• create a clipping path, mask

  I like the Fireworks, but do not understand this part...
  When I create a web button (for example), then to place another image on top of it so that it's bleeding edge, but I don't want to spent at the edge of the button to be visible - how I would do that in fireworks
  Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be a clipping mask or a clipping path?
  Anyone know of a good online tutorial or a guide for this sort of thing?

• Create the work around plan group, unless there is a clipping path, and then create the work around clipping path plan

  Hello again everyone.

  I was able to work on a lot of this code to other people's questions, but I hit a snag in my if/else clause structure... I need to make a plan to work around each groupItem of high-level layer [0]. This part is cake... unless there is a clipping mask. Visible limits do not work when there is a clipping mask. So, I built some of the loops that browse the pathItems search the clipping mask and return the visibleBounds said mask. However, I can't find how to structure the if clause in a way that will create the plan of work around the clipping mask when one exists.

  I am successful to find the visibleBounds of the mask and the creation of the appropriate graphic board, but it is ALSO to create a work plan around the visible boundaries of the entire group. How framing an if clause to determine if a work plan has been done around the clip path already and therefore not create a second work plan around the visible boundaries of the groupItem together? I guess I would need some sort of function to determine if createdArtboardAroundClip = true and if so, skip this group...

  Thank you all.

  Here is the code:

  var aB = docRef.artboards;
  var docLayers = docRef.layers;
  var layer1 = docLayers[0];
  var groupLevel1 = layer1.groupItems;
  
  for (a = 0; a < groupLevel1.length; a++){
      var groupLevel2 = groupLevel1[a].groupItems;
      var vB = groupLevel1[a].visibleBounds
      
      for (b = 0; b < groupLevel2.length; b++){
          var paths = groupLevel2[b].pathItems;
          
          for (c = 0; c < paths.length; c++){
              if (paths[c].clipping == true){
                  var clipBounds = paths[c].visibleBounds;
                  aB.add(clipBounds);
                  break;
                  }
              }
          }
      aB.add(vB);
      }
  

  Oh sorry, I forgot that one.  I was able to view the image basically to see what is happening.  Okay, so I saw a problem, you have one of your straps closure irrelevant.   Your first nested for loop does not close where you want.

• create a compound path clipping mask

  Is it possible to put the stars colorful under "Softbrands '? "Softbrands' one traced clipping, colorful stars is the background image to be cut... It's just a prototype.

  I tried several times, clipping path was made, but the stars will appear in any case behind the frame. Enjoy all the support here!

  

  Here is the source file to test with:

  Thank you in advance.

  Kpolo,

  I just tried.

  The letters were separated; When I chose each other, made the object > compound path > make and moved them on top stars (both on the work plan and in the stacking order), the object > clipping mask > Make worked well.

  Do you have both

  (a) make a path composed of letters, and

  (b) have in front of the Star Group (as shown in the layers panel)?

• Create a clipping with a background color mask?

  I recently made the switch using CorelDRAW for my vector art to mainly using Adobe Illustrator. I know of course that there will be some features that are exclusive to Illustrator and CorelDRAW exclusivity, but I've done the research on trying to find the "equivalents" in Illustrator for some tasks I could do in CorelDRAW.

  I know that the tool in Illustrator clipping mask is very similar to cutting power in CorelDRAW. What I'm trying to determine is if it's possible in Illustrator to create a clipping with a background color mask. In CorelDRAW, I could create a shape with a color fill Uni, and then insert an image with a background transparent, as shown below.

  

  Now, in Illustrator, when I create a shape with a color, then he and a pattern that is transparent to create a clipping mask, the color disappears:

  

  Is there a simple way to create a clipping with a solid background color mask? The only work around, I've found so far is a form of solid color, the same size as what I want to be the size of cutting with my transparent motive, then staple in another form of the group. As I said though, just curious to know if there is a simpler way to do this, or if this is the method I'm stuck with.

  Thanks for any help!

  A clipping mask can have its own fill.

  There are two methods:

  -After creating the clipping mask, select the path of masking with direct selection and apply a fill

  -Use the option 'Draw inside' to create the mask. Next draw is at the bottom of the tools Panel. With draw inside the maks object will not lose its filling.

• 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.

• (AI CS4 Mac) How to create a composite path?

  Hi people,

  I am trying to create a compound path in AI CS4 for Mac, but I failed. We think that this would be easy, so maybe I'm missing the obvious solution...

  What is the best way to create a compound path using the SDK? I just need to make a path consisting of two overlapping rectangles so that I can create a clipping mask. Nothing complicated.

  The SDK is not clear on the best way to create a compound path, but I thought that programmitically by selecting the two rectanlges and then using the 'adobe_makeCompound' action would work, but this isn't.

  ERR = sAIActionManager-> PlayActionEvent ("adobe_makeCompound", kDialogNone, NULL);

  When the above code is called while I am debugging, I get a dialog box that reads: the purpose of 'Make a compound path' is not currently available.

  If I click on the 'Stop' button for debugging, the value of err is 1346458189 which is "PARM". So, maybe I need to define a parameter? The thing is that it seems to be without parameters required for the action event "adobe_makeCompound". When I created the action manually, the file .aia (see content below) has a parameterCount == 0. I've tried passing a block of parameters without adding all the parameters (instead of NULL), but still no joy.

