• Distort a Jpeg image with a clipping path

  Let me first say that I like to use clipping path jpegs in Photoshop. They can be used in InDesign course, batch and convert other formats that need transparency and so on... One irritant is that there is no easy way to distort or adapts the clipping and the overall image once the file has been created, or at least not that I know.

  For example, I'm working on a piece of furniture that already contains a clipping path, but the client wants the rectified image (or the prospect of the device removed, which I don't actually like). So, is there a more easy/fast way to do this instead of having to first distort the image, then try manually align the track of clipping or worse, make clipping path?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

  Distort the image in transformation mode (Cmd + T) can target only the path and use ADSI > transform path > Again (Shift + Cmd + T) instantly warp the path in the same way.

• convert tif with a clipping path solid tones CS3

  There must be a better way to do it, I need to make a white opaque overlay tones the silo'd 4 c/image (this is a window sticker). In the past I would duplicate the tif convert in grayscale, fill it black, double the placed tif, re-link to the new fit grayscale and color of the spot color. This works fine, but is there a way to simply duplicate the tif placed, remove the image and fill the path with a spot? TIA

  Altogether. First copy the image and then paste in place. Right-click and choose Convert clipping path to the framework. Remove the image from this framework and fill it with the color.

• Gif/png with mask/clipping path over a background

  
  
  I am comfortable in Photoshop, Illustrator and decent am in Flash (but it's been a while).
  
  What I'm trying to do is to have several hidden objects (images - not vector) fade in and out on a background that is also moving. My client has provided me a psd with all images, etc. on text layers.
  
  I did w/transparent GIFs, but no matter what I do, there is a white line on the edge of the graph. Image was made in PShop erasing everything except what was desired and saved as gif/trans. White edge appears due to being on a dark background... I have change the gif in PShop and erase the whole circumference, save, updated and it is always there!
  
  I have messed around with the functionality of mask in Flash and am missteps through editing Fireworks can't do the job right!
  
  I can't find a source of info that is sufficiently deep to tide me over.
  
  If you have any suggestions, I have (not to mention my client!) will much appreciate your wisdom!

  

  You are absolutely right! It was not so difficult... thanks to you!

  (Hope you like beer, btw!)

  Now all I have to do is stare at the walls where I was hitting my head against em!

  Thanks again!

• EPS in hf11 clipping path?

  I saved a CMYK Photoshop EPS image with a clipping path. It is important in Adobe InDesign CS, but not in Freehand. All I get is a white box.
  I just read here that Freehand will not accept EPS files. Otherwise, how to get the path of PS clipping file in a document FH?

  Thanks Armadillo for the explanation. Not sure if I understood yet. I'll try it and report it in a few days.

  I am uncomfortable with FH and dread the idea of moving to Illustrator at any given time.

• How to insert photoshop image with a work/clipping path in illustrator using the path?

  How to place an image in Illustrator using the clipping/work path created in Photoshop?

  I have a .jpg of an object on a background image. This image has a clipping path that écrêtera the background of the image. I could clip the outside background (in Photoshop) and save the image as a file .psd with a transparent background, and then insert the .psd file in Illustrator... it's easy. What I can't understand is to place the image (bottom) .jpg and use clipping path Photoshop be clipping path in Illustrator. In this way, I can take this clipping path and use it as a layer of gloss spot for production. I work on a Macbook Pro and CC2014. Thank you.

  But you can export the path separately in Illustrator, then he get married to the JPEG placed as a clipping mask.

  In traces of Photoshop Panel, target the path, and then choose file > export > traces to Illustrator...

  He'll write a .ai file. Open and select all (it's a quick and easy way to 'see' the path because Photoshop it will export with no border or background, leaving mostly 'invisible' on the artboard Illustrator).

  Then you can copy it to the collage at the top of your JPEG placed. Position them as you like, select this option and the JPEG format, then choose object > clipping mask > make...

• Make a group of clipping with a compound path

  So, as of today, I am new to scripting for Illustrator, I use the ExtendScript Toolkit. However, I am not new to my own script solutions and I do not have any experience with JavaScript.

  What I'm trying to do is the following: for all selected items-> duplicate selected item and make a group of simple clipping with it

  What I'm left with visually does not change the picture, but gives me a lot of clipped colored areas that I then can I change in isolated mode, which allows me good shading faster and better. That the doing by hand takes hours on some pictures, it would take a second with a script.

