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.

  • Why is frequently around logos clipping masks?

    I've never really understood this, but often when I download or receive a logo for a company and open the file in Illustrator, there's a clipping mask that the work is grouped in.

    Why is this? I don't understand the point of containing the work of logo in a clipping mask... every time I worked on the logos I just group the elements at the end and save it as is.

    What Miss me?

    I found that more often, it means that somewhere down the line the logo has been registered in the form (and then open of) a PDF file without "Preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" checked. Clipping maske is the initial size of the art Commission.

  • 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.

    quadrants1.pngquadrants2.png

    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):

    mask-test.png

    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?

  • 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.

    Illustrator capture 1.jpg

    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.

  • Gradients to InDesign in Illustrator without clipping masks

    A customer created their logo in InDesign and there a lot of gradients and transparency involved. If I export as EPS or PDF or I copy and paste into Illustrator, everything happens as clipping masks. I really don't want to have to recreate all the gradients and transparency from scratch. No work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • 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.

  • Clipping Mask reverse

    Hello

    I'm working on a simple design of a Sun. I want that all the rays of the Sun to have an as far away from the center circle. The rays are three lines which run all the way to appear at the other side of the Sun. I made the rays using lines with a heavy blow, and then I chose each line, went to the object > path > stroke outline to convert the lines into an object of four points.

    I reached equal space around the Sun by simply applying a white line around the Sun, I did as an example of what I try to achieve. Is it possible to apply a reverse clipping mask or another method to cut all the lines perfectly around the circle?

    Sun.pngthe circle of the Sun.

    You can select all the objects and select object > break down (it can offer to break up the look in option)

    If you expand all objects you can then use Pathfinder > fracture to cut all objects on another. If you ungroup then the resulting objects, you can remove all additional thresholds that you don't need, leaving you with your rays and the Sun (note that they will be all filled objects, without hits)

    This will also cause the paths underlying rays have cut through your circle, so if you select all the "pieces" of the circle and use Pathfinder > unit you can "go back".

  • Any PDF to AI > clipping masks different 1 million?

    I've been using have for about 10 years, and I meet this problem before but somehow did the trick around it. However, I would go to the bottom of him this time.

    First off this happened CS5, CS6, and CC.

    I imported a PDF file from a scanned plan thinking that I would make a few changes to line weight and color + graphics for a presentation, it is, but it is divided into a large NUMBER of different items within a clipping mask LOT different. This happens just to open a PDF file in artificial intelligence. Does anyone know why an imported PDF do that? Also, how is the best and fastest way to get it back in a few tracks. Example below.

    Capture 4.PNGCapture 2.PNGCapture 03.PNG

    The PDF file is a raster image file. Each of these boxes is a single raster containing about 3 MB of data. You can use select all and then object > clipping mask > Release. You can use the object > rasterize to create a single frame of the entire file and try to use the Image path > stroke, but it will be a long-term task.

  • Inside, clipping masks to draw & paint Live

    I made a drawing of an excavation of stone floor and I used 'draw inside' to delimit the borders of excavation as below:

    Drawing_1.png

    and this is what it looks like with selected content edit:

    Drawing_2.png

    Unfortunately, I also wanted to bring in drawing mode "Live painting" the sections "coloring" (the above is just a small section of a much larger design), but because 'draw inside' creates a clipping mask, this object is now incompatible with the paradigm "live painting"! So I thought I would "expand appearance" to continue and that's what I get:

    Drawing_3.png

    What is everything? Whatever it is, it is not very useful!

    My question is, is there a way for me to properly translate an object 'draw inside' to a 'Live Paint group "? The items above are simple shapes with a single filling and the race.

    Thank you

    Release the clipping mask (which is inside this draw is in reality) and do a clipping from the database layer mask instead (click on the button layer mask in the layer panel)

    Then you can paint them direct: select all, but the mask and just use the live paint tool.

  • 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.

  • Clipping masks in have CS5 removes accidents vascular cerebral and other Follies

    When you create a clipping mask, Illustrator CS5 removes the stroke on the mask itself and when I add the return stroke, it adds the same stroke to objects in the clipping mask.

    In the file below, Figure 1 shows a rectangle with a black border and an orange circle with no stroke. Figure 2 shows the result of creating a clipping mask - the black line on the rectangle has been removed. Figure 3 shows the result of the addition of the black line to the mask - it adds the stroke to the orange circle as well.

    This is one of the many things on Illustrator that lead me to believe that Adobe people have never tried to work with their own programs. Why the hell would I want the shot to be eliminated in the first place and why would I want to add elements within the mask when I go to replace it?

    Is there anything I should do differently or is this yet another oblivion, I have to work around forever?

    Have you used the direct Selection (Open arrow) tool to select the clipping mask? It should work.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Screenshot (39).png

    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!

    Screenshot (40).png

    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.
