Outline of the page clipping mask

Hello

I'm working with a file that was given to me by someone and I'm unable to navigate the clipping masks - one in particular.

Around the edge of the page is an object which is invisible, but is highlighted with a blue area when I go over it.  It is exactly at the edge of the page.  If I click and drag, all the objects in the file move together, so it seems that it is all a group.  However, the right click menu has release/isolate clipping mask options, so I guess it's a clipping mask.  When I isolate and study objects (literally all other objects in the document) I see that there are to many small clipping masks used to "reframe" the images - I can see clearly how these clipping masks are used.  When I release the large external clipping mask, all of the capture of small masks are released (not what I want!).  When I go to object > clipping mask > Edit content, all objects in the document become selected, as in isolation mode, even if most of the objects don't have/all cut.

So what is this thing for?  I want to be able to work with the objects inside this large group clipping mask (without having to click in the insulation everytime mode), but I can't get rid of it without destroying the small clipping masks, which I want to keep intact.

I've also seen these clipping masks full page when editing pdf outputs R and Matlab.  In these cases I have just release all because all masks clipping in these situations are foreign.  I just mention this to show that the grouping full-page cutting masks seem to be something that is commonly used.  What is the purpose?

Thanks for the tips!

Use the Panel layer to get rid of him.

  • How do I cancel the application clipping mask permanently,

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.

    I am having trouble with adjustment layers.

    I made a choice I want to brighten up a bit, and then I make a selection in the appropriate field, and then choose "curves" in the adjustmenlayers to inform the selected area.

    I also want to remove some red, only that chosen area, and then I choose "colorbalance" and I "alt-click on" between two layers to adjust only the desired area and whole picture, and it shows by a small 'broken arrow' he uses the previous layer to create clipping mask.

    And it works just great!

    But no more!

    Because now it suddenly applies this clippingmask - without me permannetly "alt-click". So now when I choose 'curved' the little broken arrow is here! And that bothers me big time, because I can't figure out how to make it stop. I know I can "right click" and click on "version clippingmask" but my point is, I don't want to do that, I want to stop it, unless I said, by "alt-click on ' betwwen the layers.

    I browes severeal forums, and the only thing I can find is how to make the clippingmask, not how to cancel it (Undo permanently, that is...)

    He owes me a sort of parameters... But I can't understand it. Does somebode please help me

  • Seamless pattern - using the images inlaid with clipping masks

    Hi forum,

    We struggle a little create a seemless repeating the pattern that includes the images integrated with cutting applied masks.

    Our model is a 550x550mm black square with various embedded inserted on top. All these images have the applied clipping mask to hide unwanted areas.

    These images are placed so that they create a pattern repeated seamless and that includes areas that overlap instead.

    Once we create a nuance of this model the repeatable area becomes too large because it contains unwanted areas hidden by the clipping masks.

    Because the reproducible area is now too large, it is actually not repetitive.

    We tried various things in order to solve this problem. Pathfinder/harvest to remove unwanted areas from images etc.

    None of them worked pretty well.

    We of livetracing just the images, but the complexity is not an option.

    Really we do our 'cut' in Photoshop or you know tricks of fantasy for problems of this kind?

    Kenneth,

    Try the destructive Act, with the selected clipping mask:

    (1) in the transparency palette/Panel drop-down list choose anything but Normal (Multiply is fine),

    (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector,.

    (3) thrill.

    This should reduce the size of the Clipping Path bounding box.

  • 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

    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.

    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!tea pot clipped.jpg

    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.

    Freddyboss,

    If I (put) understand it, the clipping mask simply hides the parts outside, do not crop the image/artwork.

    If you want to get rid of the external parts, you can do so by other means for vector graphics, such as Pathfinder operations or other similar means.

    If you want to crop the images, you can use Photoshop, or do the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

    (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try without him).

    (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector.

    (3) thrill.

    That's all (images raster to the Clipping Path bounding box) cultures.

  • Clipping mask

    Created a clipping mask (put an image in an object), to reduce the size of the image.

    Exported and the file is still the part of the image, although invisible, outside of the object.

    CreativeTreo,

    Outside this cropping in Photoshop, you can do the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

    (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try;

    (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector.

    That's all for the bounding box of the Clipping Path cultures.

  • Deformation with a clipping mask

    Hello

    Does anyone know if there is a way to deform a clipping on the mask itself mask? Whenever I'm deforming a clipping mask, the borders of the curvature are on the edges of the work in the mask. And not on the mask itself. Often that it distorts the work adversely.

    Thanks in advance.

    Acidwire,

    To really clip based on a clipping (instead of start) mask, there is the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

    (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try;

  • It is possible to select a segment of a path between two points outside their clipping mask?

    I have a way with 3D rotation effect tends in a clipping mask. In the Preview mode (Ctrl + Y), most of the road is not the clipping mask, but most of the visible inside the mask in normal view because of the 3D effect turns. I want to select and remove a segment of the path between two points outside the clipping path, but Illustrator does not select the components of access outside their clipping mask path.

    Anyway is to do without for as much free mask?

    ALWAYS indicate the version you are using. Regulars here using one of the six different versions of Illustrator. Assuming that the current version:

    White pointer: marquee select around a portion of the original route which is located in the clipping mask.

    OR

    Black hand: select the object. Make a right click the object. Select isolate selected in the popup clipping mask.

  • 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.
