freehand-2-illustrator.jpg Masks

This is probably one of my biggest pet peaves with Illustrator: the ability to select hidden/masked items.

Thanks for watching my sub-par videos and for the great comments!

Update - I had to temporarily delete this video. YouTube conversion messed it up. I’ll rerecord and repost soon.

    what happened with the video? The time lapse is so long between takes, that is almost useless.
    Appart from that, I agree with the mask issue, I’m also adapting to Ai, but that gives me such a hard time. I have to hide/lock/deactivate layers to work around what I think is a serious problem.

    I loved your series Illustrator vs Freehand. That’s exactly what I think about Illustrator, especially about Pen tool. I don’t understand how people can draw fast on that app. I think Freehand saves me half of time I’d need on Illustrator, hope I be able to use it for a long time…
