Blend clipped image in Illustrator CS5


Looking to try and fade out an image in illustrator using the blend tool.



At first, I tried blending 2 clipping groups, but I knew that wasn't going to work.


Then I tried blending just the linked image, but that wasn't working either.


Is there anyway to blend a clipping mask so that an image can fade out on the edges?



Answer



Let me know of this is not what you're talking about


Place your image.


base image


Make the shape that will be the clipping mask over the image you want to be clipped. I added a gradient to the circle and made the black end 0% opacity.


clipping mask


Select both objects. Go to transparency options and select "create mask" and clip. Your options might be different depending on how you have your document setup.
