I would like to look at it, too. I'm an Illustrator *expert*.  :shocked:

Joe,
How can I post a link to a file on b4print? Or should I just let you log into my ftp?

Upload file to SendSpace, or similar. When it's uploaded, right click>'Copy Link Location'.   Paste link here in a post.

You can also use the buttons in the screenshot, too, I think. 'Insert Hyperlink' being one.

you have a weird grouping going on.
Select the image, go to your layers (hide all but the one) see where the image in on the layer, open the flyout and select the image name (woman pointing), click on the little circle to the right to actually select the image, then un-group to get the image out of the mask.
There is a colored box on top of the image, move that aside to get to the image.

I wasn't able to ungroup it. When I pasted into Photoshop it's like there's a path, but there's not. And a transparent bg.

you have to select the image in the layers pallet, other wise you're clicking on the wrong object.

I did. Ungroup is not an option, AFAICS.

I see what you're saying about ungrouping it... but then once the art is moved where I need it, I can't use the existing art to remask it. I can't move it without recropping to the stationary mask, and once ungrouped, I lose the mask.


Don't worry about the colored transparency overlay - I'm aware of it and it's a non-issue.

It's already completed, plated and printed. The folds were just a hair off. I had to move everything over a tad.


In space terms, that's half a million miles.
