How do I cut a circle shape out of a block of text in  Illustrator?

I don't like the effect area type tool gives so I want to do it manually i.e. have a box filled with my text then put a circle over it and cut everything except what's in the circle. I don't want a mask though, I want it permanently cropped.

Yes to end up with partials. I'm wanting to making the word "worlds" into a circle, that is an eillipse filled with instances of "worlds" text in it with no outline in the ellipse. It doesn't matter that parts of characters will be lost.
Similarly, I want to do the opposite, have a page filled with text and cut a shape out so the emphasis is on the cut shape (in this instance it's a palm tree shape) again it matters not that parts of some of the characters in the text will be cut.

  • Cut a heart shape out of one photo and put on another

    I just installed pse 10 tonight and I need to frame out a part of a picture in a heart shape and put that heart shape on a layer so I can put that layer over my background photo.  How do I do this.  Also, the pse 10 box shows a couple with happy anniversary around their picture in a circle and flowers surrounding the circle.  Can anyone help me?

      You can add a solid color fill layer or drag your background image from the project bin into the main window with your heart. Then drag the background layer down the layer stack so that it sits below the heart layer and shows through the transparency.

  • How do I cut a circle into equal parts?

    I have a circle but I want to cut it into 5 equal parts and have each part on a seperate layer - kind of like a pie chart. Is there a quick and easy way to do this in CS6?

    Not to my knowledge.  No easy way, that is. I would think maybe easier done in Illstrator.
    Good luck

    Use the elliptical marquee tool, hold down shift to constrain a circle, then when you've got everything the way you want, Image>crop.

  • How to clip shapes out of outlines

    Hey guys, so, I have a stroke of a circle, and I want to clip a shape out of the edge:
    When I use the parallelogram as the mask, I get this:
    When in fact, I want the inversion of that:
    I mimicked that by just making the parallelogram white, but how would I do that using clipping masks?

    theorange,
    To do it with a Clipping Mask, you will have to do it in reverse; you may:
    1) Create an object at least as large as the object to be clipped (a large rectangle will do);
    2) Select the large object from 1) and the shape you showed in the OP image, then Object>Compound Path>Make;
    3) Use 2) as the Clipping Path for the Clipping Mask.
    The Opacity Mask is somewhat easier for a case like this.
    This is because the Clipping Mask can only show what is masked, whereas the Opacity Mask can both hide and show, and even make transitions in between the two.
    Hi Peter. Still no show here.

  • How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
    FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

  • How do i "cut" parts out of tracks in i-tunes

    ages ago when i 1st got an i-pod someone told me how to selectively cut unwanted parts (ie 20 mins of silence) out of tracks in i-tunes..... for example so that when i have "something in the way" from "nevermind" in my i-tunes instead of the track being over 20 mins long, it is only the 3mins 48secs of the actual song.
    can anyone remind me as to how this is done. many thanks

    glad you got it working marti.
    we've got a user tip on the itunes technique now, so you can refer to that just in case memory fails (i know that feeling ...) again.

  • How should I cut out people on bicycles with a background of a forest?

    Dear Everyone,
    I have an image of three people on bicycles in a forest - I need to cut the people/bicycles out of the background for use in a photo collage. Since the nooks and crannies in and around the bicycle are so small, I am not sure that even the pen tool is the best method to use. What do you suggest?
    Thanks so much!!

    Could you post a lores-version and maybe a fullres-detail (with the camera icon)?
    Clipping intricate stuff out of a richly structured background (as wood probably is) is usually a difficult task, but seeing the image might give a better idea of how bad the situation is.

  • Edit is greyed out, how can I cut and paste

    when I want to copy something from a web page, I click on the orange "Firefox" but the edit option is greyed out and not usable. How can I cut, copy, and paste in this new format?

    You can do one of the following after you have highlighted what you want to copy:
    *click the Firefox button, the middle icon (looks like 2 pages with folded corners) will be available for clicking; that icon is "Copy" if you rest your cursor over the icon
    *click the Firefox button, click the small triangle at the far right of Edit, click "Copy"
    *in Windows, click Ctrl+C to "Copy" (Ctrl+V will "Paste")
    I have "Copy", "Paste" and "Cut" buttons on the Customize Palette which you can drag to a toolbar. To open the Customize toolbar window, click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout; if using the Menu Bar, click View > Toolbars > Customize.

