Text CS4 - multiple blocks of text clipping mask

• For image in underlined text clipping mask

  

  Mac G5 Mac OSX CS4 - I'm creating a Visual for a website and I have an image I want to insert in the specified words "wellnessworkplace", but the image does not appear when the clipping mask is applied. I realize that it must be the result of multiple paths of the text but I remember that I used to be able to do this in CS2. For the moment, I made a form of Pathfinder composed the word on a gray rectangle lite and the image is located below to get the effect, but this has drawbacks and I prefer to use a clipping mask.

  I am under CS3 and never really noticed this before, maybe CS4 is the same. The only way I could get the clipping mask to work is to select the underlined text, go to object > compound path > make. Select the entire document, and then create the clipping mask (make sure that the text is on top).

• Can't do a simple text clipping mask

  I've done this before, although all of a sudden it doesn't work.

  -J' I type some text

  -I do the outlines of the text

  -J' I drag an image in here

  -J' I send the image to the back

  -J' I select both and choose object > clipping to mask

  -There is no indication in the text and the image disappears

  What I am doing wrong? I tried this on two Macs, and these are the same steps that have worked for me.

  Thank you.

  southwestform,

  What would you say to skip the second step of your OP (original post), namely the describing, rather than adding the step a compound path, just using the original direct type as the clipping?

• The passage of the part of an image that shows through a clipping mask?

  In CS5, after having has been using text clipping mask to mask an image, is there a way to move the image to a new location, so a different part of the image shows the text?

  Thank you.

  Web.Boards,

  You can select the image with the direct Selection tool, or through the palette layers/panel and move it (with the arrow keys, ClickDragging, with object > Tramsform > Move, or something else). or just ClickDrag it from the beginning.

• Hello, I want to make an outline of the text that I created.  I started with a blue background.  Then, I created a text and changed the color of gold.  I then put on an image and used the clipping mask to show the image by the text. Problem

  Hello, I want to make an outline of the text that I created.  I started with a blue background.  Then, I created a text and changed the color of gold.  I then put on an image and used the clipping mask to show the image by the text. Problem is it gets rid of color and shows that the peak through the text.  I wanted a draft of the text with the picture.  Is this possible?

  Thank you

  You're welcome, Peter.

• 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.

  

  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.

• Text fill or use a clipping mask, then using the knife tool

  Hey, new to the forum here, and I have a problem...

  I'm scanning my notes for a course in Earth science, and I use Illustrator CS5.

  I'm trying to do a simple text effect that leaves me perplexed.

  The text says "Earthquakes" (indeed, 24pt.)

  I like the texture of the text with a picture of sandstone.  I can do this.

  I would like in conjunction with the text in two with the knife tool.  I can do that, too.

  I can't for the life of me, what to cut the text in two after applying the clipping mask.

  No can I apply the texture (via a clipping mask) after having cut the text in two.

  I tried all kinds of different combinations, including doing some work in Photoshop, and still nothing works.

  I tried to create a plan (apparently essential to use the knife on the text tool), cut the text in two and then make the clipping mask, but that only gives me letters, invisible, which I can't seem to fill with the appropriate image.

  Anyone out there have any ideas?

  In the case where it is not clear, I want my text to be filled by a picture, then I would cut half in text (I prefer to use the knife tool, as it looks better with a curved cut)

  It's as simple as that, but I could not fall on a solution on my own.

  On a side note, I also spent on some tutorials for 'cutting text' is to draw a line through it, and then using fracture in the Pathfinder palette, but this guard send me errors.  Thoughts?

  First of all, there is no need to use a clipping for texture mask. Drag the photo in the "Swatches" Panel and then use the texture sample resulting to fill the text! Then, drag the text object texture in the symbols Panel. Now you can drag the 2 instances of the new symbol on the artboard and hide to create the look you are after. Using this method, your text remains editable and can be changed by editing the symbol.

  

• text of mask?

