20 years. That is how long it did not know how to do this! 20 years ago I decided "crop doesn't work" and never even see that button now. It was because I had always done it with the clipping mask IN the group! Thanks!

[@HelenBradley]

Glad I could help! Thanks for your comment too!

[@tessellatiaartilery8197]

Thanks for this stellar explanation. I was having difficulties stripping down some masked objects insides symbols until I watched this. I learnt some bonus things too - Opacity issues in groups, expanding strokes to get the desired end result in some cases. Most worthwhile ten minutes of the week watching your video. Do keep up the great work, it's much appreciated!

Awesome news!

[@involutionOcean]

This was very useful, thanks. I've kinda ignored the crop operation, silly of me I know. The awesome developers at Astute, who make a fantastic suite of plugins for Illustrator, have been working on their own version of pathfinder via their Astui research and API project. It's on the backburner right now but I think it's coming. I think their aim is to make their own and more sophisticated pathfinder palette that would work as you'd expect, rather than all this messing around. In the background it'll probably be doing automatically all the things you had to manually do here, but in the blink of an eye.

[@HelenBradley]

That sounds like it will be an amazing plug-in. In the meantime at least you know how to do it the hard way.

[@chazdesimone7306]

I had a favorite teacher, Mrs. Hix, in 4th grade. She explained everything clearly, thoroughly, and with a pleasant voice and warm personality. She is still my favorite teacher of all time, and I'm 70 years old. You are my new favorite teacher. Obviously, Mrs. Hix wasn't teaching computer graphics 60 years ago. I have one question related to this: besides "cleaning things up," is it advantageous to crop the extraneous stuff-does it conserve memory, file size, other resources? Thanks. (I liked, of course, and subscribed.)

[@HelenBradley]

I am so happy to hear this Chaz. I am thrilled to join the team along with Mrs Hix. The reason people will remove extra stuff is typically just for neatness. For your own use you might not bother, but if you are selling stock art, for example, having a clipping mask in a file to 'neaten things up' is a big NO. No one wants to buy messy artwork and some stock sites just plain wouldn't accept your work. When you are selling art you aren't just selling one image, you're typically trying to build a worthwhile brand and you are unlikely to get repeat customers if your artwork looks like spaghetti. Neat, well labelled, trimmed, clean artwork is a thing of beauty and so much easier to work with as a consumer. For your own use, if you come back at a later time to change something you'll also appreciate things well ordered and neat. It will conserve some file size but, with vectors, file size is typically not a huge issue.

[@JoeBodego]

Nice tutorial, i use the shape builder tool for this

[@HelenBradley]

That's a great alternative Joe. I just tried it to see how it would work on that pattern with transparency and it worked great in the sense that it didn't have problems with the object that had transparency applied at a group level - so that makes it a valid option in that sense. That said, I still have a one pixel size shape somewhere around the outside of where the clipping mask is/was that will take me some time to find and remove. In the meantime I don't have my seamless repeat tile - instead, when I use my object as a pattern fill the result has a whopping big white line through it. So I like your option for big simple shapes but I am thinking this option will work better for detailed/complex ones. I would have had a working result in a few minutes with my method on that complex pattern - with your method, I'm still trying to find really small pixel size objects :(

[@pseebald1]

When I hit Crop only my outside shape remains. What am I doing wrong? For example if I want to keep everything inside of a circle and I hit crop my art that I want clipped disappears and my circle remains

[@B___86]

Helen, if you select 'Trim' from Pathfinder options instead of 'Crop' it seems to work without additional steps. This video is older, so I was wondering if you've tried that out?

[@HelenBradley]

That's awesome Brandon. I just tried it and it works a treat. I don't think it is the age of the video just that I wasn't aware of this tool. I'll look to making a new video on this as it is super handy! Interestingly it doesn't work like the crop tool so it doesn't work in other situations the same way the Crop tool does but it works so well for Clipping Masks! Thank you.

Hi, when I try to do this, my whole design disappears. I took a look at the layers and I cannot see anything that would cause this - before I crop all layers look identical to your layers panel. I do have compound elements in the clipped group but they are simply strokes and no fill. My whole design is all stroke and no fill. Any advice? PS, thanks for sharing your knowledge with me - you helped me more than you can imagine

[@HelenBradley]

I’m pretty sure you can’t do this with strokes. I think you’ll need filled shapes.

[@samanthacampos2307]

When I try to do it with a gradiet mesh, and try to remove all the content outside the rectangle with crop, it says "The filter produced no results please select two overlapping paths" :(

[@HelenBradley]

Samantha, Gradient Meshes are very complex so you'd need to expand the mesh before removing the content outside the clipping mask.

[@artdsn]

great!!!

[@HelenBradley]

Glad to be of help.

[@danielcoward8496]

Thank you for your excellent tutorial. Frustratingly for me, I am not getting the desired result? I am producing a repeating background to use as a swatch, the background features a solid colour background and 8 different images created in photoshop positioned and spcaed out over it. Clipping mask steps work as expected however, when I action the crop step the inverse happens, instead of removing the images spilled off the artboard, the background disappears? If you have any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.

[@HelenBradley]

Daniel - I just ran a test on this for you and the issue is most likely to be that the images you mention which come from Photoshop are actually bitmap images and not vectors. You can't crop bitmap images using the Crop feature - you can use clipping masks though and that's part of your answer. Here is a video which I think will solve your problem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6Ozf6uVjZ5sa9U Ignore the Spoonflower focus as the process is the same for any time you need a repeat background to use as a swatch! Best of luck!

