Interior clipping paths in photoshop image dont show up in Quark

Iv'e added a clipping path to image that has interior paths (inside the main clipping path)
I save as clipping path and save image as an eps.
When I import the image into Quark XPress and place over colored background the interior paths are not clipping out (punching out) to see the background color.
The clipping path shows up in the Quark document but doesn't punch out when I export as a pdf.
This is also happening when I import the image into InDesign and make a pdf.
Any thoughts?

In your tools panel are these icons … . Select your paths with the Path Selection Tool (black arrow) and make sure you have used the correct "path area" option for each individual path.

  • Trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5

    Hello everyone, I am having trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5. When I start a new path both path and anchor points are not visible. working on a Layer not background 0 and a Path Layer was created.I've also noticed that Photoshop started running pretty slow. All other programs are fine. Any Ideas or suggestions? Thank You

    What do you mean by "a Path Layer was created"?  Path are in the path palette, there is a path in shape layers and they is a path in a vector layer mask. I have never seen a reference to a path layer before this.  When a path in the path palette is selected activate it wall also be shown in the image window.  Does not matter if there is a targeted layer or not.  Control points may or may not be displayed. Using Path tool you can select and select segments and show some or all control points, Path are editable.
    View the following image in a new tab and scale to actual pixels for a clear image this site scales image poorly.

  • Attached images dont show up

    Attached images dont show up. One has to select message -> alternate view to preview incoming attachements; if i send attachements to windows or mobile systems they dont show up at all. Is this a snow bug? does anyone know this issue and has a solution ready?

    Please create a New User Account, and as that New User launch Mail and try setting up this IMAP email account. See the following if not familiar with adding a new user account (which I am sure you are):

    The reason for doing this is to test the Mail app itself and the particular settings in the normal user account, and not to permanently switch to a new user account. Tell me if the behavior continues in that New User Account with Mail and these messages?

  • Clipping paths in photoshop .... imported to indesing

    I have a catalog I am doing. I have not wokred with clipping paths in years. I am clueless on what is going on here. Can someone look at this photoshop image and tell me how to import it into indesign without the black background? THe photographer said she made them all with clipping paths in photoshop. I have no idea what to do I have tried what I researched but I see no path and would prefer to find out here what the answer is rather than going back to her and looking like a dummy.
    Thank you

    Thats exactly what I have been doing but I am now running behind on the project because I took 10 hours to do that stuff when the client thinks they did it already... : (
    I will have a discussion with them about it... thank you for your help!

  • Embed clipping path without embedding image

    I embed Photoshop images all the time in order to get a vectorized version of the clipping path. Afterwards, I relink the image I just embedded and the new vector becomes the mask. It would be nice if I didn't have to embed the image itself in order to embed the clipping path. Even better, it would be nice to see which images had clipping paths right inside of Illustrator without having to embed them or open Photoshop. Maybe this could be part of the "Link Info"?

    Could you just export the path for the clipping path from Photoshop to Illustrator?
    You know export paths to Illustrator under the file menu in Photoshop? Or just drag the path from Photoshop to the Illustrator document?
    Oh I see what you want you want to link the file with the option to have the clipping mask be a live editable clipping mask in AI and in the same relative position.
    Interesting option, like a check box link file embed clipping mask.

  • How do I show a clipping path on an image in Illustrator?

    Hi there
    I am a beginner when it comes to Illustrator and only use it when I have to - like now!
    I was wondering - Is it possible to place an image into an AI file and show its clipping path? (that was created in Photoshop)
    I have tried saving the image as a TIFF, PSD but no luck.
    I have also attached a screen shot - just to show the image that has a path.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have placed the image but the 'Embed' option isn't highlighted so I can't click on this!
    I think I have worked out another way to do this - I have saved the image on a transparent background in photoshop as a psd file and then when I place this in AI, the Photoshop Import options box appears and with this set to 'Convert layers to objects' it somehow
    works! like so............ (probably not the best way to do it?!!)

  • Rotating an image within a clipping path in Photoshop CS5

    When you have taken a photo of an image, then open it up in     Photoshop and realise its on a bit of an angle but you make a clipping path     around it first and save it, then afterwards want to rotate it - Is there a     way of linking the path with the image layer so they rotate together in     one step?,
    Or can you only rotate the image layer first then the path separately as     thats what I ended up doing?
    Hoping someone can help me and answer my question

    If your clipping path is stored in the Paths panel, then no. But you can select the path then go to Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path. Not transform the layer and the path is transformed, too. You can then open the Paths panel and drag the vector path onto the New Path button to duplicate it and make it a clipping path for the entire image.

