If you think Photoshop is the only program that allows you to cut out images, think again. In this tutorial, I show you how to use the pen and clipping mask tools to clip out parts a picture in Adobe Illustrator.

I was watching this when I was trying to fix a mistake I'd made. When you happened to reference how to make a clipping mask in illustrator, I realized how to fix my mistake immediately. I cannot tell you how much that just saved me from utter despair. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 8 жыл бұрын
+glyn whittington So, if you have multiple (non-connected) shapes you want to cut out simultaneously, you just need to make the shapes a compound path by selecting them all and either going to Object>Compound Path>Make, or by hitting Command 8; then create the clipping mask the same way I did in the video. Hope that helps!

Hey, loved your video. What approach would you suggest, if one wanted to cut out scripture out of an image, like Mickey Mouse, to move it around and vectorise it?
@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 2 жыл бұрын
Vectorizing/color-blocking an image would be a different approach. Using the "Image Trace" tool would probably be more useful for something like you are describing.

Hey! good video! I am trying to cut out a shape from inside a pre cut shape, but all i'm left with is the piece that I'd have liked removed. this is the same despite clicking them in different orders first, how do i go about this? ( I'm trying to remove the neckline gap of a t shirt on a hanger)
@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 6 жыл бұрын
Hi Lacey! To do that, you'd need to subtract the neckline gap shape from the outer shape before making the clipping mask. Once you have both overlapping objects traced (with both of them selected), you would go to Pathfinder>Minus Front. Once you've done that, you can create the clipping mask like normal using your new shape with the "hole" cut out. :)

@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Reina! I can't say I know why that would happen unfortunately. With files that have transparent backgrounds, you usually want to export them as a PNG file. I'm not sure if that's what you tried to do already.

Hi There! It could be a number of things that are going wrong, so it's hard to say without seeing your screen. I would make sure that you have your shape ON TOP of you image and BOTH the shape and the image selected before trying to create your clipping mask.

HI, i been looking several videos, but still I don't understand how to DO THE OPPOSITE, HOW TO CROP OR CUT A IMAGE OUT OF THE IMAGE. Imagine cropping out the star, and LEAVE THE BACKGROUND, How do I do that?
@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 7 жыл бұрын
Hi James, The principle is still the same. Essentially, you would just need to make a shape that would encompass the whole image EXECPT the star. A simple way to do that would be to trace the star image like I did in the video, then create a rectangle behind the star object, then select them both (with the star shape on top), and go to Pathfinder>Minus Front (Subtract). After that, you could use that shape to create the clipping mask like normal. Hope that helps! Mandee

how do you cut something within the object? like say you are cropping a donut and you need the center hole cropped too?
@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 6 жыл бұрын
Great question! Using the donut shape as an example, what you would need to do is this: (1) Before creating the clipping mask, create the Ellipse Tool to create a round shape, (2) Duplicate the shape in front, and scale it down as needed, (3) With both shapes selected, go to Pathfinder>Minus Front. You'll have your donut shape now, and can successfully create your clipping mask like normal. :)

Very helpful, but what if your image has an area within the object that you would like to cut out as well, for example cutting out the outline of a head and also cutting out the eyes.
@DesignsByMissM
@DesignsByMissM 7 жыл бұрын
Good question! Probably the easiest thing to do would be to duplicate the image, and create a new cut out/clipping path for the second shape. If you need to cut out two separate shapes (that aren't touching) from the same image, though (like eyes, for instance), your best bet is to draw the shape and then turn them into a compound path (select both and go to Object>Compound Path>Make) before creating the clipping mask. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi Davi, Are you referring to the white art board behind the image? If so, it only shows up depending on how you save/export the file. If you want to have a transparent background, all you need to do is make sure that when you export the file (File>Export) you save it as a PNG and select "Transparent" as the background color. Hope that answers your question! Mandee
