i can't move a picture in a picture frame in illustrator

[gabriell_2407]

Hi 
I have an ongoing challenge in AI.
The example is that i have two picture frames beside each other containing a picture and a color layer. They are identical (copy pasted). I can move both the pictures and the color layers within the frame just fine. I then relink the picture in one of the picture frames (since you dont need to identicle frames) and when the new picture is linked / visible it is "locked" so that i can move it, like in the picture frame beside it. It does not matter if the picture is jpg, png or other.
Can anyone please help me out here, this is super frustrating.

In Addition.

When I hover over the box where i can adjust the picture, it is visible, which is not the case with the other one....

Can you locate / select the picture in the Layers panel? Can you show the Appearance panel with the picture selected?

Hi Ton

I am not familiar with the layer panel, which is 200 miles long in this doc. 

I can find it in the link panel....

I just tried to copy the picture box / frame and insert it in another file, where the issue disappeared....

When you have the image selected, you can click the magnifying glass in the Layers panel to locate the laye.

Also show the Apperance panel.

Aahh...

You can select the content of the clipping mask group there or use Object > Clipping Mask > Edit Contents.

You may have to double click to isolate elements in the group.

I am not sure if this is the Apperance panel...

Hard to see, next time use the QuickTime Player to record your screen, it will be much sharper than your phone.

Without relevant info, nobody will be able to help you.

Probably someone will need to take a look at the actual file.

[gabriell_2407]

Good to know, and thanks for stating the obvious.

You feel your comment was relevant / contributing to the solution in any way?
