Using "copy transform-effect" as a clipping mask

1. I have a box shape, with effect of transformation applied on that copy the box 5 times horizontally.

2. I want to use these 6 boxes as a clipping mask.

3. How do I:

(a) directly use this object as a clipping mask? None, as if that were possible. When I try it only uses the unique original as the mask box. The other 5 boxes disappear.

(b) ' break' the shape of box object 6 separate boxes so that they are more "copies ghosts" but individual objects that I can then together to form a real clipping mask.

Object > expand appearance

This will allow you to do both A and b. Although for A you will need to then choose object > compound path > make before you create the clipping mask.

  • Grouping and clipping masks

    I just created a merry-go-round.  I create each animal separately and then combining them.  By far the most complex animal is the Zebra.  I created the strips by drawing lines that go outside the Zebra adjusing using the widths and - thanks to the wonderful of the forum, created a form of Zebra clipping mask.  Very well.  Now I would like al to group items so I can treat the Zebra as one object among others.  First of all, I'm doing the clipping mask group and scratches.  All well and good so far.

    before grouping, but stripes and clipping mask are grouped.JPG

    But then, when I bring together all the elements, the effect of cut goes, and the stripes extend beyond the Zebra.  I see that the clipping mask is always there, but the effect of the clipping mask disappeared.

    zebra after grouping.JPG

    Not very good.

    (Note: the same thing happens if I I do not first a group of the clipping mask and the scratches .)

    Frustrated (72 years) old-dog fearing that it becomes too too old to learn all the new stuff.

    There are two types of clipping masks. Object, it automatically creates a group. The second is a mask of base layer. This is not a group, but rather of all the objects on a given layer clips.

    That the second is the type that you created. But it cannot be contained within another group.

    What you need to do is create a based clipping mask object instead (don't worry, you can use the same objects that you already own. You must use the command object > clipping mask > make instead of the button in the layer panel.

  • Any PDF to AI > clipping masks different 1 million?

    I've been using have for about 10 years, and I meet this problem before but somehow did the trick around it. However, I would go to the bottom of him this time.

    First off this happened CS5, CS6, and CC.

    I imported a PDF file from a scanned plan thinking that I would make a few changes to line weight and color + graphics for a presentation, it is, but it is divided into a large NUMBER of different items within a clipping mask LOT different. This happens just to open a PDF file in artificial intelligence. Does anyone know why an imported PDF do that? Also, how is the best and fastest way to get it back in a few tracks. Example below.

    Capture 4.PNGCapture 2.PNGCapture 03.PNG

    The PDF file is a raster image file. Each of these boxes is a single raster containing about 3 MB of data. You can use select all and then object > clipping mask > Release. You can use the object > rasterize to create a single frame of the entire file and try to use the Image path > stroke, but it will be a long-term task.

  • 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

  • How do you use this feature effectively (clipping masks?) Help

    Hello

    I've been using illustrator for awhile now, but I keep coming across this sort of thing in free vectors that I download. I enclose a simple file to illustrate this. My question is, how do they do that? How to create a circle inscribed in a circle in which the inner circle mask filling of the outside circle, but can also be repositioned and resized?

    I hope that makes sense! I tried very hard to understand this part of the Illustrator, but I can't get it. What is a characteristic of clipping mask? It's in the way that you save the file/create the file that allows you to do this?

    Anyway, any help is very appreciated. The vector below is extracted from http://www.freevector.com/grunge-apartment-vector/

    Part of the problem is that I do not know what we call this function/technique to finding help has been VERY difficult

  • 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.

  • Copy and paste the effects of other clips

    Well I have exported my first sequence and am slowly working with audio in Audition without pulling my hair.  The biggest problem I have is the lack of ability to copy effects applied to an element and another cover several clips.  I thought that if it was possible at first it should e at the hearing, but unfortunately is not.  The best I can do is save a preset... which is the only option?  And can I ask a preset saved several clips?    More than anything I want to run normalize and reverberation effects to multiple clips at a time, but geez not being is not able to do that just makes me want to do it in the first and only modify a clip in hearing one at a time if absolutely necessary.    It seems that hearing has some characteristics it could really use until it is effective for production work.  In Protools, I can use alt + shift drag to copy other clips.

    I don't know if this will help the people but I was able to copy an audio EQ effect I had set as I wanted other clips of:

    1. left click once on the video clip that contains the audio effect that I applied to this audio track so that both audio and video tracks are highlighted.

    2. right click on audio (like EQ) effect with effect options

    3. left click copy

    4. then go to the video clip I want to copy to and left click once on the video clip, so it is highlighted

    5. then right click Paste edit

  • 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.

    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.

    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?

  • Help to recreate the effect of shadow cast by the clipping mask

    Is there a few months, I created the image attached. Today, for the life of me I can not create a similar effect, where the shadow text source the clipping mask. Whenever I try to follow the same steps and the layer styles, that I get a normal black shadow not a shade that comes from the clipping mask as in my example. Help please I'm driving myself crazy!

  • 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.

  • Pull on a path copied from a clipping mask?

    Hello: Level: Beginner, OS: Win7 64 bit HERE: Cs6

    I followed a tut to:

    rator http://www.cutelittlefactory.com/tutorials/Create-an-awesome-Space-Rocket-avatar-in-illust.

    down under the #4 step it says copy & paste the circle which is inside a clipping mask and drag it out of the mask in order to reproduce twice.

    but I have no idea how say instead, I pulled out of the mask, or even, in fact, how to go about pulling out of the mask

    so far, I copied and pasted in front... copying and pasting before bring it outta the mask?

    I need to create a new layer after that I copied and then paste it on the new layer?

    your time is appreciated. I'm going to continue my search for an answer

    Kara,

    Abstain further comments on the tutorial, there is no need to delete anything.

    You can simply:

    Create the circle and shift two ways (this is visible), and then click the original circle and shape and the underlying object > make a clipping mask. Alternatively, you can start with either riveted and offset circles twice by the same amount.

    Or, if you must, start the same way as the tutorial (when all is deselected):

    (1) select direct the shadow and the object > path > offset whatever it is;

    (2) Ctrl / Cmd + X + F to bring the first lag path above the clipping mask (you can give it a stroke if you wish;

    (3) object > path > Offset path the other way (by double the amount with the reverse offset).