  The script itself is already works for normal PathItems. As evident in the title, as soon as I have to apply the same thing to CompundPathItems things stop working. My question is a bit like this old thread [problem with clipping path transparent], but I couldn't find a solution because I get different behavior.

  When I run the same script that works perfectly with the normal PathItems with CompoundPathItems I get this: 9046 error: the top element in the group must be a path element to create a mask

  Well, it's a problem. There is absolutely no difference between making a clipping with a simple path mask and a compound path in the GUI. Frankly reference guide not helped with this problem at all, the only thing that I learned from it is that the CompoundPathItem object is an attribute of cutting, but those included PathItems.

  Here's what I have so far:

  
  

  	If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'PathItem') {}
  	newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
  	copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
  	Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
  	newGroup.clipped = true;
  	}

  As I said, this part is exactly what it is supposed to do for normal paths.

  For CompoundPaths, I use this work around.

  	If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'CompoundPathItem') {}
  	newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
  	copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
  	Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
  	compoundItems = selected [i] .pathItems;
  	compoundIndex = compoundItems.length;
  	for (f = 0; f < compoundIndex; f ++) {compoundItems [f] .clipping = true ;}
  	var lineList = new array (10);
  	for (l = 0; l < lineList.length; l ++) {lineList [l] = new Array (I * 10 + 50, ((i-5) ^ 2) * 5 + 50) ;}}
  	newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add ();
  	newPath.setEntirePath (lineList);
  	newPath.moveToBeginning (newGroup);
  	newGroup.clipped = true;
  	newPath.remove ();

  Mind you, this workaround works in so far that it ignores that annoying error and evil and composite clipping path also works with the only problem being that created composite clipping path as it is always displayed in its original colours in the layers section and is always selectable. When I lock the composite clipping path I can work with it, but still...

  So the question is, what am I missing here? Surely, there must be a good way to do this.

  app.executeMenuCommand ()? That is me away so far, might be just the right thing. I will definitely take a look, now just to find a ref about it, because unfortunately official documents Ref I do not mention this command. Any place with a list of possible commands?

  Ah, also of course I only do for the isolation mode. If you care to hear the background, it is here:

  As I said it's for photos of shading, I'm working on. I repeated and tried through a bunch of techniques. For example, gradient mesh on my first few true works. Now these cracks don't do well with complex shapes, which previously I mitigated by using a simple square or rectangle gradient mesh and using the original form as a color clipping mask. It worked, but it was a huge field of work.

  After a lot of attempts that I went to the use of simple gradients as a background for the form, and then I do the shading freehand with the blob Brush tool, using a graphic style and filters to make it look like to the right. Is better, but do it right all the clipping masks takes me much more time than anything else.

  Now the problem is that shading is not supposed to cross the lines, it's impossible to do correctly without messing up the order, either using clipping masks, where the script. Because you know, if you use a form of the task with a strong Gaussian blur near the lines, you'll find yourself with stuff on both sides. If you do not start close to the line that the shading will be not look right if the darker the shade needs to be close to the line. And that's where magic of clipping masks.

  And finally, here's an example of how I work with the script and the result:

  After that I drew a sketch, adjust the line widths and at the neatness I turn the paths to sketch the lines and then turn them into a live paint Group (which would ruin the line widths, unless you put the paths in first contour lines).

  With this live paint group need me a few minutes to color my piece dish. Then I develop the live paint group, in case of doubt, spend a few more minutes to make transparent traces of all regions, I need the shadow in one piece, and then I select all areas and use my script to activate the neat clipping masks. Then I can click on any field, enter the isolation mode, and go up one level, so I'm in the appropriate group, where I can shadow freely without the problem beyond the lines.

  At the end which allows me to apply shading complex and comprehensive, without wasting time to get there.

  PS: well, I just found out that draw inside is really close to what I want to do, and oddly enough, it produces the same Visual discrepancy with transparent traces that produces my script. I'll take a closer look that, while my script is a little more than just the stuff of clipping mask, so maybe I'll go for a hybrid solution. Everything that makes for a better workflow.

• Scripting: upper limit on the number of points in a clipping path to be converted to selection?

  Greetings,

  I work with some great with rather complex clipping paths tiff files and have written a script to convert a path to a selection, invert the selection, and delete pixels to downsample and save a PNG image with transparent background for the web.

