Question
Hi,

Can a photo be cut into two parts. Using illustrator CS2. Using PC.


Thank you

Brian

Answer
Sorry Brian,

In Illustrator you can mask out 1/2 of the photo at a time. Duplicate the image so you have two copies. Create a rectangle over one photo, then select both the rectangle and that image. Go to object>create clipping mask. It will hide 1/2 of the photo. Repeat the process for the other side.

Thanks

Kevin
