Adobe Illistrator help[views:2121][posts:20]______________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 7:07pm - the_reverend ""] I have a document and I want to up size the layers on it and then crop the whole thing... anyone know how to do this? I can zoom in on my layers and they are vectors or whatever so they look good when you zoom. I just don't know how to upsize them all so when I pull it in to photoshop, it's too small. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 8:25pm - LaptopKok ""] or: edit/free transform/scale |

I'm looking and there is no free transform under edit... though there is in photoshop. this is illistrator that I'm having issues with, not ps. I'm also using illistrator cs2 |

| _________________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 9:29pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] [img] that's the box I was talking about |
| _________________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 9:31pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] BTW, if youi've never used the Align features, they will blow your mind. Worth the cost of the bundle. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 9:46pm - the_reverend ""] it was actually just one of the pointers and the document setup that did it for me in the end. unforunately, pscs2 rasterizes the images when you import it... bastards. |

If you want real integrity only work with vector based stuff like TIFF and EPS. |

| _________________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 9:53pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Illustrator has tons of really really really useful tools that Photoshop several lacks, and vice versa. I hate the limited image editing capabilities of illustrator, but I love the fact that, for instance, you can just click with the rectangle tool and then put in the size and BAM there it is. Why the fuck doesn't PS have that??? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 9:59pm - the_reverend ""] one day they will combine the 2.. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 11:04pm - dreadkill ""] vector is better than raster. i like illustrator way more than photoshop. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 14,2006 9:56am - the_reverend ""] ok.. I need some more help.. I have to cut out parts of a text layer. how to you make a mask? |
| __________________________________ [Feb 14,2006 10:21am - soloman ""] parts of a text layer? you can't just delete the text from the text box you dont want? |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 14,2006 10:26am - the_reverend ""] I have a layer that is a drawn out shape. I want to only display the text that is in a certain location inside the oddly shaped group of vectors. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 14,2006 10:53am - soloman ""] you can mask by putting a shape over your other shape. Select both shape objects, and then go to objects/clipping mask/make mask. will that work? |
| __________________________________ [Feb 14,2006 10:54am - soloman ""] you can put it over a grouped bunch of shapes too, not just another single shape. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 15,2006 5:25pm - the_reverend ""] I'm going to try this tonight |
