geraldkweee Posted August 5, 2024 Posted August 5, 2024 Hi, recently I just moved to affinity photo 2 after almost a decade with photoshop and one of the biggest problem that keep occuring to me and still can't find the answer for it is the masking feature. In photoshop I can just click the "create clipping mask" button to "insert" the layer above to the below. And in affinity I tried the "mask to below" button and also dragging the layer to the lower layer but it still not working. I can't really describe it with words because my english is not good but I attached some pictures below. Thank you Quote
