Affinity Designer Tutorial - Learn Masking and Layer Clipping

Exactly what I'm looking for!

Super helpful! thank you. Do you know if AD lets you fill/fit the object in the child layer proportionally to the parent object? I know I can do this manually but looking to see how I can save time.

Can you do the opposite? Hide what's inside the circle and only show the outside?

Clear and well paced tutorial! Thank you. :)

Wunderbar! Thank you very much!

What if I want to use the mask to create a hole in something?

thanks

Perfect! It was so well explained. Thumb and subscr.!

Awesome thank you! I couldn't figure out how to cut a pixel layer out of my lettering to give it a spray paint look. You did it!

if they add blending shapes and shape tool = i will choose affinity over illustrator.

Vielen Dank. :-)

Thank you.. I now have a better understanding of Layer manipulation

Thank you

That was one of the cleanest explanation of graphic related concept i've ever witnessed

Short key clipping mask..?

Really glad I've found your channel. Good stuff!

Great channel, definitely one or possibly the most useful/helpful channel I have found so far. Thanks for making these awesome videos.

Best explanation. I was already subscribed and I liked the video and I will click the notification bell. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you!!! I was trying to achieve something like this with the booleans and made a digital mess, lol.

Thanks for the tutorial.

How about making inverted mask? Creating hole to the image?, thanks

Sir, your ability to explain things is admirable! You're a born instructor.

Thank you

even the first part clipping inside shape doesnt work, shape just disapears

Honestly the one thing I’ve never full grasped when designing. I’ve always made dodgy work arounds and it’s so damn simple 😩

This channel is highly underrated!

very plain for a newbie like me, nice that you're not speaking too quickly. I have subscribed, thanks

Thank you for this video! I have watched several of your videos and have subscribed. I am new to graphic design and am having trouble with this concept. When would you use clipping over masking?

excellent explanation. Thank u so much.

Instructive, helpful, well-explained.👏👍🌟

Bro jus do affinity designer tutorial's. Great explanation. Is it possible to import a image in affinity and color inside that image without using the brush tool as its a slow way and goes outside boundaries of what I want to color.

and just like that i now know a lot about masking......damn.

interesting that the black brush does not work on a mask like it does in Photoshop.

The first 55 seconds I was thinking "Please don't be painful". Then I instantly bought the software. Awesome!

Very clear thanks 🙏🏻

So in Affinity Designer you cannot use mask shapes. You can use a shape to clip, or create a 'mask' as a gradient opacity mask, but you have to make this two separately.

Thanks so much for this. Do you have a more advanced masking video? I’m trying to mask an image inside a circle with soft edges but not succeeding🤔

So clipping and masking is very similar. Just in reverse if I understand correctly.

Thanks

Finally a tutorial that truly explains this!!

Does the drag to the left and right work in version 2?

Hi, this might be a ver ylate question, but is it possible to have a mask/layer subtract from each other non-destructively,

like in the example, that the square would be subtracted from the circle, being transparent in that case.
I have seen the other examples, but not yet any of how to accomplish this, without using the "subtract" tool to directly subtract shapes/vectors from each other.

This doesn't work anymore

Best explanation of clipping and masking in AD. Thanks!!

Really helpful. Thank you for making this
