Chavez967 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 MY QUESTION In Photoshop, I was able to cut out one shape from another using the Layer Mask and Hide Mask feature. This would have made the portion that was cut out transparent. I'm not sure how to do this in Affinity Photo (Mac or iOS) or Designer (iOS). In the attached photo, I'm trying to remove the highlighted dashed circle from the black circle behind it, but I have been unsuccessful in figuring it out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

So, thanks to your post I could get this to work on Photo. I tried this on Designer but couldn’t get it to work? Am I missing something?

v_kyr Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Should work for Designer equally, at least the desktop versions. Try that Designer file of the shapes PixelPest made ... zahnring.afdesign I think we forgotten to tell how to easily remove instead the inner circle of your initial bitmap/raster drawing in APhoto here. There are several possibilities, like using the eraser tool, but the easiest would probably be to make a circle/elliptic selection around the inner circle part and then just press the delete button. Afterwards hide the selection (Cmd-D on Macs, Ctrl-D on Win).

v_kyr Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I know, I just was joking since you wrote instead "Gravit Designer"!
