nelp using a vector shape to confine a raster image


Recommended Posts

I have a template I made in vector. Now I want to add some jpg and png pics to fit.

I have the vector shape (a simple circle in this example) selected but how to I delete the overhang on the pixel layer?

I inverted the selection but still couldn't seem to delete the overhang. I did finally get the eraser brush to work but not cleanly. It left a very uneven edge and I need it cleanly chopped off.

 

End result will be similar to this. The vector layer will become the svg which will be converted to work with the cutter.

Nest the .jpg layer in the vector. Select the image layer and drag it to the vector layer just to the right of the vector thumbnail. A horizontal bar will appear showing that it will become a "child' of the vector. It will then be clipped by the vector edge.
