panthermac Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Good Morning, Can I use clipping paths embedded in my images (TIFF) for runaround/text offset in FusionPro? I have a block of text I want to offset based on the clipping path in the image (you know, just like runaround in Quark, ID, etc.), and have the image swapped out based on a database entry (so the clipping path the text will have to follow is variable as well, but will be included in the graphic resource). Or can it only do square boxes at this point? Thanks. - Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Marshall Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Try this: Open the EPS file in Photoshop and highlight the Clipping Path with the Magic Wand. Next, select Help > Export Transparent Image and chose the "I Have Selected The Area To Be Transparent" option In the next step, select that the image will be used for "Print" Then save the file as a Photoshop EPS file (I think that this was the only format this works) In the EPS options, select the Preview to be TIFF 8 bits/pixel and the Encoding to be ASCII85. Leave the other options blank and then you're finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 You can set up transparency in an image as Alex describes, but you can't run text around a non-rectangular box at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
