So you should now see something like this, with your rectangle perfectly aligned to the art board, everything selected, and the rectangle on the very top. Now, with your rectangle selected, click on these 2 buttons on the Align palette (in any order) to align your shape exactly to the art board.įirst make sure that nothing is locked by either looking in your Layers palette, going to Object > Unlock All, or the shortcut: Option + Command + 2 (Mac) Not sure about PC, commentators? Then do a “Select All” (Command/Control + A, Select > All) or select everything with your mouse. CS2 and previous users: you'll find the “Align to Art board” option by clicking on the palette options (the little arrow in the upper right corner of the palette). To do this, open the Align Palette (Window > Align) and make sure “Align to Art board” is checked. Now you need to align the rectangle exactly to the art board. With the new layer active (as indicated by the light blue in my Layers panel), use File > Place to add the photograph to your Illustrator file. Note: If you have more than one layer, this shape must be in the top most layer, and on top of all other shapes. To crop a photo in Illustrator: Create a new layer for the photo by clicking Create New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel. You can do this (with the rectangle selected) by hitting Command/Control + Shift + ], or Right Click on your rectangle and choose Arrange > Bring to Front. You need to make sure your rectangle is on top of everything else. With the Rectangle Tool, click once on the art board to bring up the options, and type in the exact same dimensions as your Illustrator document size to create a rectangle that will match your art board.
