Clipping mask fail

Hi there, I have just received a poster back from the printer and have noticed the edge of the clipping mask of the artwork has printed. The graphics consisted of an image (placed as a CMYK tiff) and plain vector graphics over the top in some parts.  I had a white rectangle (brought to the front) running from left to right (to edge of page) over the image, then I grouped the all the elements (white rectange still at front) and created a clipping mask (a rounded corner rectangle) about 1cm within the borders of the page to keep it all tidy. Where the white rectangle running over the image and the border of the poster come together there is a hairline of colour of the image. From the full view of the page I could see the line but when I zoomed in uber close it disappeared (same in the PDF).  I have seen things appear a bit skewed in high res PDFs before even when you know they are aligned correctly so I didn't worry about it sure it was just previewing incorrectly. Anyhoo! hope I have explained this Ok... can anyone suggest why it happened or how to create the artwork correctly. Cheers, Sarah

I think I know what you're talking about. A little of the image leaked past the white box.
Shouldn't have caused a problem, but it did. Sorry about that.
I simulated your problem. When I did the following, none of the image showed past the white box, in Illustrator or in Acrobat:
1. Draw a big box surrounding the artwork
2. Select this and the white box, make a compound path
3. Select this and the image, make clipping mask.
4. Now bring your round corner rectangle to the front.
5. Select all, make clipping mask.
Hope this helps

  • Clipping Mask with photo question

    Hi everyone!  I'm having issues trying to create a clipping mask over a photo.  I have consulted 2 books and several other sites to no avail.  Here's the breakdown:
    I have a compound path shape layered on top of a rasterized photo.
    I select both, choose Object, Clipping Mask, Make and both objects become clear.
    (I've tried variations and the closest I came was when, after the Clip Mask, Make commands, I made the shape white.  The image shows through but now there's a white fill surrounding the shape. It's still not what I want.)
    I'm close and appreciate any help you can provide.

    Thanks. I made the object a compound path before I started but no dice.
    This image is the closest I've gotten to what I want but obviously it's wrong.  (this was after several failed attempts, I simply made the mask shape white.)

  • Why does my layer freeze after putting it in a clipping mask?

    I have a new retina-display iMac, and my version of Photoshop (Creative Cloud) is up-to-date.
    Whenever I drag an image from my browser over to my open Photoshop file and place it, it's fine. But when I then try to move that layer into an existing clipping mask, suddenly the layer freezes. I can see it, and I can see the transform controls, and it is being masked, but I can't move it, or use the transform controls to re-size it. It's like this new image layer is completely frozen. 
    I have to save the Photoshop file, close it, re-open it, then everything works as normal and I can adjust the new image and move it around. Happens every time. Please help!
    My computer is brand new and I just freshly installed Photoshop, I shouldn't be having to deal with any weirdness already!'
    Thanks

  • Clipping Mask is NOT working

    This is so strange , i can't get the clipping mask feature to work on my pc. I tried it on another one and it worked.
         This is before i apply the mask to my rectangle.
         After i apply it , the image dissapears and nothing else happens.
    I've been trying for 4 hours to fix this and it keeps refusing to work properly.

    Without trying to analyze just what you're doing with the clipping mask functionality, an initial response:
    If it fails for you on one computer but not another, assuming you're doing exactly the same things to the same file, that says there's a problem with the computer.
    Try disabling OpenGL Drawing temporarily in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
    If that works around the issue, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install an updated video driver.  Assuming your video card is still being supported by the manufacturer, updated video drivers usually solve strange display issues like this.

  • How to use a clipping mask layer to a multiple base layers?

    Is it possible to use one layer as a clipping mask to a 5 different bottom layers.
         What I'm trying to do is apply an adjustment layer to certain layers only. Is that possible?

    Zpan wrote:

    not that I would know, but what you can do instead is group those 5 layers (CTRL+G), add the adjustment layer as the topmost layer in the group and set the group's blending mode to "normal". The adustment layer is then only applied to the layers within the same group.

  • How do I use clipping mask to cover unwanted background?

    I'm practicing illustrator myself. I have a book for illustrator hoping it would show me step by step on how to use the masks to take away any unwanted background in a photo but it didn't do that. Can anyone teach me how or show me where to look for the information on how to use the clipping masks or other type of masks? I went to the adobe workshop video to look for the answer but it didn't show exactly as what i want to know. The image i'm practicing on is a family photo and i want to isolate everything to just one person in the photo so how can I do that using clipping mask? Thanks!!

    oh~~~ so i still need to use pen tool to draw the shape out. I thought there's something i could use to make the shape easily. Stupid me XD
    I was wondering if you could help me more...can you give me a rule of thumb like when is best to use illustrator to edit image or photoshop?
    Thanks for your tip! I really appreciate it!!

