    Default Divide Object Below-----Newbie Question

    I have Illustrator 11 for Windows. When I use the Divide Object Below command on a photo I am trying to crop using an elliptical object, NOTHING HAPPENS! When I use the same elliptical object to crop an object I have created, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Can anyone help? Thanks,
    Paul

    If I understand you correctly, what you are trying to do might be better achieved using a clipping mask.

    Timothy is correct. You cannot use the pathfinder stuff on non-vector objects. Clipping mask, yeah, that's the ticket.
