rudyp16 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Can someone walk me through taking this photo and creating a mask from it, please. I'm so confused. Basically, want to create masks from various black and white images. Mask2 is the desired effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudyp16 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I've created a layer mask and mask using the shapes however, that was not my question. Can you take that B&W jpeg and make it a mask ?? If so, how?? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Invert that B&W layer Right click on it and select Rasterise to Mask To make it a clipping mask : - drag it over the image layer thumbnail until you see a small vertical bleu bar, and release - or right click and select Mask to below Quote Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudyp16 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm definitely not getting it. It looks so simple. I open my picture and see it as a layer in the layers panel. I then open my b&w photo and it replaces my photo in the layers panel??? So weird. I already inverted the image and saved it as a jpeg.I don't see the photo at all. It was replaced by the B&W photo. It should have shown what you have, the tiger and the mask unter it. Confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Place the mask image to tiger image and set the layers set up as presented above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like in the video you can copy the b&w layer in its document window or tab & paste it into the document where you want to use it as a mask. You can copy any selected layer or layers (including Group, Adjustment, & Live Filter layers) in any open Affinity document & paste that into any other open Affinity document, including into a different Affinity app if you own more than one of them. In fact, people that own only Designer can download Affinity Photo files (.afphoto documents) from the forum that include layers that only Photo can create, open them in Designer, & copy those layers into their own Affinity Designer (.afdesign) documents. Once you understand how to use it, you should see that it is a very useful feature with many different applications.