  • How do I cut something out? (I've spent a lot of time researching already!)

    Question: how do I cut something out?
    i.e. remove the background
    No need to ask in here: there must be a 1000 videos on youtube showing you how 
    Except: I've done this - in total I must have sat through 20 minutes of video - I don't think I've got my answer  
    The videos I've seen use the lassoo tool to very roughly cut out and just do a dodgy blur on the edges
    This can't be the way it's done!!
    I can use the lassoo tool myself and spend 5 days cutting a picture out
    Is this how it's done??
    Cutting pictures out = large time consuming task??
    Someone once told me about a tool that you can use (That you have to pay for)
    I can't remember what it's called
    The magic eraser is great - 5% of the time  
    What am I missing?
    Thanks

    The online tutorials I've seen which make it look easy to extract a subject from the background are either professional studio images with proper lighting and a suitable background, or otherwise great shots which are sharp and have clear differentiation between the subject to be extracted and the background. If your image is not perfect like that, you may have to use a combination of several tools to improve your selection.  After you've removed the background, you may have some work to do to to make the cut-out look natural against its new background. As R_Kelly has pointed out, without knowing what version of PS you have (= what tools you have at your disposal) and the specific challenges of your image, no one will be able to give you useful advice.

  • How do you cut out exact figures?

    When I use the lasso tool to carve out a figure and paste it in some other application I get the the figure I cut embedded in a white box. How do I just cut and paste only the figure?

    Thanks that worked!

    Subject: How do you cut out exact figures?
    System clipboards can be finicky, to say the least.
    Also which operating system and application do you want to paste into?
    The following may help:
    1. With your selection active around your object, right click inside the selection.
        In the menu choose New Layer via Copy. (makes a new layer with just your
        selected object)
    2. Right click on the new layer in the layers pallete and choose Duplicate Layer.
        In the dialog box, where it says document choose new from the drop down menu.
        You can name it or not. Click ok.
    3. A new document should be created with just that layer.
    4. Depending on how big the document is, you could use the Rectangle Marque Tool
       (M on the keyboard) and draw a selection box around your object and then go to
       Image>Crop, then Select>Deselect.
    5. Save your image as a PNG file. File>Save As and choose png from the drop down.
        It should say File must be saved as copy, thats fine.
    6. Open or insert your png into the application of choice.

  • Help with making circle shape photo....

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me
    out please.
    I am using Photoshop CS Version 8.   I have a photo which I would like to print out but in a circle shape.  I'm a bit of a novice at Photoshop and can only really re-size, crop and alter tints/hues and thats about it.  After struggling with this I found this tutorial in Youtube but go so far and am stuck.
    http://http://www.youtube.com/user/ijaza83#p/a/u/2/nmz40OH7LK4
    The photo is 4 x 5.3in but I want the circle to be 4 x 4 in.  That is what I sized it when I did File, New.  I can draw the circle but its not a steady line, its like dotted and when I click the background or anywhere in the image, the circle disappears.  Also by fluke, another time I got as far as placing the photo and dragging it to fit but could not get the photo inside the circle.  I'm not good at layers and mine seem to say set 1, not stage 1.   I don't find it as easy as it is in the video.  Can anyone enlighted me please?
    Message was edited by: Tichbourn

    I use CS3, so I can tell you how I'd do it, but I can't be sure it's applicable to your version:
    Open the photograph.
    Create a new layer on top of it.
    Double click on the background layer to unlock it.  It now becomes Layer 0.  Move Layer 1 under Layer 0.
    Go to the Eliptical Tool and set the Fixed Ratio 1 to 1.
    Circle the picture - move the dotted circle to frame the area you want.  Then Select -> Inverse; Then Edit -> Cut.
    Merge Down, and save as a JPEG.   Then you can print the image.
