  When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind it does not move. I did this project of class before and it worked fine so I'm not sure if I have something started or... Any thoughts?

  I thought about it. That's all just stupid on my part and a bit of frustration because photoshop is my sworn enemy of then adobe added in. Thanks tho!

• How to align the elements (groupItem) with clipping masks?

  I have a script which aligns a groupItemToBeAligned on a layer to an another referenceGroupItem on another layer, well. Problem comes when the groupItemToBeAligned consists of elements that have a clipping, masks just to help

  groupItemToBeAligned.position = referenceGroupItem.position;
  
  

  Does not work, he takes the position of all, what is the best method to align what is actually visible? I tried to use:

  var vBounds = referenceGroupItem.visibleBounds;
  x1 = vBounds[0];
  y1 = vBounds[1];
  x2 = vBounds[2];
  y2 = vBounds[3];
  groupItemToBeAligned.position = [x1, y1];
  
  

  Produces the same results unfortunately.

  Huzzah, once again! I can't express how much it helps to have the file you are editing. This version is perfectly aligned all work plans. I would like to know if you have any other questions. =)

• image sizes for the photo and moodboards clipping masks

  Hello

  I place images/photos to the web and Pinterest on my plans to work in Illustrator for both mood/inspiration cards as well to use with clipping masks.

  Should I adjust the size of the image files in photoshop before placing them so that my illustrator file does not become too large?

  Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

  Thank you

  Of course, you must define your own strategies for these questions according to your needs. Sure raster image data, excess will swell your files unnecessarily, but according to the availability of extra storage space in your computing environment and your ultimate output intent, may not be worth the extra time and effort for the goal-size things in Photoshop before placement. Only you can decide that priority. If the images are 'of the web and Pinterest', chances are, they are already low-resolution, and you would not shave number of bytes out of them anyway.

  Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

  N ° which is designed for elements vector rasterize at your chosen resolution. It will not change the resolution to something that is already rasterized.

• Question about problem with the file using a clipping mask

  I use Photoshop CS6.  I bought a digital frame with a mask of clipping on Etsy.   When I go to insert the image in the image using the clipping mask image continues to show through the edges of the image (as pictured).  I tried blocking layer, but it does not work.  Any suggestions?

  Try this, 2 layer moving below 3 attach them.

  Hang out with the selection tool ellipse a circle that encompasses the area which should show the image

  Create a mask for the form (make sure the shape layer is selected {now layer 2 to 3} click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square)

  You should now see your image.

  If you get stuck, you can capture your screen to show your progress.

  Tips for the selection tool:

  You can hold the SHIFT key to constrain to a circle

  You can hold the ALT key to draw a selection of its center circle,

  You can hold both modifier key for a perfect circle drawn in the Center.

  Finally you can hold down the SPACEBAR to move the selection before you release the mouse button.

• 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?

  Appreaciate your insight

  Kenneth

  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.

• 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,

  As I said, put it.

• How to remove the part of an object grouped several using a shape (Pathfinder does not work, cannot get the knockout groups to work)? Kind of like the opposite of a clipping mask.

  I want to remove the portion of these legs inside of this graph, because a white circle solid at the Center intensifies the effect of the spiral.

  Background, the spiral is a mixture of the people flying around in a circle. The circle is then copied and turned several times. I have not developed the appearance again.

  There must be an easy way to do it, but I can't use the Pathfinders, the opacity mask, knockout groups, and make simple layers does not work. I just want to axe the legs of these easy people!

  

  

  

  This is not correct

  

  I do several models and want to find a way to make it easy and fast!

  

  Thanks to you all!

  Emmanuel,

  If I (put) correctly, you should be able to get the opacity mask to work as follows:

  Select (only) the White path and the mixture and then in the transparency palette flyout on create with unchecked Clip opacity mask and mask invert checked.

  Who must hide the inner part of the mixture corresponding to the white circle and let the front remains visible oin the background (circle and all that.)

• 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.

  

• Two questions - a clipping mask and color change in the Group

  Hello

  I have a file I rendered in Maya as a vector. I'm not that great with illustrator, so I was trying to speed things up...

