Hello!

I want to mask hypsometrical tints with a glacier mask without masking the shadow relief. The layers are like this:
- glacier mask
- hypsometrical tints
- relief (TIFF)

Any solutions? I'm still using v.10. I know that in CS2 you may set raster files as "overprint" and place the relief on top.

Thanks!

Try to make a new TIFF in Photoshop which consists of the hypsometric tints, the mask and the relief, all in a single image.

Dear Hans,
Thanks for it. I will do this in the worst case only. This is, in german words "ein gebastel" (to tink). I see that Illustrator is not yet ready for high cartographical art! Will see that at least I can upgrade to CS2.

Markus, I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do - but Illy CS2 is definately ready for cartographic work. I don't know about Illy 10 - I got on board on the Adobe train not too long ago.

If the glacier mask is a path, or compound path, in CS2 you can just add it as an opacity mask to the hysometric tint layer (which I assume are paths as well?)
