Great video, question. Novice here! When I move the element into InDesign and try to resize it causes me problems, how can I fix this? It's as if when I resize it the mask cuts off the image? Anyone know how to fix this? I can resize it in Illustrator then bring it into InDesign, but that's not very accurate is the problem. Thanks!
The possibilities this unlocks…. Amazing
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
