• Clipping Mask Technique Question? -pic inside

  Hey everybody,

  I know how to add clipping masks to shapes in Photoshop is no problem.

  one thing I don't understand, is how to do part of the photo back once you have it locked in a clipping mask.

  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.

• Draw a clipping mask from the back/Above with applied?

  Hello

  
  Not sure if this question has already been resolved but I have CS6 and I always encountered this. In general, when I start a vector illustration, I tend to draw the outline of the object and use it as the clipping mask.

  Then I add details within the clipping mask by creating a new "paths/objects/etc" but the "'out of the back/above" feature does not work. " The new "paths/objects/etc" moves automatically to the top of the layer above the clipping mask, and I always have to drag in the clipping mask.

  Maybe I've done this wrong all the way through but its just something that I feel like I need to ask.

  
  Thank you!

  If the clipping mask is already there?

  In this case would want to try the isolation mode.

• 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.

• Create a clipping mask and insert multiple Images, forms, blending options

  I am able to do this in Illustrator, but I try to understand how to do this in InDesign.

  In InDesign - after I created a custom shape (clipping mask) with the pen tool I drop an image inside the shape (CMD + D).
  However, I would like to add other forms or images in this clipping mask and set the blending options. How does this in InDesign?

  Thank you!

  1. Draw or make the mask of future cliping as frame
  2. All put together that you want to be in this context.
  3. Group them
  4. Move them to the location you want them finally
  5. Cut them into your editing table
  6. Select the target image
  7. Change > passed in

• A simpler method of dividing or clipping mask?

  OK, I'm back with a new question. Design to go on Tshirt

  NOT CE DESIGN, just example.

  Shirt color shows while creating lines in the gun (indicated by black background)
  

  Here I have a firearm on a locked layer black background. All the white parts of the pistol

  are their own forms, grouped. (so the gun rest the gun.)
  

  As you can see, with a pistol on the right, the black background (color of the shirt) shows

  by creating the outline of the gun.

  Now, I want to overlay of this indicator on the gun to fire at

  where it seems that the gun has a flag on this issue.
  

  

  Now here's a clipping mask. Yes it works, but for what I do. I can't have paths in the background

  that make up the flag. No extra charge no matter what, just the barrel and research as it has a flag. Clipping path

  method also creates a larger file. For screen printing on t-shirts, these additional lines of the invisible flag

  can cause a problem.

  

  Divide then works fine. I put the gun in the back, the flag on the front and divide. Then ungroup.

  In the image below, I've removed many of the parts of the Pavilion which were divided.

  However, then I have to hunt for the paths that I want to be transparent (so shirt shows through lines).

  It takes a lot of time. You can see that I chose a piece inside the drum of spinning, where the bullets are going inside.
  This piece is deleted, like many others, up to what the black shirt color indicates where to, once again.

  

  There must be an easier way to do it. So he superimposed the indicator only on the white of the forms that make the gun
  as a clipping mask, but where I can remove all paths associated with the parts of the flag I don't need.

  Notice to lovers?

  
  This is exactly the situation I have right now. I have a skull that I need to superimpose a flag on.

  I THOUGHT WITH A WORKAROUND... I'M A GENIUS!

  Thus, while brainstorming, I think I have a better method.

  We will use a black background as a cutter.

  With the help of a black background even size as a document.

  With the help of skull original to cut through leaving the black. (select skull and black background then split)

  Edit > cut black (who is a master of cutting everything that needs to be transparent.) now in the Clipboard

  Put the flag in the document, paste black flag.

  Select Black punch and flag.

  Divide

  Ungroup

  Select same fill color (by selecting the black hole)

  Delete

  ALTO! Left with all the pieces that have the color of the flag.

  ALL VECTORS. Reduced file size.

  I'M A BEAST!

  I now use cookie cutter method on all the models that I had.

  and it's considerably allowing a reduced file size.

  Mainly because there is only one group, which contains all the parts

  that make up the drawing.
  With the help of text and expand on the text damaged by arches, which had created grunge effects

  large file formats.

  Maybe all that could be cleaned.

  However, this method is so easy.

• Automatically create clipping masks

  Hello

  I was watching this incredible video-

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ebVFXphyJqw

  - and I noticed that the flash has a characteristic, which seems to automatically create clipping masks.

  She starts using the latter at 01:45. She draws the blue traces and apply gradients of forms that use the blue paths but also underlying art.

  I did find a quick way in illustrator to do it like that. (Trace the path - divide - livepaint - new filling can produce such results, but which is too complicated for fast frame...)

  There is also a right of the service earlier this year, where it clears the circular path segments. They are cut exactly at the points of intersection. Of course there are scissors and cutting in artificial intelligence, but flash method seems to offer looks a lot more convenient.

  Maybe these functions are buried in some side menus in artificial intelligence... I mean, I have Flash CS6, but I feel a lot more comfortable in artificial intelligence.

  If you know these features, especially the thing auto mask clipping, please tell me

  -Andrej

  Try to draw inside the mode in Illustrator.

