Solved: Can I combine two (non-onverlapping) masks, without pixel conversion?

Hi

I guess this is possible somehow, but I cannot figure it out.

I have a text object and a rectangle object around it (  [ Hello ] ). Both together should be a mask for an underlying image (so that the text is "written in image").

When I simply add both objects as masks to the image layer, the result is empty (only overlapping masks would let the image through).

Tried many things, no joy. I could convert the masks to a pixel layer, but I want to fine-tune it later, change the font etc.

Is there any way to set it up so that if mask1 OR mask2 is white, the image area is visible?

Thanks a lot

It's magic. Try for 2 hours, finally ask for help, 2 minutes later I figure it out...

Solution: put both mask objects in a group, make the group a *clipping* mask.
