![]() Merge removes all overlapping areas (i.e. ![]() Unite creates 1 shape, making everything visually the same, regardless of their current fill color. ![]() The difference between Trim and Merge is really only seen when objects have the same fill color and touch one another: Resulting in only the visible portions of the artwork being retained. This means the black rectangle which is underneath the red, and can't be seen, will be removed after performing a Trim or Merge operation. Both Trim and Merge will remove the underlying shapes. More complex art would show that Trim restricts operations to the shape's visible boundaries regardless of color similarities where as Merge combines all visually similar, touching, shapes (similar to the Unite command).The only two which are similar are Trim and Merge and they are merely similar because the base art was so simple. I then added a green/yellow stroke after the pathfinder operation so you can see edges better.Īs you'll notice each operation results in different artwork. I started with the red circle and black rectangle. When exploring things like this it is best to use very rudimentary objects so you can see the differences.