  If the number of points in the clipping path is greater than 1000, Photoshop stops with a message 'Illegal Argument' and will not make the choice. "Making selection...". "the choice in the path palette manually works fine and works almost instantly.

  The problem is especially frustrating since the manual selection is so easily.

  Does anyone know how to give more points or to override this limit? I would also like to experiment with a scriptable command to simplify the path arbitrarily if there is no way around the problem at hand.

  Thank you

  When you say a clipping path, do you mean a vector path of a layer?  Created in the document, or you all ready clipping path create it using the script?  If you simply want to create a png image and a vector mask, can't you reverse the vector mask and or copy in which layer you want to cut, then resize?  You don't need a raster image to create a png image.

• Need a script for the trails and clipping paths

  I have over a hundred images (.tif or.) TIF) which have cut a path, but the names are all different. In addition, some have been activated for clipping paths. I need all paths tracks/clipping named path 1. I found an old javascript to do this using ExtendScript Toolkit, but it does not work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("location of pictures to treat... ») ;

  var files = selFolder.getFiles (/.) TIF | TIF / I) ;// must change to different formats

  argument newPathName var = prompt ("Put your cutting path name that you want," "path 1,"Clipping name"")

  for (var f = 0; f < files.length; f ++)

  {

  var doc = app.open (files [f]);

  var numberOfPaths = doc.pathItems.length;

  for (variety p = 0; p < numberOfPaths; p ++)

  {

  If (doc.pathItems [p] .kind == PathKind.CLIPPINGPATH & & argument newPathName! = doc.pathItems [p] .name) doc.pathItems [p] .name = argument newPathName;

  }

  doc. Close (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }

  It is not a translation problem, after all, some of the files had problems sharing & permissions so I changed them all to & read/write. So I ran two separate scripts because I do not know how to combine them into one. It's what worked:

  This is script is for the NORMALPATH railways:

  var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("location of pictures to treat... ») ;

  var files = selFolder.getFiles (/ \.tif$/i) ;// must change to different formats

  argument newPathName var = prompt ("Put your cutting path name you want", "path 1", "Path name")

  for (var f = 0; f)< files.length;="" f++="">

  {

  var doc = app.open (files [f]);

  var numberOfPaths = doc.pathItems.length;

  for (variety p = 0; p)< numberofpaths;="" p++="">

  {

  If (doc.pathItems [p] .kind == PathKind.NORMALPATH & argument newPathName! = doc.pathItems [p] .name) doc.pathItems [p] .name = argument newPathName;

  }

  doc. Close (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }

  This is for the CLIPPINGPATH railways:

  var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("location of pictures to treat... ») ;

  var files = selFolder.getFiles (/ \.tif$/i) ;// must change to different formats

  argument newPathName var = prompt ("Put your cutting path name that you want," "path 1,"Clipping name"")

  for (var f = 0; f)< files.length;="" f++="">

  {

  var doc = app.open (files [f]);

  var numberOfPaths = doc.pathItems.length;

  for (variety p = 0; p)< numberofpaths;="" p++="">

  {

  If (doc.pathItems [p] .kind == PathKind.CLIPPINGPATH & argument newPathName! = doc.pathItems [p] .name) doc.pathItems [p] .name = argument newPathName;

  }

  doc. Close (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }

  I didn't have a single file with two paths inside and a dialogue has come, and I changed it to track 2, no sweat.

  Thanks for all your help!

• Need a Script to the space of images on a total gap, then tag each image with the percentage of the total image space

  By editing the other scripts, I found here and other sites (including the labels size rorohiko), I worked on a script that will each image with the dimensions of the label and calculate the percentage of the spread of everything (including the text, white space).

  Now, I was invited to a script that tagged the images with the percentage of total image on a gap space. This script is so space images on a total gap, then tag each image with the percentage of the total image space. For example if there is an image that is 10 x 10 inches and four pictures that are images of 2.5x2.5, 10 x 10 would be tagged with 50% and the 2.5x2.5 would be tagged with 12.5%.

  This is the script that does the percentage of total circulation. Can some clever person get to do what I need?

  Suze

  (Sorry, I don't know how to post the script here with line numbers!)

  //

  This script adds printing of information labels to each graphic image. The labels are on a separate layer

  named "PercentageLabels" so that all these added labels can be removed again by simply removing

  the layer.

  //

  If you move or resize items, simply re-run the script to update the labels.

  //

  Before (re) start the script, you can define a paragraph style "SizeLabelStyle".

