“How do I crop a Photo in Illustrator?” is the All-Time hottest topic in the Adobe Illustrator Forum, there’s a long thread with answers that go from “not possible”, to “use Photoshop”, to “use clipping masks”, to “use Artboards”.

Please note that the final Block of Text is converted to Outlines.

Illustrator’s Title Case function is…how do we say it nicely?…hmm…it is very straight forward, it capitalizes the first letter of every word. While it works on some scenarios, it simply doesn’t cut it for properly capitalizing titles. Illustrator’s simple Title Case Proper Title Case to use, select a portion of text (referred as text Range) or one or more text Frames before running…
