Let me start off by saying THANK YOU!!!!!!! Do you know how many videos I have seen, and How many times I have spoken to adobe and no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE KNEW how to do this on illustrator? Because of you NOW I CAN USE IT WITH MY BRUSH TOOL!!! And for people who don't have Photoshop you just need to place the pattern (usually jpg) in illustrator then save it as an illustrator file (.ai) and then you can follow from the embedding step till the end and save it :)

3 years later still relevant. Helped me reach a solution for another problem, I was trying to make a shape out of a vector image to clip mask over a jpeg I downloaded, proved to be kinda complicated. I instead turned the jpeg into a swatch, and penned an outline of my vector art and filled it in. Tyvm!

Thanks for this - I didn’t know about the embedding....if I make a pattern from a photo (raster) and fill a vector shape with it, does the pattern become vectorised? Will it scale? Or wd I need to image trace first to do that? Does it even matter for a typical pattern?
@graceannebyrd84492 жыл бұрын
I would also like to hear about creating a pattern out of imbedded images (like placing images in a certain way and creating a seamless repeat from them) - when I bring my watercolor objects from Ps and embed them in Ai, they have a white background. I do not want to vectorize my watercolors, so how can I remove the background of an embedded object to use for a pattern?
@matthewduboski50642 жыл бұрын
@@graceannebyrd8449 Use the pen tool to trace an outline of your watercolor, in Ai, if need be use bezier curves for accuracy. From there you can create a clip mask and essentially crop the white BG out of it. With my limited knowledge that's what I'd do.
@matthewduboski50642 жыл бұрын
@@graceannebyrd8449 A quick google also garnered this: 1; Click File and "Save as“. You want to choose Illustrator EPS from the menu that will appear. Press Save. 2; Go with Tiff (8-bit Color) from the next menu (Format) underneath Preview in the EPS window that will show up. You want to make sure it’s Transparent, so click that and press OK and - hey presto! - you have an EPS file with a transparent background.

Heidi,I have an image that has stamps all over from my Graduation photo and I want to copy the background,save it and then cut myself out and then without the (do not copy) stamp all over my face and the lifetouch company down in the bottom corner,Iam trying to rack my brain and it's giving me headaches over the simplest thing,I actually found your video here and I said "now that's what I've been looking for!!!" The stamp and the background eraser tool is just making kind of visible splotches and because of the light background,it's hard to do that,you still see the paint brush circle marks.Can you help me with this,I know that girls and women have a clear mind and are pros at doing things rather than men.Iam guilty for saying that cause Iam a man so I love seeing girls and women doing these youtube tutorials for a change!!!
