Masking image in Indesign

hi there,

 

i searched web masking object in id, way found seems bit odd, feel there has other, elegant way... additional info: package socks.

 

 

what have:
plain imported psd: paper texture.

 

img 01

 

shape of final cut area in ai format:

 

img 02

 

what want:

i need mask imported file following shape have in ai-file. result should this:

 

img 03

 

so realized, way group texture , vector shape, put shape abowe texture, turn opacity of shape 0% , apply knockout effect on entire group. result looks vector shape determines, rexture not visible. miss there invert option.

the solution found disgusting recipe:

 

1} go illustrator, set fill of object none , outer outline 500 pt:

 

img 05

 

2} had precisely adjust bounding frame of paper texture psd prevent overflow.

 

3} result looks img 03, spent lots more time on masking comparing ps or ai , way got there seems bit odd me. "solution" can see on img 05

 

 

thanks comments in advance guys. hope elegant solution!

 

bye

cut image, select path, use "paste inside". couldn't more straightforward, actually.
