Overlaying one image on another with transparency


Recommended Posts

Hi-

I am trialing the windows client, and I am trying to work out how to create a layered image, with an upper layer only showing up on certain parts of the lower image.  Say I have a transparent lower image with nothing in it except a circle in the middle.  I would like to add a new image on top, and only have the new image appear in that circle region, even if the image fills the whole canvas, if that makes sense? I am not a designer and I dont know what to call these things, apologies.

Thanks for any  advice,

mf

Welcome @Mettafort,

I seems like it would be better to clip the image to the circle. There's a difference between Masking and Clipping. See the following tutorial,

Clipping vs Masking
