    Default Outlines!

    I placed a tiff file and I want to edit the edges of the tiff file by "direct selection tool". I can't do it. How can I change it to outlines?

    Thanks

    Default Re: Outlines!

    Dis,

    You said it. You "can't" using Selection tool. Most TIFF or any raster image work should be done in PhotoShop prior to Placing into Illustrator, but you CAN apply a Clipping Mask by outlining the area you wish to "crop" with an outline (rectangle usually), then with this path over the image, multi-select both path and image (marquee or Shift Click each), then Object, Clipping Mask, Make (Control 7).
