duke22 Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I'm trying now for 30 mins to place an image in a shape so I can resize two images in a document and show them next to each other however, every time I drag the image on the mask, the image disappears? I tried with a PNG and JPG and always same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated CleanShot 2023-01-21 at 09-Low-32k.mp4 Quote
loukash Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 By dragging the image onto the layer icon, you are masking the red shape with your image. The image will become an alpha channel mask. Since the image opaque, nothing will happen to the red shape while the image seemingly "disappears". If you want to place the image inside the red shape, then you have to drag it onto its name in the Layers panel. That's called clipping. If you drag and don't let go, on canvas you well see a live preview of what will happen. Press Esc to abort. Like that you can practice the Layers panel gestures. It can take some time to get used to this workflow. duke22 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2