  I have the text that I live tracks and I try to mask through the letters vertical lines. When I do this the text turns white. When I unlink and do one at the time that a letter works others turn white. When I use the brand will work a letter always that a single compound path and the other letters become white.

  Please help, I just buy CS6 and I don't have time to do tutorials and I have a deadline to meet...

  Thank you

  The letter forms are probably grouped

  1 unlink them, you may have ti use the command dissociate more than once or twice.

  2. when all the letters are always selected are art text a path is dedicated to the (even if the option to release a path is dedicated to the is present).

  3. make sure that the letters are in police lines

• How to remove the multiple clipping mask

  Is there a way to remove the clipping mask all in a file?  We are sometimes really screwed up in work.  Some have them dozens of clipping masks that DO nothing.  Y at - it a shortcut to get rid of all these rather than choosing each?

• Create a clipping mask and insert multiple Images, forms, blending options

  I am able to do this in Illustrator, but I try to understand how to do this in InDesign.

  In InDesign - after I created a custom shape (clipping mask) with the pen tool I drop an image inside the shape (CMD + D).
  However, I would like to add other forms or images in this clipping mask and set the blending options. How does this in InDesign?

  Thank you!

  1. Draw or make the mask of future cliping as frame
  2. All put together that you want to be in this context.
  3. Group them
  4. Move them to the location you want them finally
  5. Cut them into your editing table
  6. Select the target image
  7. Change > passed in

• How can I copy some clipping masks including the relative positions of multiple images?

  I have a number of images of microscope on the same subject that were made under three different conditions. I would like to use clipping masks to crop the images in the same way (the same size, but also the same position relative to the corners/sides of the images. Where it was inconsistent, I made an image to try to explain what I want to achieve (the same portion of each image for each game):

  

  Thank you, Jacob. I don't know that is easier or more efficient, but I ended up inserting all of the images on top of each other, and copy and paste in place (Ctrl + Shift + V) my rectangle. Then I chose a rectangle and an image and apply the mask (Ctrl + 7) and then sent it to the back with (Ctrl + Shift + []) before repeating.

• logo with the degraded in InDesign clipping mask?

  Hi all

  I have a small question: I use CS4 (illustrator and InDesign) on Mac OSX platform.

  QUESTION: I have a one color logo (just text), which fades in transparency (applied to the type in Illustrator gradient clipping mask). I would check how I should prepare and import this logo in InDesign -to be sure, I'm not the effect of real transparency on different pages when it is applied in my InDesign book.

  Thank you kindly,

  Chemol

  As I said, put it.

• Frustration of clipping mask

  Hi all

  I have used here. Somehow, I can't get a clipping mask to work in illustrator CS4. I've been using photoshop for years and only started using illustrator and it is completely different!

  What I am wanting to do is simple. I am doing a logo and you want to add a mask of white clipping on the text, add a gradient and set the opacity to about 30 to get a glow effect. Whenever I do this, even if the clipping mask does not work, the new layer with the disappears just of white form! When I have fill it with white, once again, it appears on all the other layers. It's really frustrating me.

  That's what I'm doing:

  1. Enter the text

  2. create the white shape with the tool feather in the new layer above the text layer.

  Layer 2-form

  Layer 1-text

  In photoshop, that I simply select Layer 2 and create a clipping and what is - mask this. In illustrator when I goto "Create clipping mask" white form has suddenly become vacant and when I fill it up it is just that comes all overlap and not only the text layer as I want it to do.

  I had once it works and it worked fine until I brought in photoshop via AI. file, then I could see the whole shape that just overlap the clipping mask just disappeared.

  I would really appreciate help on this, it's very very frustrating!

  Thank you!

  W,

  It's hard to explain that you don't understand what I mean?

  I think so. You can create a copy of the one on top of the shape and with those two selected object > clipping mask > make. Which allows you to hide the form outside the A, and the original A part will be below it.

