Getting "Skewed" by Photoshop 7

Hey, gang!
I spent several days working on a christmas graphic - the final touch being to skew the picture in order to show "inertia" acting on the item.
When i tried to transport the graphic into Quark as a tif, I *lost* random "chunks" of the graphic. There seems to be no order as to what "came through" to Quark and what did not.
I went over each individual Photoshop step that i'd used in creating the graphic: paint bucket, etc. -- made sure all the layers had been properly flattened, were in the right color mode -
Again, I can't determine *where* the information is being lost between Photoshop and Quark. The graphic with the *skew* looks great in Photoshop, but after I bring it into Quark, various pieces of it are simply *gone*!
Any ideas?? Thanks!!!
 
It's probably a problem with Quark, not Photoshop! Select the picture box in Quark, choose Item > Modify. In the Modify tab, make sure the picture box background is not set to none. Then go to the 'Clipping' tab and make sure the type is set to Item.

There are probably paths being used in your Photoshop file, and sometimes Quark gets confused!
 
Thank you!!! You were dead-on accurate. It *was* the clipping path in Quark!! (which, of course, had never dawned on me.) Again, thanks a million - is there someplace i can send brownies? :eek:) :eek:)
