Thanks I was actually trying to learn the use if clipping masks in Illustrator and now this tutorial helped me out at the right time .

[jcpena]

Wow! This tutorial is so good and so helpful. You make it seem so easy and one thing I have to say is that your explanations are short and so very easy to understand, rather than other ones I've seen, the tutorial is so long, to the point that at the end you don't even fully understand anything. Thanks so much for your efforts and your time.

I'm really good at using Clipping mask on Photoshop, but have no idea how to use it in Illustrator. A struggle of a graphic illustrator who moves to graphic design (for work). This saves me. Thanks.

Turning the shapes into a compound mask really helped me because lately i have been trying to figure out why my clipping mask is not working when i click shift and self the image and the shape...Thank you for the quick tip

[rebeckahdalton]

Thank you so Option 3 worked a treat and I searched for ever to find a tutorial on it!

[axfanben]

The Compound Path tip helped me a lot, thanks!

[spiiike]

The last clipping mask trick i think you can only used that for final rendering of your work because when you activated the clipping mask with both object you selected it will only combine the two and you cannot move every object you want to. Btw this tutorial is very helpful for beginners like me and i will apply it in every work im doing.

[sander_pinto]
