Totally worked out of clipping mask

I use a rectangle as a top layer to hide a work under it. When I do the mask, the underlying work is ready for the limits of the rectangle and all but the remaining parts (the ones that were supposed to be completely concealed by the rectangle) actually show above the rectangle!

It was working fine until yesterday then I messed up probably a certain framework or preference or so.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

I must be missing something. The point in the clipping mask is to reframe the work at its edges. The work will always be on top and visible.

  • Clipping mask will not work on PDF or print

    I have a file which has applied a clipping mask. When sent to print or read in PDF format the clipping mask does not work.

    Here is a screenshot of the version I, then the PDF file (and which appears also when printing).

    Someone saw of what causes it and how it can be fixed?

    It resembles a well-organized file, but if you go in the tracks mode it looks like a file of hell :-)

    The problem seems to be caused by clipping masks which are made from a unique anchor point.

    Unlock all layers. Choose the command selection > objects > stray Points and remove them.

    The features of problem will become visible, as well as in Acrobat.

  • Clipping mask works do not (tried the advice from here and other sites, nothing worked)

    I really didn't want to be * that * fool who asks for help on a topic that has been covered for several times, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm doing a clipping mask to a group of numbers in the form of letters. Is a big pile of numbers with overlap I just seem to be in the form of an A and a B. All that happens is everything becomes a white fill.

    I have already tried/is:

    -Selected all

    -Tried grouped and not separated, no difference

    -Vectorization of text creation

    -Numbers flattened/expanded

    -Statements/flattened numbers merged in a vector

    -Created transparent traces (everything turned white again)

    -Copied and pasted into a new file (still turned all white)

    -Clipping for layer mask

    -Ctrl + 7 clipping mask

    -Tried to place the letters in front of and behind the numbers, separately and at the same time

    -Pixelated battery number

    -Make sure my letters have not merged with numbers

    Just for fun, I tried to make another mask for clipping on a string of digits indicated and a hexagon. It worked perfectly fine. I would try to divide everything, but because the numbers are all in a big mess, it would take waaay too long to get the look I want. Can anyone suggest what else I could try?

    I using CS3 if that helps.

    the form A and B must be a composite-no trace group. RADD on transparent traces in the manual.

  • 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.

  • Draw a clipping mask from the back/Above with applied?

    Hello


    Not sure if this question has already been resolved but I have CS6 and I always encountered this. In general, when I start a vector illustration, I tend to draw the outline of the object and use it as the clipping mask.

    Then I add details within the clipping mask by creating a new "paths/objects/etc" but the "'out of the back/above" feature does not work. " The new "paths/objects/etc" moves automatically to the top of the layer above the clipping mask, and I always have to drag in the clipping mask.

    Maybe I've done this wrong all the way through but its just something that I feel like I need to ask.


    Thank you!

    If the clipping mask is already there?

    In this case would want to try the isolation mode.

  • 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?20140925_184509.jpg

    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.

  • Problem of clipping mask...

    Hello. I'm working on a logo for a person using the CC of Illustrator version. The background for the logo was created using a clipping mask and is a green light green oval dark grass superimposed "blades". The blades were created using pencil, then I put the oval shape on top and used Apple command 7 to create a clipping mask. Problem is, when I change the size of the logo, "blades" of grass are the same weight that they have created, so when the image is reduced, the grass turns out to be much thicker, and the opposite happens when the image is enlarged. This approach of course of the problems on the track when creating cards and of the storefront signage. Tips on how to keep the same proportions when you change the size of the logo?

    Thank you!!

    You can extend the appearance of all your shots.

    Select your picture and go to the menu/object/decaying appearance.

    If you want to keep your shots and always on the scale. Make sure that your "stroke brain and effects globally" is checked. It's under preference (or cmd + k)

    but I'm really against finals logos with effects and strokes. I saw everthing and flatten it out as much as possible.

  • 'Less before' a simple form on top a clipping mask complex

    I have a clipping path that consists of:

    1. a range complex vector shapes (a model) and

    2. a simple form on the top.

    My boss seems to be inside the simple shape, because of the clipping mask.

    Now, I would like to 'Punch out' a shape in the middle of my clipping path and have the Punch to be transparent. After having created my punch-out form, I drag to the same layer that has the clipping mask, select both (the clipping mask is in the form of punch-out) and select 'less before' window of pathfinder.

    It does not work.

    All opinions are appreciated.

    cattle,

    What happens if you give shape punch-out a fill white and no respect, then select the shape and the mask in the transparency palette dialog box and clipping check do with Clip opacity mask unticke and mask invert checked (you can also use black and have unchecked Invert mask)?

  • 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.

  • How do I cancel the application clipping mask permanently,

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.

    I am having trouble with adjustment layers.

    I made a choice I want to brighten up a bit, and then I make a selection in the appropriate field, and then choose "curves" in the adjustmenlayers to inform the selected area.

    I also want to remove some red, only that chosen area, and then I choose "colorbalance" and I "alt-click on" between two layers to adjust only the desired area and whole picture, and it shows by a small 'broken arrow' he uses the previous layer to create clipping mask.

    And it works just great!

    But no more!

    Because now it suddenly applies this clippingmask - without me permannetly "alt-click". So now when I choose 'curved' the little broken arrow is here! And that bothers me big time, because I can't figure out how to make it stop. I know I can "right click" and click on "version clippingmask" but my point is, I don't want to do that, I want to stop it, unless I said, by "alt-click on ' betwwen the layers.

    I browes severeal forums, and the only thing I can find is how to make the clippingmask, not how to cancel it (Undo permanently, that is...)

    He owes me a sort of parameters... But I can't understand it. Does somebode please help me

  • Help with a set of cut in an image/clipping mask

    Hello.

    I need to cut out circles in an image so that the background shows through. A bit like a clipping mask reverse... but I don't know if existing ones...  And once I have cut holes in the image I need to put on a mask of clipping on all this, so that only a part of the image is always on display with the cutting parts.

    Or I guess if I could find a way to create a weird shape clipping mask that would work as well.

    The image below is something like what I'm trying to accomplish just different image and the different sizes and locations of the cutting edge.

    bonnierod,

    If I understand correctly, in the right way, you can:

    (1) create the basic shape of the Clipping Path (the path to use for the clipping mask)

    (2) create cuts on top of it,

    (3) select) 1 and 2) and Pathfinder > less before.

    (Apply 4) 3).

  • 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.

    The easiest way, I think, would be to define the work of the white line as an opacity mask on top of the tan circle. Which is not a clipping mask, but does the same thing and it is much easier.

    Otherwise, outline the white lines and 'Unit' pathfinder tool, then delete out of the way (the circle), of the compound shape. That will leave the compound object appropriate to the clipping mask:
