Hi
“artboard clipping” appears to be only for GIF’s, JPEG’s, PNG8 & PNG24 files, it doesn’t show up in the allowed export options for Photoshop, so this needs to be eliminated.
Try the below which does what your wanting less the above
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
tell document 1
activate
set bndz to visible bounds of path item 1 of group item 1 of layer 1
set artboard rectangle of artboard 1 to bndz
set dpi to 150 as text
set newFilePath to (path to desktop folder) & "my_masked_image.psd" as string
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
export current document to file newFilePath as Photoshop ¬
with options {class:Photoshop export options ¬
, color space:RGB ¬
, embed ICC profile:true ¬
, resolution:dpi, warnings:false ¬
, artboard range:1 - 1}
end tell
end tell
end tell
Ah! I see Budgie, I should have checked the manual on that. Thanks
However the problem I have is the mask area is generally smaller than the image & I need the art-board clipping option in order to crop the image and bring it back in AI to make for smaller file sizes.