• Clipping mask, too complex object, cannot use either bitmap

  Hi all

  I'm in Illustrator CS4, trying to make a page that contains the content I want to integrate into a rounded rectangle.  Seems pretty easy.

  I managed to paste content into a rounded rectangle, so far.  Now I have a page that is apparently 'too complex '.  There a lot of transparencies and degraded them and others.  Once I try to do the clipping mask tells me it is very complex and cannot print or work right.  I go ahead anyway, and it seems just white/invisible.

  Then I thought to plans of work could be a way to do this, but I couldn't see how you could make a work plan which is one shape other than a rectangle (I want a rounded rectangle).

  So I thought that if export the bitmap and then rebonding in it, maybe I could integrate the bitmap in the rounded rectangle.  Pain in the butt, but I'm looking for any solution.  But it still works because it says that the selected object must be "a path, a compound shape, a text object or a group of people.  If a bitmap can be used

  Someone had better luck with this?  In CorelDraw, I always just placed objects, regardless of the level of complexity, in a 'container' with no problems.  Certainly, there is a way to do the same thing here.  This drawing is not * that * complex.

  Thanks in advance for your advice!

  Sounds to me as if the rounded rectangle you are trying to use as a clipping mask is not the top-level object.

  I hope it's as simple as that, even when...

• A simpler method of dividing or clipping mask?

  OK, I'm back with a new question. Design to go on Tshirt

  NOT CE DESIGN, just example.

  Shirt color shows while creating lines in the gun (indicated by black background)
  

  Here I have a firearm on a locked layer black background. All the white parts of the pistol

  are their own forms, grouped. (so the gun rest the gun.)
  

  As you can see, with a pistol on the right, the black background (color of the shirt) shows

  by creating the outline of the gun.

  Now, I want to overlay of this indicator on the gun to fire at

  where it seems that the gun has a flag on this issue.
  

  

  Now here's a clipping mask. Yes it works, but for what I do. I can't have paths in the background

  that make up the flag. No extra charge no matter what, just the barrel and research as it has a flag. Clipping path

  method also creates a larger file. For screen printing on t-shirts, these additional lines of the invisible flag

  can cause a problem.

  

  Divide then works fine. I put the gun in the back, the flag on the front and divide. Then ungroup.

  In the image below, I've removed many of the parts of the Pavilion which were divided.

  However, then I have to hunt for the paths that I want to be transparent (so shirt shows through lines).

  It takes a lot of time. You can see that I chose a piece inside the drum of spinning, where the bullets are going inside.
  This piece is deleted, like many others, up to what the black shirt color indicates where to, once again.

  

  There must be an easier way to do it. So he superimposed the indicator only on the white of the forms that make the gun
  as a clipping mask, but where I can remove all paths associated with the parts of the flag I don't need.

  Notice to lovers?

  
  This is exactly the situation I have right now. I have a skull that I need to superimpose a flag on.

  I THOUGHT WITH A WORKAROUND... I'M A GENIUS!

  Thus, while brainstorming, I think I have a better method.

  We will use a black background as a cutter.

  With the help of a black background even size as a document.

  With the help of skull original to cut through leaving the black. (select skull and black background then split)

  Edit > cut black (who is a master of cutting everything that needs to be transparent.) now in the Clipboard

  Put the flag in the document, paste black flag.

  Select Black punch and flag.

  Divide

  Ungroup

  Select same fill color (by selecting the black hole)

  Delete

  ALTO! Left with all the pieces that have the color of the flag.

  ALL VECTORS. Reduced file size.

  I'M A BEAST!

  I now use cookie cutter method on all the models that I had.

  and it's considerably allowing a reduced file size.

  Mainly because there is only one group, which contains all the parts

  that make up the drawing.
  With the help of text and expand on the text damaged by arches, which had created grunge effects

  large file formats.

  Maybe all that could be cleaned.

  However, this method is so easy.
