Bynah Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Members 12 52 posts Posted 8 minutes ago HI WALT, I am having a terrible time trying to fill my own shape with an image. Can you please help me as you have so many times before? The first picture is the fill and the shape. the second is when I drag the shape to the right of the thumbnail in the image. It only fills the outline. But I want the outline black and the filling inside it honeycomb. I have tried many things and wasted a lot of time looking at videos. But when I apply what I watch, it doesn't work. thank you in advance, Bynah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I’m not Walt (obviously!) but you seem to be dragging the word bubble layer in the Layers panel and dropping it onto — or immediately to the right of — the thumbnail of the honeycomb image. You need to drag the honeycomb layer below and to the right of the word bubble thumbnail, dropping it when you see a thick blue horizontal line extending to the right of the thumbnail.

I can't get that to work, either. Should it work with two Image layers? Or even two Pixel layers?

Bynah Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I tried it with them both as pixel layers and also one of each as pixel and image layers. maybe a glitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duplicate your Word Bubble, make one of them a solid colour, outline and inside can be different. walt.farrell 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

mmahmoodh Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just now, Old Bruce said: Duplicate your Word Bubble, make one of them a solid colour, outline and inside can be different. Yup, this is the only method that seems to work for pixel layers and images. You need to have a fill if you want the image or anything you are placing inside the object to be visible, otherwise you will see the image only on the outlines.

Ron P. Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) With the word bubble above your honeycomb and bees, Right-click on the word bubble, select Mask to Below. You should also be able to drag the word bubble down, and to the right of the honeycomb, wait until you get a Blue Vertical Bar then drop it. 2021-08-19 21-16-12.mp4 Edited August 20, 2021 by Ron P.
