To release objects from a clipping mask
❖
Do one of the following:
•
Select the group that contains the clipping mask, and choose Object > Clipping Mask > Release.
•
In the Layers palette, click the name of the group or layer that contains the clipping mask. Click the Make/Release
Clipping Masks button at the bottom of the palette, or select Release Clipping Mask from the palette menu.
Because the clipping mask was assigned a fill and stroke value of None, it is now not visible unless you select it or
assign it new paint attributes.

Blending objects
About blends
The Blend tool and Make Blend command let you create a series of intermediate objects and colors between two or
more selected objects. One of the simplest uses for blending is to create and distribute shapes evenly between two
objects. You can also blend between two open paths to create a smooth transition between objects, or you can
combine blends of colors and objects to create color transitions in the shape of a particular object.
Once you create a blend, the blended objects are treated as one object. If you move one of the original objects, or edit
the original object’s anchor points, the blend changes accordingly. In addition, the new objects blended between the
original objects don’t have their own anchor points. You can expand the blend in order to divide the blend into
distinct objects.
