Hi gang, looking for a quick tip here.

I have a graphic in Photoshop that consists of an opaque white square with a dark border, then some painted objects on top of the white square, but they overlap the edges of the square, sticking out into the transparent background.

When I use the Export Transparent Image wizard, the extending objects get truncated, so I have only the box and whatever was within its limits.

When I open the PSD in Illustrator and try to create the EPS there, the entire bounding box becomes opaque.

So what I'm looking for is a way to generate a clipping path (in Illustrator, I assume) that gets rid of the background but preserves the extending images.

This is for a PageMaker pub, so I can't use EPS transparency; I am restricted to using a clipping path.

Any idea how to make this happen? I'm stumped.

Dick
