Reversing the path inside shapes colors

Hello. I get just the kick of the Illustrator and I was wondering if there was an easier way to do what I've done here. I am trying to reverse parts of this model in the circle. For this I started with inside star shape, furred and copied, mixed the two, expanded and extended again. Then I've traced a circle with no background or stroke and hit a bunch of buttons in pathfinder (don't know which ones, maybe something with divided?) I continued to try those, and they did not) after this I dissociated and chose each path and just changed the fill color for the railways and the circle has done the opposite color fill. Is there an easier way to do this because it took a long time for something that seems like it could be done more quickly.

You can keep you art fuilly editable.

Layer 1: your art to the postive format

Layer 2: your art with edit > color > reverses the colors

then put something on top of this option to use as your mask (for example: bullseye pattern)

Select your reverse art and your mask grouped, then use the transparency palette menu flyout > make the opacity mask

  • How can I remove the paths but keep ' colors inside their '? (Adobe Illustrator CS6)

    asdfgh2.PNG

    Heyo,

    Maybe it's not visible in this photo, but it is to me, and even more in other programs such as Inkscape.

    The problem is this: I have a box filled with a color (worse with white or black) - paths inside (with weight on 00pts!) create some sort of weird line through my beautiful color well.
    I tried to delete paths (in eliminating all) and also to export as formats other than .svg (such as .png), giving no results. I don't want my image rasterized because it relies on its sharp contours (as you can see).
    Unless I can solve this problem, my image will become useless...

    Thanks in advance

    You created it using live paint?

    It is obviously a couple of forms that make the work.

    In case it is still a direct object of kinf od, this increase.

    Then use the pathfinder "Merge" (from the Pathfinder palette).

    It will combine all these objects that share the same color.

  • Change the path inside and outside areas in the vector mask

    Hey all lovers of the PS/CS,.

    This is probably an easy, yet, being pretty new to this, I have to ask.

    I have so this vector mask on a layer, and singing along to the Beatles I'm changing tracks on this subject. Well, what it is is a rectangle to crop a photo, nothing crazy. This rectangle is too big for my taste - so I just draw another, smaller on the inside and plan on deleting one.

    But! The second, smaller rectangle is considered to be a delicacy to take away the first (so its interior is considered to be 'black' mask-wise, that is cut out, and its outer part is 'white', which is kept in). Thus, when you remove that first, largest, the entire image will appear, except for the part that I want in the Middle, which is cut! Yes - it's the opposite of what I want.

    Now, I tried to use the path selection tool and change the fill color of the rectangle, but you can not... So, how you reverse both inside and outside of a closed path? Thanks in advance!

  • generate the path inside the contour line.

    I know that I can't go back to the route of the path including the weight once I turned into contour line. But if there is, in any case, I can build a path to the center of the contour line? I don't mind the weight and color, I want just the path to be created there.

    greatveemongfx,

    Why some (or no), I cannaot see one of the images.

    You can:

    (1) copy the path shown vascular accident brain and hide the original until done;

    (2) direct select and delete the end segments.

    (3) create a mixture of 1 step the rest in front of some parts of it.

    (4) object > blend > expand.

    (5) remove the unwanted paths.

    Now you can view the original form described again.

  • Reverse the text of spot color?

    Hello

    I have a block too many spot color printing, I need to come back on a text. However, the block overlaps other colorful objects and these must not have anything hit out of them, which means I can't use the color chart paper for the text. I can convert the text to outlines and the punch of the block with the Pathfinder, but it is anyway to achieve the same effect while keeping text editable?

    I would appreciate any thoughts.

  • Reverse the flow of the text along a path?

    I have created a path to the oval text using a shape tool.  When I type along the top of the track, the lettering is flowing as it should.  When I type the lower part, it is upside down and backwards because the stream is the same as the top.  How to reverse the flow of the text at the bottom is the place and reads left to right?  Can't find info on how to reverse the direction of flow.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    pjcaver

    OK, finally successful: Type around the top half above the lettering.  Reposition the tool text down and continue typing, even if upside down.  Select the path Selection tool, drag the text down to the INSIDE of the oval that will right the text correctly.  Select the text that you want to go then it appears highlighted, go to the window "Select the vertical offset" (not the slider to the left of it) and press down as many times until it is aligned with the bottom of the oval, in my case about - 5.  For larger slices of movement, hold the SHIFT key while pressing the down arrow key to count 10 movements.  The upper part of the lettering will line up correctly with the oval shape.

