 Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 1:26 pm Post subject: Help! Pasting Live trace from Illustrator to Photoshop |
 |
|
This is about to drive me crazy. I used illustrator to live trace an image and then copy it to photoshop and paste as a shape layer. Usually, it fills in the paths with the foreground color and it's exactly what I want. For some reason, this time though, when i paste as a shape layer, the entire selection becomes the foreground color and when the layer is simplified it's just a big block with the same color as the foreground color. Why is this working on some of my traces and not others? |

Go to illustrator, select your object (the one you live traced) go Object>Live Trace>Tracing Options
There, uncheck the box Ignore White (or something like that) that way the forground color will be white and you can change it (if you want) in Photoshop. |

The ignore white was already unchecked. I don't mind it being the foreground color that is in photoshop though. The real problem is that both the path and the surrounding areas are getting colored the foreground color instead of just the path. |

Mmmm, try checking the layer Mode, you probably have it in Overlay, Saturation or many of the others. It has to be in 'Normal'.
Also, if that isn't it can you post a pic so I can actually see the problem? |