    Draw the mask using the pen tool over the image. Select both the drawn mask AND image and choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make

  • I have a line (stroke, no fill) and an eps graphic. I'm trying to make a clipping mask of the single line art but all it does is cut the eps graphic instead of making a mask?

    I have an eps graphic and a single line drawing 2 pt wt. I'm trying to make a clipping mask of the line drawing. When I tried it all that happened was the eps graphic was cut in half. I did the exact steps from AdobeTV except the line drawing [pink camera.ai*@1200% (CMYK/Outline)] is an ai pen line drawing instead of a vector graphic and the other is [vector flower lillies.eps @ 100% (RGB/Preview)]. If you need more info on the graphics please tell me where to find it and I will send it.
    This is all because the eps graphic has a white background. I have tried everything I know including opening it in Photoshop and deleting the background and it always pastes with a white background. My thought was if I can't change the background then maybe I can make a clipping mask of the pink camera and just paste it in front.
    Please help this has been a thorn in my side for too long...

    please post a screen shot of the graphic(s) as it's hard to understand exactly what you are asking
    IF these are 'vector' graphics there should be no need for a clipping mask--also--if the .eps files are small (MB or KB) try posting one of those

  • How to make a clipping mask in this particular case?

    Okay, Just to begin I know how to make a clipping mask, but for the case that I'm going to present right now I just can't figure out what mistake I am doing (if any). However I am a beginner.
    http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/how-to-create-a-medieval-paper-scroll/
    In the link to above tutorial on how to make a medieval scrol I'm stuck at step 25 and would be glad to anyone who helped.
    As said in step 25 that expand the appearance of the scroll and select the two then clip the mask. In th above picture I have just selected the scroll to show how it looks.
    Now as you can see in the image below I have expanded the appearance of the paper scroll. Then I selected the paper scrol and the yellowish green grunge background placed below it. And the moment I hit Ctrl+7 (in windows) or Command+7 (in Mac) to make a clipping mask the error that showed up has been highlighted.
    One more thing, I have clipped masks before too in the same tutorial given above but I don't know what has gone wrong for me in this step.
    Please help.
    Signed,

    Why would you want a clipping mask? I don’t see a reason for it.
    However, for what you want I would use the Pathfinder panel to combine all the paths into one shape. First use the ungroup and release compound commands a few times each, to make sure you have nothing grouped. Then press the top left button in the Pathfinder p[panel. This should produce one closed path that just surrounds the scroll.

  • Does a Clipping Mask effect just one layer?

    Hello everyone ...                                                                                      Level: Newbie   OS: Win7 64bit   Ia: Cs6
    Once I use a Clipping Mask on a layer is the entire document covered in a mask?
    And/or is all the artwork from then on inside the mask?
    I've read about how to add and how to remove art from a mask. I've read about how to make and release and lots of other things.
    So, then I went and found a lesson that contained the use of a Clipping Mask.
    But I'm stuck... again.
    I am suppose to Select the main shape and "just" copy it and move it down (doesn't say rather to Paste in front or back but I assumed in back ~ not that it has mattered thus far)
    However, while making the main shape I used Gradient Mesh and used an Offset to create a "replica" and so when I go to Select the main shape the mesh is selected and so when I Paste (in back ~ seems most logical) and then move it down the details such as the colors of the Gradient and other such things are visible in front ~ ??
    So, I have been trying to abate my problem in lots of different ways.
    I have tried using the Pen tool to draw behind the main shape, I've tried making a New Layer and placing it above and below and inbetween the main shape layer, I've tried adding the artwork to the Mask ... I've tried everything I can think of and I've been through many an article in the manual and FAQ's to no avail.
    I suppose, what I think I need to know ... is, how ... how on earth do I draw behind this main shape? Am I not able to do it becuase I am not getting behind the Mask?
    (Let me apologise to those that HATE it when Newbies follow lessons/tuts and who HATE it when we come here to ask for help. I'm doing my best to learn and to find answers on my own before heading here for help)
    Please lmk if you would be better able to help me with pictures of my layers and the art. Thanx so much for your time!!

    Thanks as well for your patience with me! It can be difficult to communicate this way, but all we can do is try our best.
    As for the issue regarding the author's "main shape"...
    Here I have an object with a gradient mesh:
    If you follow the directions in step 3 of the tutorial, the author creates a duplicate by going to Object > Path > Offset Path.
    And then inputs "0" for the offset value.
    I shifted my original gradient-meshed object down a little bit, and there you can see is the simple shape that you were seeing in the author's image. Then they just filled it with that gold gradient and scaled it down.
    And as for clipping masks...
    As I mentioned before, a clipping mask will only affect the objects and groups you had selected when you created it. For exhaustive information about clipping masks, see this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/clipping-masks.html
    I hope this was helpful! Good luck!

