Many thanks for the response and for the information - it's much appreciated.

[Mask question/help]

Hello,

 

I'm fairly new to graphics work so please forgive me if this seems simple.

 

I'm trying to replicate the layer mask effect I can achieve in gimp. I'm currently using the last beta version of Affinity Designer and I'm keen to purchase it.

 

I've attached an image to explain, across the top is a logo, some wood panels and a b&w mask version of the wood. I would like to mask out the logo where there is black on the mask - to achive an old/worn look. Along the bottom is the logo with transparent areas, the finished effect, and the layer manager in gimp.

 

Is this possible in Affinity Designer, and if so, how can it be achieved? I've spent WAY too much time trying!

 

Many thanks,

Adam

 

 

[Multiple Masks?]

Hi,

 

Can you please explain how you achieved this? I'm trying to do the same thing and the mask layer doesn't seem to do anything no matter where I put it.

 

I have 3 images each on it's own layer. One is a logo, one is a wooden fence, one is the wooden fence desaturated and the black/whites exagerrated.

 

I want the logo to turn transparent where the black is - so the orignal fence will show through.

I'd be grateful for any help because I've spent over an hour trying to achieve this!

 

Many thanks,

Adam
