I am new to illustrator-ugggg.

1) I am trying to figure out how to have my image appear within the inner circle?

2) Also how do I remove the excess image from outside the outer circle?

It funny because I can do this all day long within Photoshop, but Illustrator is a much different animal for sure.

If someone can explain how I can achieve this I would be grateful.  It is hard learning something new for sure.

Thanks in advance.

I looked at your file to see what you were working with. You've got the white circle, the blue circle (I wanted to check if it was a separate shape or a stroke for the white circle), and the image. Select the white circle and the image and go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make. That will clip the image to the size of the white circle. Then align the centers of the blue circle and the clipped image.

    oh my!!!!!  That was too simple.  I was trying to use pathfinder.

    That is kind of like Photoshop, I can relate to what you just did.

    Thanks you very much, learned something.
