Mixxie Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Is there a simple way to create a mask in Affinity Photo so that the background is dropped out when it is imported into a page layout program? This is the equivalent of eps mask in Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Welcome to the forum @Mixxie Which page layout app are you using? In the page layout app, do you want the text to follow the contour of the shape? Masks can be created in several ways, by selection, using the pen tool or simply erasing the background. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Layers/LayerMasks.html https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/LayerOperations/clipping.html Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Mixxie Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thank you for your reply. I use InDesign as a page layout app, and yes, I want the texte to wrap around the image. I haven't tried the links yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixxie Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 When I try the two methods (dragging my pen-drawn vector shape in the layers panel onto the layer I want to crop) everything disappears on the page except the vector shape. What do I do next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
