Mithferion Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Hi! I didn't find anything like this so I ask you guys. Using Inkscape I can crop ("clip" as it's called) a raster image using any vector shape The way to do this is putting the shape above the raster image, select both, go Object > Clip > Set; the result is a raster image like the following example in the attached PNG. That's the way I put some texture or anything in certain shapes. Is there a way to do something like that? If that's not the case, sounds reasonable as a Feature request?

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2016 Staff Posted December 3, 2016 Hi Mithferion, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Drag the image/texture layer over the shape layer you want to use as a clipping layer in the Layers panel (over the area on the right, not over its thumbnail). Another way is to copy the image/texture, then select the shape and go to menu Edit ▸ Paste Inside. sonification and saraheagle 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Please see the attached screenshot, where I've cropped/clipped a photo from Pixabay to a blue cloud shape.

agalberto Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 HI, i've noticed that pasting an object/image inside a shape doesn't let me modify the shape, you can only move the object inside. if you try to modify the shape it distorts the img/object inside, or you have to convert it to curves and you can only select the corners and move them. Only the mask can be modified by dragging the shape like. why? it's much easier the paste inside command shorcut rather than dragging the shape near the image on a layer! :-) ThanksGreat software by the way, (I'm switching from fireworks! Damn, Adobe) Alberto Quote
Staff MEB Posted January 10, 2017 Staff Posted January 10, 2017 Hi Alberto, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Go to the context toolbar and tick Lock Children (Move Tool), so you can edit the parent layer without affecting its contents. saraheagle 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

It results in a white frame. Affinity Designer Mac 1.10.1 Quote
Megnusin Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 This is inconvenient when working with rotated shapes that you would like to resize afterwards. Isn't there a way to do it destructively? Quote