Hi, I've tried my project and it is not working. I am using Adobe Illustrator CS6 does this method work on mine too? because I am using vector (I made it from photo) and can't see the clipping mask layer on my layer pannel :(

[@HelenBradley]

This works on vectors and not on bitmap images. A photo is a bitmap so it won't work for you. Sorry!

[@DisneyUpBoilerUp]

I think I'm dragging the wrong part out. When I crop, everything disappears, including the piece I want to keep. :/ The only 2 items I have in the group are the clipped piece I want, and another piece that looks like the no fill/no stroke shapes at 2:32. I'm thinking I did something wrong, lol. If I delete the no fill shape, it deletes the mask and makes the piece I want clipped whole again. lol. I'm a mess. UPDATE: I got it to work, but no idea what I did, lol. All good though. Thanks for the video's I refer to you channel often.

[@HelenBradley]

I am so glad you got this to work. One thing to look out for with the Crop tool is sometimes it "double crops" so it does it twice and not once with disastrous results. Undoing and doing it again very slowly and carefully sometimes works. Just a thought.

Unfortunately no. It only works with vectors.

@@HelenBradley In this case does the remaining part of the picture that sticks out (invisibly) from the clipping mask have effect on the artboard? Especially when printing will there be any issues? Thank you in advance :)

Patt, it doesn't. If you save your document as a PNG image it remains transparent around the edges and it doesn't have an effect on the artboard either. It should print as you see it on the screen.

Brilliant. Have a problem though. I did this and I would like to split the image then mirror both of them. So I get a kind of a Rorschach affect. None of the cutting/splitting functions seem to work even after I selected all and grouped them. I find no answer to this product anywhere.

[@AverageHomeBoy]

Normally when this happens, it's because it needs to be expanded/expand appearance.

[@MaggiieBabiiee]

I am trying to get rid of my background a photo, and I have made the mask around the face that I want to keep. I need the background gone, because I need the file as an SVG - but when you have a mask, you still see the whole image when looking at is as an SVG file in another program. The crop is not working on my image - it this because my mask isn't some sort of rectangle?

[@HelenBradley]

Yes it is, and it's because you are using an image rather than vector shapes. Is there a reason you aren't using Photoshop for example?

[@MitchHeil]

This apparently only works with shapes or closed and filled paths but not single line stroked paths?

[@HelenBradley]

You are so right. You really have to be careful with single line stroked paths as they don't work the same as filled shapes. Also, anything with a stoke on it will behave weirdly if it overlaps the edge of the clipping mask.

[@MitchHeil]

@@HelenBradley do you have any suggestions or solutions? I only want single line paths. I do laser cutting and i need the "junk" removed because it just wastes laser time and manually selecting and deleting is time consuming and tedious

[@HelenBradley]

If you select everything and expand it then you should be able to get rid of the 'junk' - basically you would expand lines and stroked paths to all filled shapes. Test that on a duplicate of your file (because it's a one way process!) and see if that works.

Is it possible to invert a clipping mask like in Photoshop?

Not as such. There is a workaround and to do this I would make a shape the size of the artboard and then create a shape to remove from this to leave a shape to use as a clipping mask. Remove the second from the first and use the remainder as a clipping mask. Think of it as like making a donut shape where the donut is the area you want to keep and the hole is the area to hide. Does that help? This video might help too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnrSpaaQiJ6Hibc

[@nacefsofiene4828]

I don't understand the benefit of this video ? because the user ho create the clipping mask has a goal to keep the elements that contain it, otherwise he use the pathfinder from the beginning!

[@HelenBradley]

Actually there are a few situations in which this makes really good sense. One is where you inherit something from somebody else that already has a clipping mask that you don’t want to use and you want to delete everything outside it. You might have created a clipping mask and then change your mind and want to get rid of everything outside it. In addition when you create a pattern using the pattern make tool in Illustrator the pattern swatch itself has a clipping mask. In many instances you may want to take your pattern swatch out of the swatches pallet and remove everything outside the clipping mask so that you have a standalone swatch. I also encounter this situation using a template I built for creating mandalas - the clipping mask is crucial for building the effect but, in many situations, once you’ve designed the mandala you want to get rid of everything outside the clipped area so you can make use of the design elements you have created. If these or any other scenario requires you to crop outside a clipping mask - this video will ensure the result is successful. If you never have to do it, hopefully you learned something else of use from this video anyway!

[@nacefsofiene4828]

Helen Bradley thank you, i agree with you now and apreciate your effort...

[@HelenBradley]

No problems at all, you really made me think about how it might be used - apart from the student questions I have already had on this topic. Now, just in case you're curious (I always am), of the last 10 videos I have launched here on KZbin this one is doing the best in the 1.5 days since launch. It has more viewers than some videos which have been up a week or two. This tells me it will continue to grow an audience faster than is typical for videos on my channel. My guess is that it's a question that a lot of people actually have and that there is no one else out there who has answered it before. It will be interesting to see how much traction it has long term!

It is actually a very, very useful thing to know how to do. I for instance, use clipping masks a lot when I design motifs for seamless patterns. I love using textures in my motifs, but this means that the file size can get very big very fast, as these motifs will end up repeating multiple times inside the pattern swatch. So, when the motif is done, I always delete the content outside of the clipping mask in order to keep the file size reasonable. It makes my life so, so much easier and my my computer much happier.
