Some noobish questions

[jorgesarcos]

Hello everyone! i have two questions that might be obvious but since im new to AD maybe im just in the wrong mindset to find the answers to:

 

1. I mask an image and everything looks good, however when i try to move the image the mask moves with it, and i cant find a way to stop this unless i undo and mask again, release seems to be something completely different than in the Adobe suite (release the mask and the image, going to the previous state)  since  when i release the mask in AD the result is still masked and the layers in the panel make a change i still cant recognize so... how do i move a masked image without moving the mask itself? or move the image inside the mask?

 

2. I design apps in Sketch, and when designing Android/iOS apps i always go for the minimum resolution (i though this was the norm) so some of the worst case scenarios are worked out from the beginning, but when i create an artboard for Android on AD theres only the Nexus options, is there no 320x640 or closer template? if i create my mockups on this Nexus dimensions (im assuming they are closer to 2x or 3x) are my slices marked  to export at 1x going to be on something compatible with the minimum resolution (mdpi) or its the 1x taking into consideration the base artboard size which is closer to xhdpi?

 

3. im aware that i am able to change the base template size to fit my project, maybe even save it as a template to fix this lack of mdpi densities in the future, but AD promotes its use for UX/UI shouldnt more densities be covered instead of this 3 Nexus dimensions?

1. See here Clipping vs Masking it's the same for AD

2. Predefined there is only that Nexus higher resolution size, thus define your own fitting Artboard size here. For exporting give it a try and look what resolution and sizes 1x 2x 3x then generates for some test run with your custom Artboard size. - Also take a look at the video tutorials here, especially those who deal about Artboards and Exporting.

3. Maybe, though there are a bunch of devices with different screen sizes and resolutions, so that predefined template device list would probably get huge. However IMO it's always best to make your own custom templates here, so you are more secure and sure they are the way you individual need them.