  In any case, it appears all of the files have a clipping mask. If I unrelease, it shows a plain with a similar dimensions that is the original color of the object. See picture for before and after...

  In addition, article even says it's in a group. For this reason, I can't seem to change its color, and the separate button is gray... very confusing.

  Jared

  To group or ungroup, you must first select the art.

  You can do this with a tool of choice or use the layers panel by clicking to the right of the circle of the name of the groups.

  Then disassociate will be available but it is not necessary to separate so deit if you double-click on the group with the selection tool black arrow he'll bring you back in the isolation mode of the group which will allow you to change the group, as if they were individual objects that are separating.

  When you have finished double click anywhere outside the group to leave the isolation mode. You will find this feature will be preventing them from making bald, because you him tear not all outside whenb group edition in complex projects.

  Regarding the change of color as already mention Nedopil > change color > Recolorier Art more or less the same kind of protection mounting which can save you aggravation in the art complex.

• In Illustrator clipping mask

  I have a spider web png flie and I want to wrap it to the car body. Here are my illustrator Adobe Creative Cloud file

• 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.

• 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.

  

  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!

  

  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.

• Zebra - help of clipping mask

  I'm new to Illustrator and has difficulty getting a clipping mask to work the way I want it.  I have a printed pattern Zebra on top of a few letters and I want to keep the form of the letters while incorporating the Zebra.  See my screen capture.  Should what steps I take?  I've tried Pathfinder and Modes of the shape, but they do not come right.

  All I want is to have the lettering incorporate Zebra bypassing points outside the shape of the letter.

  Adrian

  

  There are several ways to do so. There are two options: filling model or a clipping mask.

  Filling of model

  Create a model of your pattern Zebra by:

  1. definition of the work to model in front of a rectangle that has no border or background.

  2. Select the model AND the rectangle and drag it in the Swatch Panel. A shade of "sufficiency of model" is added to the Panel.

  3. Select your text and assign the pattern fill to the text.

  This should ideally be a model 'seamless '. You can read about it in the online help.

  NOTE: If your model contains only the black part of the fill (the white box is blank), you can add a second fill attribute to the text using the attributes Panel:

  1 Select the text.

  2. go to the drop down menu on the Panel and select "new filling.

  3. slide the new filling below the 'characters' in the Panel.

  4 assign any color to it.

  Clipping mask

  1. turn your text above the model in the artboard (no need to convert it to text converted to outlines).

  2. Select the text and the pattern and choose the Menu item: object/Clipping Mask / Make (or Cmd - 7, mac or Ctl-7 pc)

  3. Select the text again and he assign a new color (objects lose their color when it is converted to a clipping mask, but he can be reassigned).

  I hope this helps.

• Failure of clipping mask

  Hi, I just received a poster at the back of the printer and I noticed the edge of the printed work clipping mask. The graphics included in an image (placed in CMYK tiff format) and plain vector graphics on top in some areas.  I had a white rectangle (brought to the foreground) from left to right (at the edge of the page) on the image, then I gathered all the elements (white rectangle always at the front) and created a clipping mask (a rectangle rounded corners) about 1 cm inside the page to keep everything tidy. When the white rectangle on the image and the border of the poster are gathered there is a hairline of the color of the image. The full view of the page, I could see the line but when I zoomed close uber, he disappeared (even in the PDF file).  I've seen things appear a little asymmetrical in PDF files high resolution before even when you know they are aligned properly so I sure don't worry it was just preview incorrectly. Anyhoo! hope I have explained this Ok... can anyone suggest why it happened or how to create the work properly. Cheers, Sarah

  I think I know what you're talking about. A bit of the image a leak in front of the white box.

  Should not have caused a problem, but he did. Sorry about that.

  I faked it your problem. When I did the following, showed nothing of the image in front of the white box, in Illustrator or Acrobat:

  1. draw a big box that surrounds the work

  2. Select this and the white box, make a compound path

  3. Select this and the image, make a clipping mask.

  4. now bring your round corner rectangle to the front.

  5 Select all, make a clipping mask.

  Hope this helps