    Thank you, Trevor, for the right direction to follow.

  • Coloration of the paths of the same object differently?

    I hope I am on the right terminology here... Imagine a square drawn by the pen tool. A square with a line and filling. What I want to do is to 'none' color of two opposite sides (strokes) of the place while keeping the inside fill color. What is the best way (or indeed any way) to do this? It should be very simple, but has been driving me crazy here!

    Thank you

    CGG

    Duplicate the path, split the path to its anchor points, remove unwanted segments. then apply the stroke to parts and fill only to the original.

  • Reverse the direction of the pasted path?

    I have a path on a shape layer and I copy this path in the Position of another layer (so I can animate this layer along the way).

    But I need the inversion that moves the stuck position.

    So I need instead of the movement object to the right, left right left.

    I tried to change the setting of 'Reverse Path Direction' on the path before copy/paste, but who don't seem to do anything.

  • The standard for Adobe Stock license allow me to use images inside a coloring book for resale?

    My object header pretty much everything says. I would use images inside a coloring book and also like to use images inside books for children - both for resale. The standard license will allow this? I understand that you are not supposed to sell a single image as a poster, t-shirt or a Cup, but I'm looking to embed multiple images in a project that would have additional items.

    Hi @stephenw21137983,.

    No, the standard license does not allow this use. He takes an extended license for each image that you want to use in the coloring book, as the images are the main value of books coloring.

    Kind regards

  • Is it possible to access the path property of a shape by CEAP API layer?

    Hello world! I recently started depeloping AE plugin and try to access the path of the forms of the CEAP API layer. Sorry in advance if my question has already been asked by someone before, but I couldn't exactly find the answer to my question so let me ask.

    In a publication, I have a shape layer, and the shape layer has a vector shape, represented by the pen tool. Looks like the constitution of the lower layer.

    Constitution-of-an-example-shape-layer.jpg

    Apparently, these streams of the layer as an anchor Point, Position, and scale are accessible by AEGP_GetNewLayerStream. However, I don't know how I can get the pointer to the form 1 and get the path to it because these valuse aren't categolized in any types of AEGP_LayerStream.

    Very similar question was asked in the following link and Informatics were advised to use MaskOutlineSuite, PathQuerySuite and PathDataSuite, although these suites are to make the effect, not for CEAP plugins plugins, so I don't know if they can be used here.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1068528

    So could someone kindly enlighten me on this?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi hagmas! Welcome to the forum, where there are many existing responses

    but never for exactly what you are looking for.

    Firstly, each suite which is the name of functions start with ECAP, were in fact

    created for the use of plug-ins of the CEAP, but most of them (including the suites you)

    mentioned) can also be used in effects. (and not as you thought, the other

    way around)

    Indeed the shape layer flow are not indexed, and that's because then

    are added dynamically by the user and can be re-ordered.

    look in the "suite of dynamic flow", that helps, you will get the first

    the shape layer flow and navigation well there early by getting the

    broadcast the name, type, parent of the ect group...

    You'll find 'content' group and in her groups "form."

    and in them... you get them the picture.

    Yes, it's a bit tedious, but since there is nothing in these groups order

    determined in advance or guarantees, there is no other way to go (that I know of).

  • Is there a way to change the path, selectors, curved lines color

    Hello

    I do track of photo in photoshop using the pen tool. The lines, they are grey. Part of the picture is gray. This makes it a little hard to see adjustments when you use the points of direction to adjust the curves. Is there a way to change their color? I work in a work path in the path box.

    The colorful paths have been requested several times. I remember well, maybe wrong, but I think remember me Adobe, emphasizing the fact that the paths can be any color except gray because of something beyond the control of Adobe. Is it not strange that own Adobe Illustrator (and the apps by other companies) allow the user to specify the colors of the paths. Also note that Photoshop allows the user to choose colors for guides, smart guides, and slices.
