Clipping in Quark

[Miriam Schaer]

Hi I am new to the forum, and am having a quark problem (suprise) I am working in Quark 5, and am trying to clip an image and keep getting the message 'too many points' the image is an oval plate. Back when using quark 4, I clipped many more complicated images-does anyone have any ideas to help get around this? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks Miriam (bklynbkgrrl)

I'm not sure what you mean....what tool are you trying to use to clip it? What is your intended finished result?

I am trying to 'silhouette' the image-so when I put it on top of another image, the white edges in the picture box will be transparent. I have done this in the past, but for some reason its not working now....the clipping option is under the Item pull down menu, fourth from the top. Thanks for your help

Check your clipping path in the image thorough Photoshop.

the clipping function in Quark has always been a little funky.

Try playing around with the threshold values and such on the clipping window. Maybe you'll get lucky...as defjoe sez it's hit and miss.

I find the best way to avoid those little specks of 'white' in a clipping path done in Photoshop is to create a background layer in Photoshop that is the same color (or close to) the background that this clipped image is going over. If your background is blue, then make a blue background in Photoshop and do your clipping path. If I remember right, you will need to save the graphic as a Photoshop EPS.
