Quick Illustrator Question! =)

[head_shot]

-I have a few layers up on illustrator
-And a path I will use as a clipping mask
-I also have a layer with a blending mode, Overlay

Now, When I use the Path as a clipping mask, the overlay layer is merged as a normal layer, is there any way to keep the blending mode AND clip the images/layers?

Many Thanks ,
Sam

Have you tried to rasterize the overlay image so that it retains the blending mode?

Yes, I think it has something to do with, cliping the layers and fallenting them perhaps, as it has the same effect as flattening layers in photoshop that have a blending mode

I just have no idea how to stop it :icon_cursing:
