Hey There,
I just had to make a clipping mask for what was in my opinion a not very complex image but illustrator wouldn't do it.
When i exported the illustrator doc to PS as an eps it did it no problem and what is worse my boss did it no problems in Corel.
On this occasion can use the PS version but there seems to be greater post application flexibilty in Illy (i.e. i can move the image around inside the mask)
Is there a way to make illy objects more mask friendly.
As i said wasn't that complex. some text, an oval and the outline of a tree.

I can make the illy oblects into a compound path and then the clipping mask works.
ANd stays editable.
Maybe i should always read the past posts befor starting new ones eh?
