In this tutorial you will learn how to use Clipping Masks with photos and text. The photo then takes the shape of the text non-destructively. These masks can be something like a photo clipped to a text layer. Thanks to the ingenuity of this app, creating a clipping mask with Affinity Photo for the iPad couldn’t possibly be easier. Clipping Masks in Affinity Designer are clipped to the boundaries of the parent layer. Its better for the blue line to show in the middle of the layer to indicate a clipping mask is being performed. They Serif team did an excellent job creating a functional image editing app that works in a mobile environment. The iPad version of Affinity Photo is nothing short of impressive. If you want to resize the canvas to fit the image, check out my tutorial for doing so here. And if you want to release the clipping mask then all you have to do is move the image layer out of the layer group, by tapping and dragging, to place it on its own layer again. You can now select between the mask and the masked layer to transform them as needed. Holding a tap over the question mark icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen will temporarily place indicator labels over all of the tools. Once placed, your layer will be combined with the layer you placed it on to create a clipping mask: How the clipping mask looks once applied. In Affinity Designer for the iPad, the Pen Tool is located halfway down the toolbox menu on the left-hand side of the screen: The Pen Tool can be accessed in the toolbox. In order to create a clipping mask with Affinity Photo for the iPad, all you have to do now is open your Layers menu, hold a tap over the image layer, then drag it on top of the layer that contains the shape/object you’d like to use as a mask: Placing the image layer over the shape layer will create a clipping mask, as indicated by the blue stripe going through the center of the layer. Step 3: Move the photo layer on top of the mask layer to create a clipping mask Go ahead and scale and position your photo as needed, until you have it placed directly where you’d like to clip your image. A darker, thicker line with Gaussian Blur at the bottom layer blend mode set to. Let’s add some shading with a darker and a lighter curve. Use the curve as a clipping mask for the two lines. Layer/ Expand Stroke to turn it into a curve. 2 Masking and Clipping Affinity Designer provides both vector- and pixel-based. Affinity Designer calls them ‘vector brushes’ but are no true vector shape. Notice how I gave the shape a color that contrasts nicely with the photo, and I reduced the opacity so that I can see where it lines up with the photo as I’m positioning it. The clipping mask in Affinity Designer doesnt work with vector shapes. This can be a shape, a text object, a path that you’ve drawn, or even another raster image, such as a PNG.įor this demonstration I will be using the following heart shape: Now we’re going to create the object that we’ll be using as the mask. Step 2: Place the object that you’d like to use as your mask on its own layer