  Regarding the cutting of access roads, try shapebuilder tool, it can also work with paths.

  Or the new tool join path (CC 20141)

  Or try the clever graphic plugin dynamic sketch

• Question about problem with the file using a clipping mask

  I use Photoshop CS6.  I bought a digital frame with a mask of clipping on Etsy.   When I go to insert the image in the image using the clipping mask image continues to show through the edges of the image (as pictured).  I tried blocking layer, but it does not work.  Any suggestions?

  Try this, 2 layer moving below 3 attach them.

  Hang out with the selection tool ellipse a circle that encompasses the area which should show the image

  Create a mask for the form (make sure the shape layer is selected {now layer 2 to 3} click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square)

  You should now see your image.

  If you get stuck, you can capture your screen to show your progress.

  Tips for the selection tool:

  You can hold the SHIFT key to constrain to a circle

  You can hold the ALT key to draw a selection of its center circle,

  You can hold both modifier key for a perfect circle drawn in the Center.

  Finally you can hold down the SPACEBAR to move the selection before you release the mouse button.

• can't Stroke object after a clipping mask? CS6

  Hello: Level: Beginner OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ps: CS6

  I have problems with a tutorial.

  He said to... Create a new layer and place it above the layer of "main object" (which has a clipping mask) and applies also the clipping mask

  Then I'm to Ctrl + click on the main object to select then right-click for menu, choose STROKE.

  However, when I right click on the new layer in the clipping mask the Stroke option is unavailable ~ is not when I click on the object itself on the

  canvas.

  So, I went in Edition > contour and tried to apply to the race in this way, but the race is not visible.

  I also tried to go to blending Options to apply the stroke, but it is not visible in this way or the other.

  I tried to search the manual for an answer and the FAQ but I can't seem to identify things.

  Thank you very much for your time and assistance

  Here is the tutorial, I'm following: photoshop http://designinstruct.com/drawing-illustration/how-to-create-an-ipad-2-from-scratch-using-/

  I'm stuck in step #1 ~ it's down a little bit after where I applied the noise

  You made sure that location in the dialogue of the race is "inside"?

  Because the layer is cut to the shape, the stroke must be within the form to be visible. 'Centre' will result in half outside of the width of the contour are invisible, and "Outside" will result in the entire race being invisible.

• Failure of clipping mask

  Hi, I just received a poster at the back of the printer and I noticed the edge of the printed work clipping mask. The graphics included in an image (placed in CMYK tiff format) and plain vector graphics on top in some areas.  I had a white rectangle (brought to the foreground) from left to right (at the edge of the page) on the image, then I gathered all the elements (white rectangle always at the front) and created a clipping mask (a rectangle rounded corners) about 1 cm inside the page to keep everything tidy. When the white rectangle on the image and the border of the poster are gathered there is a hairline of the color of the image. The full view of the page, I could see the line but when I zoomed close uber, he disappeared (even in the PDF file).  I've seen things appear a little asymmetrical in PDF files high resolution before even when you know they are aligned properly so I sure don't worry it was just preview incorrectly. Anyhoo! hope I have explained this Ok... can anyone suggest why it happened or how to create the work properly. Cheers, Sarah

  I think I know what you're talking about. A bit of the image a leak in front of the white box.

  Should not have caused a problem, but he did. Sorry about that.

  I faked it your problem. When I did the following, showed nothing of the image in front of the white box, in Illustrator or Acrobat:

  1. draw a big box that surrounds the work

  2. Select this and the white box, make a compound path

  3. Select this and the image, make a clipping mask.

  4. now bring your round corner rectangle to the front.

  5 Select all, make a clipping mask.

  Hope this helps

• 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.

• Clipping Mask question

  When I release the this image clipping mask, flowers and peas jumping out of the teapot. No idea how to keep them inside? Thank you!

  I had this happen to me before, and I can not reproduce consistently. You should not directly choose the outermost clipping mask. Most of the time, by selecting the whole with the regular Selection tool and releasing the mask only releases the outermost, as it should.

• How to reverse a clipping mask?

  I was curious on how to do the opposite of what would normally be a clipping mask.

  As a general rule, apply a clipping mask would do this:

  

  But I would like to know how to do this:

  

  Using a method which does not require the magic wand tool and who can do the inside edge anti-aliasing.

  Turn off and unclip the layer acetti.  CTRL click to load a selection and add a layer mask to the rectangle layer.

  You're OK with path Operations in the Options bar (with the tool pen or selected shapes?)

• 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.

  Hi nicolasw,

  Please reset the Photoshop preferences preferences > General

• Library adds a clipping mask

  Whenever I have put an image in the library, she's dating a unwanted clipping mask.  I do something wrong or is this a "feature"?

  There is no clipping masks in InDesign. I think that you referring to the image the image is contained in. An image cannot exist in InDesign, frameless, so when you drag one on an InDesign page, a frame is created automatically. If you want the image you did slip out of the library to be in a different setting, select the image using the acquisition card is contained, or the direct Selection (white arrow) tool, copy it, and then select another image and choose Paste inside.