  In fact, here's a more useful Variant

  box1 and box2 are the AIArtHandles for your existing paths

  Composed of AIArtHandle = 0;

  sArt-> NewArt (kCompoundPathArt, kPlaceAbove, rectangle1, & composed);

  sArt-> sReorderArt (rectangle1, kPlaceInsideOnTop, composed);

  sArt-> sReorderArt (box2, kPlaceInsideOnTop, composed);

  This will create the compound just beside each time rectangle1 is, much simpler and more likely what you want

• Ability to export an InDesign CS5 clipping path?

  I ran into a minor problem. We have just improved CS1 CS5 in our society, and at the present time, we are very happy with the change to the more 'modern' (if you found my advice here).

  In any case, before the installation of Adobe CS5, I recently asked our TI-guy to reformat my pc and reinstall Win XP again. I did this so that I can start from scratch and eliminate most common pc errors in a near future, (I got this pc from someone else some time ago, who used and installed some stuff on this topic that I knew or needed).

  
  Most of my data and files have been saved and re-installed. However, to my horror, that I realized that some of the image files in an InDesign document that contains MANY traces of clipping are is no longer listed as related but missing. I checked and saw that these image files are not saved at all.

  Now the problem is not return these images that I can quickly download and recreate a link to them from a number of databases.

  However, these images were all carefully cut out in Photoshop by creating paths of shadow for each and every one of them and these clipping paths are now lost with the deleted files.

  If I check my InDesign file now I see that each preview still retains the original cutpath of the original (but now deleted) Photoshop file. I tried to mark this cutpath first, copy it and then tried to see if I could insert it into an image file I opened in Photoshop, but this does not - at least for me - work.

  My question is now.., can these somehow clipping paths saved and re-imported in Photoshop.

  All creative, ingenious, heavy and even crazy thinking and methods are very, very welcome, because I wouldn't sit once more and spending hours of recreating these paths.

  Hoping on some bright minds out there... ;-)

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You should be able to get a framework it starting from the clipping path.

  Copy this image in illustrator, then copy from Illustrator to photoshop file.

  When you are prompted in Photoshop, choose 'Path '.

  Seems like a lot of work to be honest.

  I'd be inclined to redraw the paths again if they are not so complicated that they shouldn't take too long.

• Clipping path in PS is not knocking out areas within the railways

  Sorry if the title of the thread is rather oblique, but I'm having a bit of bad articulate what my question is.

  I create one a clipping path on a photo to place in ID - I'm knocking out the background and there are areas in the path of the perimeter which must also be knocked out (imagine a path around the outside of the letter 'o' and a path inside the letter to make it open). I did it on other pictures on this project, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on it.

  What I am doing wrong? TIA

  Welcome to the power bug Photoshop since PS 6.0. Here is a quick solution short of recreate the path from scratch:

  Take your direct selection tool (white arrow).

  1] click on the path in the path so that you can see around the object that just overlap the pixels.

  [2] make sure that you have not selected anything in terms of points. keep option and click on the inner path (the area you want to knock out). OK, you should have this area of the selected path.

  [3] with the path selected, click on the pen tool. Look you tool bar with the path parameter - this part of your path necessary to the last one wing OR the "exclude overlapping path area" setting.

  many times it occurs randomly just as I saw and on years. Sometimes, by selecting the entire path with the domestic railways and adjusting it to the far right also help. Sometimes you have only to choose the area that has knocked out.

• Clipping Path Options went

  I have InDesign CS6. My path of cutting options have disappeared, so what I say is when I go to object and scroll to the bottom for a clipping path and select the arrow that nothing appears to me go further with this, how can I that restore you? We had this happens on all computers with InDesign CS6 and have always been able to restore but on our most recent OS X 10.9.5 computer I can't get this problem is resolved. Any help is appreciated.

  It is possible that the menus were edited (Edit > Menus). If this is the case, you can click Show all Menu items at the bottom of the menu object.

  If this isn't the case, then try to restore your InDesign preferences:

• How to insert photoshop image with a work/clipping path in illustrator using the path?

  How to place an image in Illustrator using the clipping/work path created in Photoshop?

  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...

• 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.

• Automatic import of Images w / clipping paths

  All my images are automatically import in Indesign with clipping paths lit. I don't want to! Everything started happening (apparently at random) a few days ago. Happens if I place the image. Happens if I slip and fall. It happens in any way that I get the image in Indesign. Help!

  I don't know how to turn off once it is in Indesign, but I have THOUSANDS of images, I can't select each to disable the clipping path. I was hoping it was a setting/preference somewhere that I'm not aware of.

  [Left the forum Cloud/Installer generic for program specific forum... MOD]

  I checked into this a bit. There is an import adjustment that allows for your to choose or not to apply photoshop clipping masks in your TIFF. He must have been checked and is now applied to all.

  

  On the next tiff that import you, select The show Import Options before clicking OK. Uncheck the box Use Photoshop clipping paths . I think you'll just have to do this with a single file, and then it must carry over the placed files.

  

• Make layers of new form of clipping paths

  Hello

  I had this problem for a while now, since the upgrade to CS6. When I create a new path on a layer to create a path he keeps creating the path on a new shape layer. That means, when I have a way to create complicated I'm end up with 30 + layers form which should be selected and deleted individually backgrounds. With the old version, I could keep adding shapes on the same clipping path using the pen tool, however I can't seem to understand how to reverse the changes to keep all the way on one layer. Is there a way to do this?

  I'd be very happy someone could give advice.

  Thank you

  Jamie
