Image, Punch Through


Kaula

Recommended Posts

I'm having alot of trouble with this, for something that probably has a simple solution.

 

What I'm trying to do is make it so that this image:

Is cropped into this shape:

Which I thought I could do with firworks mx, doing a punch through. this works when i have two vector graphics, but not when i have an image and a vector graphic.

 

Does anyone know either a way to convert an image into a vector graphic or to crop that image into the shape i want?

 

I have fireworks mx 2004 and access to adobe cs2

 

thanks!

Well, I probably did it the long way but here it is:

 

I use Photoshop

 

I resize the image to the size of the vector image.

In the vector I used the magic wand to select the shape,

Then I dragged and dropped the selection onto the image.

Next I did SELECT INVERSE,

Then I just hit delete (make sure your background color is white).

 

That's the way I did it. Let me know if you need further clarifacation.

 

P.S.

How many do you have? If it's not too many and you can't do it let me know
