: Invisible Vector Causing Issues with Copy Paste Between Illustrator and Photoshop? I got this vector from an EPS online: File: Weird Badge Vector It came as a set of two, black and white.

@Radia289

If you open the file in illustrator and press CMD + Y you'll notice the extra stuff masked out in the file.


Open file and select the following:


Black background (shadow is a drop shadow effect)
Google Play mark sections
"Get it on"
Google Play verbiage

Cut CMD + X
Select All CMD + A
Delete
Paste in Front CMD + F
Save


This will remove the cruft. You can skip all steps after 1. and place it in PS as a smart object or you can follow all the steps to maintain the eps/ai.

Open the file in Illustrator.

If using Illustrator CS6 you will need to release the clipping mask.

Select the object and right click -> Release Clipping Mask. Select clipping mask and delete.



For some reason the clipping mask didn't show up in Illustrator CC. I am not sure why...
