Daddywx Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I need some help please. ‘There’s a type of photo I do that requires me to insert a photo on top of another photo. ‘I do it in Photoshop and need to convert the workflow to affinity on iPad. ‘’I’ve figured out how to do everything but how to bring the top picture in as an oval. I’m sure it’s probably a simple thing but I’m just not getting it. ‘I’ll attach a sample of what I need to do. ‘I’d really appreciate some help.

Alfred Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Place the additional picture on top of the main picture and cover it with an ellipse. In the Layers Studio, drag the ellipse layer and drop it onto the thumbnail of the picture layer to crop it to that shape. Add a 3D effect if you want it to look like the ellipse in your screenshot.

Alfred, can you edit that shape AFTER that ‘crop’/mask of the shape has been applied to the image, if so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can edit a masked image any time. Select the mask layer in Layer Studio) and use paint brush to paint with black or white colour onto the mask. I’m not sure that Alfred referred to masking the inserted image though. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Or if (as in this case) you’re masking with a parametric shape, you can ‘Convert to Curves’ and then tweak the nodes with the Node Tool. 17 minutes ago, DM1 said: I’m not sure that Alfred referred to masking the inserted image though. I referred to cropping rather than masking, but it’s the same thing in this scenario.
