Question I'm using a clipping mask to set the boundaries on a grunge effect for a project, but when I use clipping mask or layer mask the same thing occurs. The mask shape is transparent (has no stroke or fill) and the artwork beneath is no longer visible (inside or outside the mask). This happens to me quite often...any ideas?
Answer Hi Jonas,
A clipping mask is dictated by the shape below the image you are trying to clip. Try reorganizing your layers and place the shape to be used for the clipping below - then apply the clipping mask to the image above.
