Library adds a clipping mask

• Clipping mask on a new appearance Panel fill?

  Hey gang.

  
  I was wondering if this is possible: I created an object in Illustrator and in the appearance Panel, a new filling.

  Is it possible to add a clipping mask for the new fill so as not the original object?

  
  B.

  No, it is not, you will need to expand appearance if you have 2 separate forms.

  The closest thing is below, but I get the opposite effect. The filling of magenta turn into a circle Elipse, transform recanters circle, an opacity of 0% and with knockout group work together for mask, but the effect is opposite of what you asked.

  

• Objects of the library in Illustrator CC 2015 NOT clipping masks?

  The functionality of dynamic links in Illustrator CC 2015 library is cool. However, our internal wired kit includes a number of model objects that are used at best when they can be dragged and edited as a specific instance. The process was EASY on the iteration of 2014. Unfortunately, now, all the objects are nested inside the clipping masks, requiring at least 4 distinct steps to clean before they can be customized.

  Is this a bug? Can it be fixed?

  Thank you!

  Try to use the Opt (Alt) key when you drag.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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?)

• 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.

• race around a clipping mask

  Hello

  I have a picture, I created a circle on top of the image

  I created a mask with the transparency Panel, it's a clip mask and the image appears only inside the circle.

  My question?

  How can I have a white line around the circle?

  Thank you!!!

  Mauricio

  To add a line for the mask, do not use the transparency Panel. Use instead object > clipping mask > make. You can then select the mask outline and add your feature.

• Clipping masks and opacity leaving hairline masks light

  I'm running a problem when you use a clipping mask or opacity mask in Illustrator CC 17.1. Either the type of mask leaves a contour slightly around the mask object, creating a noticeable pause in what should be a uniform background. A few details:

  I created a ring in 4 quadrants. Each quadrant contains objects/models which must be isolated from the other. Above the work of each quadrant, I stick it in Place a copy of the form of the quadrant including background colors and stroke are both set to none, the value of race field is empty, is not set to 0. Which meet the same color in the adjacent areas of each quadrant there is a slight balding. These are intended to be transparent, and I don't know why this is happening. When viewing as outlines, all vectors are overlap perfectly in my eyes.

  

  I tried the same thing with simpler forms, as a test and get the same results. In this example of 3 stacked objects, I built forms using form Builder tool (top), mask clipping (the middle one) and mask opacity (bottom):

  

  As you can see, the results are not consistent, but there is certainly some weak lines in each case. The constructor of the form doesn't have a line between black shapes for a reason, but there is a conflict between the colours cyan, where hidden objects stacked meet. At the same time, it is the reverse for the 2 following blocks.

  I read the posts in this forum and others on what is a matter of anti-aliasing, it will not be printed with weak contours, but not all applications of this graph will go to print. I exported files, PDF and various other formats EPS files. I have not noticed any loose in a TIFF file but the library files that I provide to my client will consist of the vector and other raster such as png and jpg files that do not show the low contours. When I place a PDF or EPS in Illustrator or InDesign layout, the hairlines are so that documents sent electronically, unprinted, have these visible lines. They remain also when I place an EPS in Photoshop that is unacceptable for the construction of graphics for the web.

  Can someone tell me if there is a solution to make transitions smoothly between the objects hidden in Illustrator? Or this just an inherent flaw with Illustrator (or maybe my approach to strengthen these graphics)?

  dugost,

  There is nothing wrong in the way you work with masks.

  It is disturbing that you can see the hairlines in a PDF file, png, and JPEG.

  Just to try something that can be stupid: you work in points/pixels, and are the quadrants in integer values (you can see the W and H values in the Transform palette, with integer values for two opposite corner ticked of reference Points and whole)? If this is not the case, what happens if you change to get that?

• Clipping Mask/white strips

  OK I find better to explain/ask as an example.

