Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 646 The best way to mask an image in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week I'm going to show you the best way to…mask a photographic image inside Adobe Illustrator…using a path outline that you draw inside Adobe Photoshop.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, here's the final effect inside Illustrator…just so you have a chance to see it on screen.…I'm going to switch over to Photoshop,…where we have that Dreams Time image.…And I'm going to get rid of the URL,…because we don't want it.…
You do want to go ahead and flatten the image…by going into the Layer menu and choosing…the flatten image command.…And then, you can go up to the Window menu…and choose the Paths command.…To bring up the Paths panel right here,…and go ahead and click on face outline to select it.…Now, this time around you do not need to turn…it into a clipping path.…That is neither necessary, nor will…it work for our purposes.…So I'm going to make sure that this guy is set to none,…and then click okay.…
And next, I'll go ahead and select the black arrow tool.…