  • How do I save a clipping path in Photoshop so that Quark gives me the option to change the path opti

    I created a clipping path on a photo, clipping out a person's head so that I can have the person's head show up over the masthead on a cover.
    But when I save the photo in Photoshop and then import it into Quark, the option where it says I can change the clipping options in Quark is greyed out.
    This is what it says to possibly fix it on the Quark help page:
    "You may want to choose "None" from the Clipping path pop-up menu when you save the image from Adobe Photoshop, so you can specify which path to use as the clipping path when you import the image into QuarkXPress. Or, you may want to choose a path from the Clipping path pop-up menu, so you can be sure only that path will be used to clip the image."
    I don't understand what that refers to....I can't find anything like that in the Photoshop options.
    My goal is to have the person's head over the text, with the rest of the photo still retained in the background. As it is now, I just get an import of the clipping path alone, with Quark substituting the background part of the photo with a white box.
    Thanks!

  • How do you make a circle clipping path in PhotoShop CS4?

    All online help that I have found so far, shows me how to hand draw a complex shape. I just need a circle. I can do this in a few minutes in CorelDRAW and Illustrator.
    You must be able to do it in PhotoShop. The end result is - I want it to work like a ship porthole. All you can see is what is behind the port window.
    Thanks!!!!

    Does this help at all??? I skipped CS4
    Can also just add the path in as a vector layer mask
    Save the work path with a name once you have a saved path you can use the path palette's fly-out menu item "Clipping Path".

  • Reset clipping Path after replacing image?

    Hello
    I have some code that works in CS3 but not in CS4. I need to reset the clipping path used after replacing an image in CS4. I use the method below to do this.
    If I go to "Object->Clipping path Options " after I have updated the image, the settings look ok, but the whole image is show and not the selected path. If I change something in the dialog, like Inset frame , the the correct path is applied. Do I need to redraw the image somehow after I have processed the kSetClipValuesCmdBoss command?

    A clipping path is equivalent to a Mask or a Track Matte in After Effects.
    To use your Illustrator logo as a track matte, place it's layer above the Fill layer, and then choose the Alpha Matte option from the Matte drop-down list on the Fill layer.

  • Images dont show up

    Hi im a graphic designer and not really strong in web design so im having a bit of trouble with the site im creating for the company i work for. i created the site off line and created it in Dreamweaver CS3 now as far as I kno all my links are accurate and all the folders are where theyre suppose to be because when i test it in the preview browser it works fine the problem is when i uploaded it to our server & tested it out i noticed that some of the images werent showing up & im not sure why because all the images are in the folders and other images show up while these don't
    please take a look
    http://www.sunnydesigns.com/New%20Site/index.html
    as you can see i have the new site in a folder called new site but i dont think that should matter as everything with in it is placed where its suppose to be
    and another wierd thing is that in some pages the images show up but not in others if anybody knows why or thinks they might know why please help me out :]

    well theyre here i can see them in my server
    do u think it could b that the image names have capital "C"s while the link to the images might have lowercase "c"s ?
    EDIT
    I figured it out
    for some reason the links have the 1st letter capped like Home & Company while the actual names of the images are home.png & company.png
    & in the previewer i guess it lets that lil change slide while the actual internet it wont T.T
    now i have to go n change every link lol
    but at least now i know what is going on so thanks

  • Images dont show up on page

    Thumbnail images no longer show up when i use youtube or visit a web site, and my face book no longer shows images either. For instance, on youtube home page, it will show links and text, but the images are not present.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
    There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • My images dont show on cs4

    i dl the trial i open it up and i open an image a PSD and nothing shows but a black screen
    the only time i see the picture is when i hold on the mouse but the soonest i let it go it goes back to black.
    i got a 1.8 dual core
    1 gig of ram
    integrated graffix
    windows vista.

    Disable your OpenGL fin your performance preferences. See if that resolves your issue. I know one of the main reasons to get CS4 is for the OpenGL but at least you can use the program. Like everyone else is saying, update your drivers.
