Everytime I try a different part of the pathfinder tool, I receive this message…

“pathfinder effects should usually be applied to groups, layers or type objects.This may not have any effect on the current selection.”

[I had opened a new document. created a box. then created a star over it.]

Anyone know anything about this?

Your tutorials are wonder. I have absolutely NO experience with illustrator or inkscape and in the past 30 min (with your help) I have been able to trace a grunge texture from my own stone photo, as well as use the pathfinder tools in Illustrator. This is so much better than super expensive books that end up being outdated before you even get them home :)

I really wish you could explain creating a few complex shapes using both the top and bottom buttons in the pathfinder pallette. A few examples of how to divide paths would be very useful for me as I can never seem to get it to work.

Does pathfinder work with an image? I have a photo that I want to eliminate the background from…is there any way to do this using Illustrator?

That was such a great help. So easy once you know about the expand button. Doh!