  • Cropping Images with Clipping Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

    In this video you will learn a quick and easy method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using clipping masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out as well as modify the clipping path later on.
    http://adobe.ly/V8tW7S

    Is there a way to make a clipping mask for a many-layered image without collapsing all the layers? I'd love to keep my image as is (it's quite complex), I just want to crop the entire thing.
    thanks!

  • Photoshop elements 6 help with making a clipping mask

    I have a button template (for a pinback) I put into elements. What I would like to do is make a country flag button. Right now the flag image is sitting ontop of the template.

  • Problems with clipping mask, Photoshop CS6

    I have been working with a clipping mask around a complex item. This included a large clipping mask around the edge of the item, along with sections inside this path that were also 'cut out'. I am not sure how, but I seem to have done something which is now stopping me from making the additional 'internal' paths. Instead of these areas being blocked by the clipping mask, they are appearing as paths drawn over the image and not as part of the clipping layer (yes, checked that I was working in the right layer).  I have checked the 'outside' path and this is all connected - no gaps.  I have tried to set up a new file and start again, but now can't seem to make the mask behave properly. Can anyone help?
    thanks
    FB

    THanks for that, but to be honest I am a real novice - learning in pieces - so am not sure how to check path modes etc. ..Any suggestions??
    Here's a screen grab of the work and current settings:
    Message was edited by: fjb3012. When I try and cut out new sections one of two things happen - I lose the image completely OR the new path sits on top of the image, with no clipping.

  • I can't get clipping mask to work

    I'm adding stars to the sky.  I did this by making a custom brush and painting on a blank layer above my image layer.  To make it look more realistic I want to add a bit of color.  So I add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and colorize to get the desired hue.  This is where I run into trouble.  I only want the adjustment layer to affect the stars I painted on and not the rest of the image so I apply a clipping mask to the Hue/Saturation layer (which is directly above my stars layer.)  When I do this the color disappears completely and does not affect any part of the image.  Any ideas why this isn't working?  I also had the same problem when I applied a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer.  I have Photoshop CC (same issue is present in both the 2014 and previous versions) for Mac.

    This is my desired end effect.  I worked around it by creating a layer mask from the stars layer but the clipping mask not working is still an issue.
    I created new Hue/Saturation layers and put them above the stars layer.  The adjustment layer changes the color of the entire image including the stars. 
    Once I clip the layers none of the image is affected, not even the stars, when it should be affecting only the stars. 

  • Trouble with Clipping Masks

    Hello!
    I created a pattern in illustrator, and then I created an object, and I wanted to fill half of the object with the pattern, so I used a clipping mask to do this.. however, now when i try to group everything together, the clipping mask in released and the pattern spills all over the artbaord... when i try to copy and paste into a new document, everything is pasted as white instead. When i try to merge the layers, the clipping mask is released...
    I'm not sure how to fix this and have been searching for a solution for it. I hope you can help me figure out how to keep the clipping mask from releasing..
    Also, I tried rasterizing but that doesnt work either and it makes my shapes all rough and choppy!
    Thank you

    Thanks for replying but unfortunately that did not help!
    I always select with the solid selection tool ^^ infact when i want to select everything i just use command+a.
    Anyway, I'm still unable to group or copy the entire picture without the clipping mask releasing..

  • Is there a fix for the slow processing yet? Clipping mask slows down Illustrator CS4 to the point it can't be used

    I've seen a few older posts regarding CS4's bug with applying a clipping mask to any image that is somewhat complex, but have yet to find an answer.
    The problem is, any time a clipping mask is applied to a semi-complex shape, Illustrator CS4 slows almost to a halt. We're talking 10 minutes of the beach ball to apply the mask and then another few minutes to do anything else with the document. This is unacceptable. My system is loaded (Dual 1.8 GHz G5, 1.25 GB of memory). The exact same files process fine in CS3. Many of our other designers are running iMacs and cannot work on the files at all using CS4. There has to be an answer to this problem.
    Prefs have been deleted, Document Raster Effects has been lowered. Any other suggestions?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    My system is loaded (Dual 1.8 GHz G5, 1.25 GB of memory).
    Uhm.. that's "loaded"? That's like the slowest G5 made with almost the minimum amount of RAM.
    But.. I agree with you. Clipping masks seems to drastically slow CS4 down. Even if an object isn't really complex, but included many objects. I'm running a much faster system than you are and I have to wait around 3 to 10 seconds after any operation for some files. It's annoying. So far, I've not found any solution other than to expand and clip the masks.
