How can I remove part of object?

I think that it is a fairly simple thing to do, but I am a beginner in Illustrator. I am fairly comfortable in Photoshop, so I'll use Photoshop terminology to describe what I'm trying to do in Illustrator:

Here's what I'm trying to do:

  • I have an object that is a single sheet. It is a vector object and it sits on its own layer.
  • I also have another object which is a perfect circle. This object is filled and it is on a separate layer.
  • I want to create a 'selection' in the shape of this worksheet object
  • I would then like to "expand" the selection of 20 pixels. The idea is to preserve the exact shape of the sheet selection, but make it bigger.
  • I would then like to place this selection of sheet on top of my circle object and remove the part of the circle which is covered by the expanded selection of sheet I created earlier.

The idea here is to place my sheet on a circle object, but remove the part of the circle covered by the sheet, more than 20 pixels. Basically, I want to create the effect of my sheet through the circle and divide it into two objects of irregular shapes that fit perfectly on the sheet with about 20 pixels of space between the two.

There may be a better way to create these split two pieces of a circle. Basically, I was working with Photoshop basics here. I discovered the "Knife" tool, but I want to remove the part of the circle exactly in the form of my sheet - only 20 pixel bigger. It seems that the knife tool is free form cutting.

Thank you very much for your help!

Select the sheet with the selection tool.

If you want to keep the original sheet, duplicate sheet and in the transform Panel, enter + 20px after pruning.

The position of the leaf on the circle as you wish.

Select the sheet and circle. Click on Pathfinder, less before.

  • How can I remove the white fringes around dark objects - Elements 10

    Landscape photos in differential high contrast areas I get a white fringe. How can I REMOVE this?

    R_Kelly wrote:

    This can happen with a photo that has been sharper.

    I also found that the effect of the new "shake removal" is inclined to create similar artifacts.

    Sharpening works around the edges to change the brightness of the darker and lighter side on the edge. Closer to the edge, the lighter side becomes even lighter, darker becomes darker. The limit on the Board now has a lot more visual contrast.

    One way to thwart the "oversharpening" is to use a reverse action (blur).

    The effect that can produce a similar action on the edges in the opposite direction, is the "Gaussian" filter blur. The same idea is also used with the method "high pass sharpening layer.

    The problem with the "fuzzy" is that it removes the sharpening anywhere, and not only where the white objects are a problem.

    The first idea is to use masks to limit the effect around the areas at issue.

    The other idea is to use a "fuzzy" selective running only on the clear part of the edge.

    To try this, select a test with details of file image and sharpen strongly to the visible white fringes.

    -duplicate your background.

    -Apply the filter ' other > high pass with a radius of 1 to 3 and choose a like a soft light blending mode. (even more sharpening)

    -reverse this layer: blur effect as with Gaussian blur.

    -Stamp visible (create a new layer with the resulting effect)

    -remove or hide the high pass layer

    -set the new layer to "compete."

    The result is that you always keep the original on the dark side of the edges, while sharpening effect by masking the effect on the lighter side.

    Of course, using masks to apply the effect on the areas with problems is also to be considered.

  • How can I remove a symbol of the partition

    If I placed a symbol in a note on the score, for example a symbol staccato or legato, how can I remove it much later, once the cancellation is no longer a realistic option?

    I tried selecting the symbol staccato in the box part and then using the gum, and which erases the note instead.

    I also tried the functions > note attributes > reset all attributes and which deletes also all sharps to flats and apartments to sharp objects I did.

    Just to clarify, I need to make an entire partition, so it would be tedious to have to restore all the alterations to reset manually.

  • double job with firefox (i.e.2) icons are on the i - mac toolbar. How can I remove one of these icons?

    Duplicate (i.e.2) icons have appeared on my toolbar of the i - Mac in Firefox. How can I remove one of these icons, please? Delete Firefox!
    Have you tried the method Apple 'recommended', i.e. parts dragging one of these icons and cares for her... then the copy of the icon should disappear. But it does not... .the duplicate icon then a few 'jumps' back on my toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

    Have also tried the key 'command' and then by dragging the icon desired and holding to it... but the same thing happens... compare to disappear, the icon "just jump" back to my toolbar.
    Would be grateful for any help and advice on the above. Thank you in anticipation of your help.

    The only time I see two icons for a Mozilla application in the dock is when I have to restart after installing an extension or a new theme. The additional icon disappears if I restart again. I have an extension that gives me a reset button to use. There is an add-on for Firefox that can give you a reset button, if you care to try this remedy.

  • How can I remove chum research Malware on my Mac

    How can I remove chum research Malware on my Mac

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming model.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. The files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change within about a minute, so they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Search in the folder with the name of all these forms:

    com.something.daemon.plist

    com.something.Helper.plist

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    Here, something is a string, which may be different in each instance of VSearch random meaningless. So far it has always been an alphanumeric string without punctuation signs, such as "disbalance" or "thunderbearer."

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    There may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com.somethingelseUpd.plist

    where George can be an empty string of sense that something different. Yet once, there may be more than one file of this type, with different values of Gisele.

    Here is a typical example of an infection VSearch:

    com.disbalance .net - preferences.plist

    com.thunderbearerUpd.plist

    You will have files with similar names, but probably not identical to these.

    If you feel confident that you have identified the files above, drag only the files - nothing - to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Close the Finder window.

    2. open this folder as in step 1:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    Move to the trash all the files with the name of the form

    com.something.agent.plist

    where something is one of the strings that you found in step 1. There may be not all of these files.

    3. If you have whatever it is moved to the trash in step 1 and step 2, restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Do not remove the folder 'LaunchAgents' or "LaunchDaemons", or anything else inside of one or the other, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. Records are a normal part of Mac OS X. The terms "agent" and "demon" is a reference to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    5. If you do not find the files or you are not sure about the identification, after what you have found.

    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.

    This Trojan horse is often found on the illegal Web sites that traffic in content such as movies pirated. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit these Web sites and follow the instructions to install the software, you can expect more of the same and worse, to follow.