  First of all, I use a clipping mask to make a diamond shape. (as below)

  

  Then, to add depth, I use the same base filled with a gradient/shadow form. I use the alignment tools to make them perfectly above the other.

  

  But here's the problem, as you can see in the end on the right that it leaves little white stripes. Everyone can't see what I am doing wrong to find it? or how can I approach it differently to didn't get it.

  simsallabim,

  You can avoid the problem by doing everything in a single step using an opacity mask.

  If you create the clip with a black/gray/white fill and no line shape, you can just:

  Click in the transparency palette flyout to make new mask with ticked Clip and invert the mask checked or unchecked, depending on how you use the color range of the clip shape to define the reducer of the underlying object.

• Does not clipping mask

  Okay, so I'm VERY new to this (I started about an hour ago!) I'm doing a mask of clipping with the mask being the outline of the France and the image inside the French pavilion. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

  File > new

  Open > Silhouette of France (photo)

  Trace as silhouette picture > Expand.

  Drag the new file.

  Open > French flag (photo)

  Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

  Place the figure on top of the French flag, select all, do a clipping mask.

  Then everything goes white! I can still see the outline, paths etc. of the silhouette, but I just do not understand what I am doing wrong! If someone could explain it to me in simple terms it would be amazing because I don't really know what I'm doing!

  I would add the photos that I use and the end result I get...

  

  SoBo,

  Parts of France appear to be a group rather than a compound path. It would be better that you could expand the layers completely, by expanding the group.

  As I said, an opacity mask can be more forgiving and work with a group.

  I took the parts of France to have any respect and a white fill, otherwise, you can give one (or a black fill), then (the mask Invert suggested in post #2 was based on a black fill, sorry):

  (1) select the two parts of the France and the object > group or object > compound mask > make;

  (2) select all and in the appearance palette flyout, click make some with ticked Clip opacity mask and mask Invert unchecked (checked if the filling is black).

  The op:

  Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

  To be in the same layer, just have a layer and file > place the flag inside image, then the image of the France and go from there.

• Adding stroke to text with a clipping mask

  I want to add a black border around the text, so it enhances the text.

  I made a rectangle and added black text above the rectangle and applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text.

  

  I tried to release the mask and apply a black line on the text, but when I remask and apply the clipping and reverse the race turns the same color as the text.

  Your comment "applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text" it seems that you use an opacity mask, not a clipping mask. Copy the text (without the mask), stick to the front, remove the fill, add line.

• Why the clipping masks are made for a Place/Embed?

  Illustrator CS6 (all updates)

  I have a simple and clean logo with a couple of transparent traces (letters like the 'e', 'A').  There is no clipping paths.  Everything works very well in this file, if I save it, re - open and edit, etc..

  If I have 'Place' or drag this file in a brand new, delete the file and then 'Embed' work, it creates 2 the size of the artboard clipping masks.  More importantly, it messes up the transparent traces so that I have to select them and use the shape mode "Unite" so that it can work properly.  I see this when trying to add a line to the letters... the race is broken until I use the button on the unit.  Even undo the compound path and redo it does not work.  In the image as an attachment, you can see how a place is broken, as well as the way in which 'inside' or 'outside' is available for embedded version.

  What gives?

  Thank you

  Eric

  

  When you drag a. HAVE file and drop it onto an open. File to HAVE in Illustrator, which is equivalent to the file > Place, he became a partner. You cannot change the contents of the files linked directly because they are supposed to be changed out and update when changed. Thus, Illustrator uses the means to isolate the linked file to edit its content and provide a means for the linking functionality. These resources are provided by 'create a file PDF Compatible file' option when you save the. File to HAVE it. If you save a. File without this option and try to use it as a link, you will get this weird text instead. With this option checked, you will be able to use the file as a link in another. File to HAVE it.  Also keep in mind that if you embed a linked file it will equal not copying a file open. Coating can change the objects of no basic appearance. For example if the linked file has envelope distort, points will result in the expansion of the envelope that will produce a clipping mask group.
