• apply a clipping for each top-level group mask in the document

  We can assume:

  Art • grouped on configurations with a line called die.

  • All groups exist on "Layer 1"

  I am a loop in groups and work with groups who has relatives is "layer". I have to loop through all the groups in the document, but when I created the clipping mask creates a new group and live my loop. I am now a loop only in groups of "Layer 1"and moving them to a new layer before the clipping mask. My script is breaking after the Group has been moved to the new layer. I have a bunch of alerts in there for debugging.

  Inside of my plu script that it breaks in silence, in this example script is for me a 'no such item. There should be such an element, I just put there. Once the script completes, the Group has been moved, which means that the named path is right where it should be.

  Let's see if this works:

• Mask - dotted line Illustrator CS3 to clipping

  Hello world

  Ive done some digital banners in Illustrator using a triangle shape with a dotted line serrated sharp Bunting. I want to fill the shape with a paper I did. I used a clipping mask worked fine except it does not have the race which means that the document is not going in the Scalloped edges and it's just a triangle shape.

  Any workaround for this in Illustrator that it has another suite application?

  Thank you

  

  I'll make a quick run through some opacity masks.

  

  Here, I did what I think, it is an orange fax of your form. It has an orange dotted forming large BLOB objects and the same orange as a fill.

  

  I'm in the race and complete white RGB. you understand why in a moment. Then I have the form and the photo back and select "Make opacity mask" in the transparency Panel.

  

  here! It is now masking (and clipping) the underlying picture.

  

  If you check "Invert mask" and uncheck the box "Clip" it's going to do the opposite. the white mask an area of the photo.

  

  the opacity mask depends on the values of color; White and black are absolute (except if you check "Invert mask", black is opaque and white transparent), mask varying amounts of colour between the two. Here, I made the blue line. You can see some of the background through it, but it is not totally transparent.

• How do you choose the color of the exterior of the Illustrator?

  Hey, no one knows what happened to the color picker in Illustrator? In Photoshop, you can sample a color from anywhere outside the window of the application by clicking and dragging with the eyedropper tool. I know you used to be able to do as in Illustrator, but now it doesn't seem to work. I tried Googling the answer, but all I get are about a hundred people showing how to do it in 2012, 2013. Nothing more recent than that which leads me to believe they have much changed something in a recent version of the AI. Don't know how to do it now. Basically, what I need to know is, How do you choose the color of the exterior of the Illustrator these days? I have the latest version - IA CC 2015.3 I think.

  Thank you very much!

  Ben

  My guess is Yes. I'm on a Mac, but test everything that does not work for you, and it works very well, including the colors of the windows of the browser and my wallpaper.

  I booted up my (Win 10) Surface and get the same results that you describe. It could be a limitation of Windows or a bug, but whether you can report it here: feature request/Bug Report Form.

  In preview or photoshop:

  

  In the Illustrator preferences > appearance of black: select 'display correctly the black '.

  Also: is this for screen or print?

• Mask and the magic wand in the Select

  In Using Photoshop / select and mask Workspace for 2015.5 CC, it is said after the launch of Select and mask workspace allowing, "a selection tool such as the Lasso, magic wand, or quick selection. Now click on select and mask in the Options bar. "But when I run S & M, the magic wand is not available. Is it possible to add it?

  Martin

  If you mean the magic wand tool, no. There is only the regular lasso tool and the quick selection in the selection and the mask tool.

• Select and artifacts of mask using the new refine edge

  Hi all

  is - that someone else has had this problem since the last update version 2015.5.0 Photoshop?

  I find strange artifacts when using select and mask and the new brush refine edge that would not happen in the old refine edge.

  The Alpha channel looks good but the image shows of strange artifacts and blurry tasks and resembling traces of brush end hard.

  I took the time to correct my mask in order to remove any traces of brush hard edge, but they seams to still be there. I find it very frustrating.

  

  Hmmm... think I just found the answer to my question. I got the color box to decontaminate tiquetee.

  I have hidden without this box and the blur and artifacts disappeared. My recommendation for anyone making high range of editing and masking is to leave this box unchecked.

• How to fix the After Effects error - it was not possible to analyze the shape of the mask on the Clipboard

  How can I fix the following error: it was not possible to analyze the shape of the mask on the Clipboard. I have this note when I opened in After effects.

  Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 the end of 2013

  After effects CC 2015.2 version 13.7.2.3

  Thank you.

  Looks like your mask has too many paths of access or summits. Try to turn on caps lock shift before you open the ASP (project file) or before you launch AE. If this does not clear your Cache and preferences. If this does not resolve the problem, we need workflow details that let you to this error.

• CS6 Illustrator error: "unable to open the Illustration."

  Hello

  I am struggling with a few files Illustrator CS6 which does not more open with read-only error "unable to open the illustration." My illustrator can open on its own and other files are fine, but what happened now 3 of my files and its really frustrating.

  My work around at the moment was to open the corrupted format adobe acrobat files and save as .eps, files open in illustrator, but they aren't always the same thing in the end with layers and etc.

  What can I do for 'uncorrupted' these files in order to open or it least prevent this from happening again?

  You need not go through Acrobat. Simply create a new file in Illustrator and then place (embed) corrupted files.

  To avoid this:

  Make backup copies. Save different versions of files.

  Do not save directly to removable media or networks.

• Hello! I have problems with the Illustrator. Each of them is turning incorporated when I close the file.

  Hello! I have problems with the Illustrator. I link images, close the file, but when I opened again all the links is not respected and turn to the software! Linked images are PSD files, apparently without any problem. Anyone?

  Thank you, but the problem was simple: the box to save the file was with the option 'include linked files' and I do not understand. I never click on this option, but I discovered that my friend had clicked on this (we have both worked with the same campaign files).

  And as for the pdf compatibility, I thought this could be the cause of the problem and I have enabled sometimes and try to save it again, but it wasn't the cause. And Yes, the file remains much better with less than half the original size ():

  Thank you!