  This style will apply to all content on labels.

  //

  Before (re) start the script, you can set a style of object 'SizeLabelObjectStyle '.

  This style of object apply to all executives of the label - so if you want a specific background

  fill out or frame, do it through this object style.

  //

  You can change the units of the size label. I put in inches. Change the line below that has

  kUnitToUse - you can use:

  MeasurementUnits.CENTIMETERS

  MeasurementUnits.CICERO

  MeasurementUnits.INCHES

  MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS

  MeasurementUnits.PICAS

  MeasurementUnits.PIXELS

  MeasurementUnits.POINTS

  //

  By default the script will not attempt to label the "nested" images If you also want to label

  nested images (for example inline images, anchored frames, pasted images in the images,...) to change the line

  below to read:

  kLabelNestedItems = 1

  //

  If you want a specific image to stay without a label, you can use the Script label palette for

  assign a script called 'ignore' for this frame. The script will then not label this framework to the

  the title of the script is removed again.

  //

  Change the lines with kDontLabelImageFrames, kDontLabelTextFrames, kDontLabelOtherFrames

  below if you want to restrict labelling to only certain types of images: replace the '0'

  in "1" to enable these options.

  //

  Change the line with kShowImageFileName if you also want to display the names of the image in the

  size for the picture frames.

  //

  Small frames are not labelled - the cutoff point is currently a less than 0.1 inch high framework

  or 0.1 inch wide. You can change the cutoff point by adjusting the lines with kDontLabelBelowWidth

  or kDontLabelBelowHeight below.

• Automatic import of Images w / clipping paths

  All my images are automatically import in Indesign with clipping paths lit. I don't want to! Everything started happening (apparently at random) a few days ago. Happens if I place the image. Happens if I slip and fall. It happens in any way that I get the image in Indesign. Help!

  I don't know how to turn off once it is in Indesign, but I have THOUSANDS of images, I can't select each to disable the clipping path. I was hoping it was a setting/preference somewhere that I'm not aware of.

  [Left the forum Cloud/Installer generic for program specific forum... MOD]

  I checked into this a bit. There is an import adjustment that allows for your to choose or not to apply photoshop clipping masks in your TIFF. He must have been checked and is now applied to all.

  

  On the next tiff that import you, select The show Import Options before clicking OK. Uncheck the box Use Photoshop clipping paths . I think you'll just have to do this with a single file, and then it must carry over the placed files.

  

• How to make Cut-Out with Clipping Path?

  Hello, help please?

  I need to provide a photo of an object that has been described as a 'Cut Out' and a Clipping Path must be included. Now I know this is not a rare condition, but I've never been asked before.  I tried to fill out the application, but unfortunately I was unsuccessful so far.

  OK... so with CS5. I cut the object using the feather (background selected then removed). I saved the way like a 'selection '. But what I ache to understand is this.

  The need is a jpeg file. And I know that if I flatten the file, then save in jpeg format, I'll lose the bottom of transparency and the article will be on white background. So if I send this file how the recipient find the clipping path - which I presume is the path that I saved in the paths tab?  Because when I flattened, I won't lose channels or paths. The captain that they will be an object of the required dimensions, they claimed, but it will be on a white background, therefore, he will not be able to simply 'fit' as a single item in any work they need to.

  Other elements were provided by other people and their file is a jpeg file, and he says he understands a clipping path.  So, I understand that this is possible, but I just can't get out!

  Sometimes I feel so dumb!

  Any help will be much appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  I don't think that you can incorporate a clipping path into a jpg file, but you can send a png image

  with transparency based on web or low range of printing. (not recommended).

  The usual method is .psd or .tiff with transparency or the clipping integrated.

• Apply Photoshop clipping path of a bunch of images

  I was wondering if someone can suss this out.

  I have a bunch of images, sometimes a background is necessary, sometimes not. So I drew a lot of traces of shadow around the images (I know I could do with layers in PSD, but I chose this path for some reason any).

  Anyway, I can't apply the mask photoshop a lot of selected images. I have to do one at a time. I'm not aware of a switch anywhere to turn off the clipping paths and?

  Any ideas? Or a better way to avancerMC? This will be done continuously for at least another year. And I won't be turning on/off the paths of clipping one at a time.

  This javascript works for you? (It applies the first path only, if there is more than one--nothing should happen if you have no path in a selected image.)
