I now use the clipping mask to fill my skirt with a pattern of drawing. See my skirt of drawing and model below.

  

  The only problem is that my drawing is not closed.  In the upper left corner of the skirt, there is this opening in the drawing (detail shot below).  What is the best way to bridge that gap, so I can use the image as a clipping mask?

  Thank you!

  

  Use the shapebuilder tool to fill the inside of the skirt with a color (any color)

  To close the gap, first double-click the tool in the tools Panel to enable detection of space.

  The colorful filling can be used as a clipping mask.

• How to create an object full of objects without the clipping masks

  Hello!

  I wanted to ask that I saw a lot of vectors on fotolia and shutterstock like this

  

  It is a typical example. world map with diamond. As you can see that there is no clipping mask, but all objects are in the perfect location. It is any script or any plugin or a tip or some way to easily create for these works.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You need the world map

  Then object > mosaic to create objects.

  Ungroup

  Remove all the white squares

  Their color randomly (there are scripts to achieve this on Wundes.com)

  Then object > transform > transform each: rotate 45 °

  Once again object > transform > transform each: scale and select a "random".

  Select some of them and change fill and stroke

  Select them all and reduce the opacity

• image sizes for the photo and moodboards clipping masks

  Hello

  I place images/photos to the web and Pinterest on my plans to work in Illustrator for both mood/inspiration cards as well to use with clipping masks.

  Should I adjust the size of the image files in photoshop before placing them so that my illustrator file does not become too large?

  Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

  Thank you

  Of course, you must define your own strategies for these questions according to your needs. Sure raster image data, excess will swell your files unnecessarily, but according to the availability of extra storage space in your computing environment and your ultimate output intent, may not be worth the extra time and effort for the goal-size things in Photoshop before placement. Only you can decide that priority. If the images are 'of the web and Pinterest', chances are, they are already low-resolution, and you would not shave number of bytes out of them anyway.

  Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

  N ° which is designed for elements vector rasterize at your chosen resolution. It will not change the resolution to something that is already rasterized.

• help of clipping mask

• Totally worked out of clipping mask

  I use a rectangle as a top layer to hide a work under it. When I do the mask, the underlying work is ready for the limits of the rectangle and all but the remaining parts (the ones that were supposed to be completely concealed by the rectangle) actually show above the rectangle!

  It was working fine until yesterday then I messed up probably a certain framework or preference or so.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  I must be missing something. The point in the clipping mask is to reframe the work at its edges. The work will always be on top and visible.

• 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.

  Good editing everyone!

• Clipping Mask Technique Question? -pic inside

  Like this...

  

  I love the way the upper part grows out of the clipping mask.

  someone knows how to do this?

  Thank you guys

  Hiya

  Simply copy the layer structure in my example. Once you have the image of filling on the top layer and a black layer mask in place, make sure first that the blending mode is set to 'normal', it should be as it is by default. Press d on the keyboard to select the colors of foreground and background by default, then x to make a pure white the foreground color. Press b on the keyboard to select the Brush tool and set it is small enough and halfway between soft and hard and the opacity to 100%.  Now click on the layer mask black on the top layer to select and begin to paint on the canvas. You should see the image at the top starts to become visible as you paint. If you go off and parts of the image you don't want revealed begin to appear then simply change the color of foreground to black by pressing x on the keyboard and paint on the unwanted parts to hide. Then alternate the color white again by pressing x and continue painting, ensuring that all the time that the layer mask is selected is not the image itself. If the edges of the picture that you paint look causing some simply reduce the hardness of the brush.

  Hope it's a little clearer.

• help with a clipping mask

  I have this item and I want to add a background behind him with the clipping mask so that nothing shows up outside of my my object (bible). I went through tutorials and that works, but it never works when using this object. Can anyone watch and help with why it doesn't work.

  Here is a link to my file have Dropbox - TestIcon.ai

  Essentially trying to keep the Red inside the mask of the bible, so I can use it on my icopn bar tabe.

  Thank you

  Nick

  I'm still not clear about what you are trying to achieve because there is nothing red in your illustration. But what rcraighead said, I guess that great shape selected in your screenshot is the object that you want to use as your mask and that you want to fill with red and you want to be able to see through the mask to the illustration of the book...

  You'll need duplicate large form and make sure that it is on top of all your other items. Follow the instructions in rcrighead. If you do not want the shadow to be filled with red, do not reproduce them; just put on top.

• Why is frequently around logos clipping masks?

  I've never really understood this, but often when I download or receive a logo for a company and open the file in Illustrator, there's a clipping mask that the work is grouped in.

  Why is this? I don't understand the point of containing the work of logo in a clipping mask... every time I worked on the logos I just group the elements at the end and save it as is.

  What Miss me?

  I found that more often, it means that somewhere down the line the logo has been registered in the form (and then open of) a PDF file without "Preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" checked. Clipping maske is the initial size of the art Commission.
