How do I mask out the middle of an Object?

Hello everyone...
I am using CS4...
I have a circular object that I need to mask out the center of it too...
I know how to do the masking of the outter part of the onject just cant figure out how to knock-out the center!
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

yes like the earlier guys said......lets say you have a picture and you want to make the outer edge masked to a circle and you also want to make a portion in the center be knocked out. Take the outer circle where you want it and make the inner circle where you want that one. Select both of the circle and make it a compound path. Then put your compound path on top of your image and select both of them and make it a clipping mask. It acts screwy sometimes so try it a couple times and it should eventually work!

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.
    I................I
    I................I
    I....I__I....I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I................I
    I________I
    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?

    I know how to crop the beginning or end of a video, but I would like to crop out a section in the middle. I don't want to lose the part following the cropped frames. What must I do? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Miriam

    Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?
    Yes.
    What must I do?
    Basically you have three options:
    1) If the clip is in the "Event" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want and transfer it to your "Project" window and place it where you want it.
    2) If the clip is already in the "Project" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want to keep...
    a) and press the "Split" option in the edit menu (or the "Split Clip" option in the context menu) to divide the clip into three segments. Then select each of the segments you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove them from the "Project" window.
    b) or, even easier, simply press the "Trim to Selection" option in the "Edit" menu.
    All of these work flows do not physically remove anything from the "Event" but merely perform a non-destructive edit of the project for the purpose of later output.

  • How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat.

    How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat. I have tried the pre-flight option but I really don't understand the pixels width x depth information that I get. I basically just want to know at dpi of a single image. Is there other program that will read my pdf file and tell me this information.

    Thank you, tylerdurdain! That was ridiculously difficult to find. Not sure what version of Acrobat you're using in your image, but for those using Acrobat Pro 11 (in Mavericks), it's buried under View > Tools > Print Production.
    That opens a panel on the right.
    To keep from having to chase it down this way each time, right click on "Output Preview" and choose "Add to Quick Tools Toolbar". That adds a button to the top right of the toolbar.
    Now you can call up the inspector with one click. Choose Object Inspector as tylerdurdain shows above, then click on the item displayed to get its properties.

  • How can I find out the overall time and not only the time of a single clip?

    I have set up two cameras in one room. Both cameras record the same thing from different perspectives at the same time. I have found an interesting scene for video 1 (recorded by camera 1). Now I would like to find the time at which the interesting scene takes place in video 2.
    However, I have not seen any way to get displayed, at what time the scene starts in relation to the total length of the video (e.g: scene starts after 5 minutes from total 10 minutes).
    The indicated time refers only to a part of the clip and not to the overall project, even if a special clip is not selected. Does anyone know, how I can find out the time?

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup.  It will be shown just below the Back Up Now button at the bottom.

  • How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

    Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
    If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone? 

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

  • How can I find out the mail server from email address?

    Hi:
    How can I find out the mail server from email address?
    for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
    how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
    THANK YOU

    You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
    The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

  • I entered the incorrect password for my home wifi network and now I can't change it. How do I clear out the wrong password so that I can enter a correct one?

    I entered the incorrect password for my home wifi network, and now I can't change it. How do I clear out the wrong password so that I can enter a correct one?

    Settings > wi-fi  then tap on the little blue arrow next to the network you want to change. You have to tap on the blue arrow and not on the name.
    Now at the top tap on "forget this network".
    After that, the iPhone will think your home network is a new network and will ask you for the password to connect.

  • How do I print out the value returned by a method in main??

    I'm a total newbie at java, I want to know how I can print out the value returned by this function in the "Main" part of my class:
    public int getTotalPrice(int price)
    int totalprice=price+(price*0.08);
    return totalprice;
    I just want to know how to print out the value for total price under "public static void main(String[] args)". thanks in advance,
    Brad

    Few ways you could do it, one way would be to create an instance of the class and call the method:
    public class Test
        public double getTotalPrice(int price)
            double totalprice = price + (price * 0.08);
            return totalprice;
        public static void main(String[] args)
            Test t = new Test();
            System.out.println(t.getTotalPrice(52));
    }Or another would be to make getTotalPrice() static and you could call it directly from main.

  • How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

    How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
    Thanks,
    Gregory

    Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.
