Create A Clipping Mask with Affinity Designer

- Clipping masks add versatility to your vector design work, and for a variety of reasons. They allow you to fill an object with a photo, and they also allow you to make unique shapes in a non-destructive way. Upon first sight, it may appear that Affinity Designer lacks the ability to create clipping masks (also known as clipping paths,) but it doesn't. In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how you can make a clipping mask with Affinity Designer using just a single click.

I just bought Affinity Designer to make this Clipping mask :)
Thanks for making that simple. Until now I had no idea that shapes could be added to a clipping mask like that. One great "simplification" at a time is great for me.
Great Video, id love to see more Affinity Designer tutorials! Blessings!!
Thank you for your time and effort you put in making these great educational videos. Very helpful
I always loved your videos. Very professional and you explain thi gs really well. Youre the reason i know vector graphics and photo editing in the first place.
Thank you and keep up the good job!
Thank you Andrey, glad I could help.
Awesome video! Just learning Affinity had no idea about the scroll wheel hand tool trick which will be very helpful. Thank you!
Exactly what I had been looking for. Thank you!
Loved this video. Quick with no fluff so I can learn quick and move forward. Thanks so muc. New Sub for sure.!
A slight clarification (it's not apparent in the video), when you drag the image up a layer into the shape, make sure to move it to the right as well, like an indent.
Very helpful, thank you!
Amazing! just what I needed.
I just had so much to laugh about😂 Starting of with the way of text-spacing and the clicking of your keyboard😂 Probably a early ‘90s one?
Good stuff, as always. Thanks! 👍
Aaah, so it's Sketch rules. Got ya, thanks!
nicely explained! thank you. I'm trying to put text across a picture of a face, but I would like the text to change color when it is on the face. according to the exact border of the face.
Brilliant, thank you!
awesome video, thanks!
Thank you well explained
Excellent vid 🎉
Great vid for text! How would you do it for an object? Or better still a combination of text and objects with one singular raster image overlay?
Adobe illustrator must see this!
Can you do this is Affinity Photo? I tried and my curve only had the text outline, not the shapes.
Helpfully! 😎👍
Is this how you put image in the 3 tumbler mock-up to show a entire design ?
So how i remove the blue background
Wow, thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing
I wish they’d make it easy to mask just like in affinity photo
Which software are you using
Goodshit man
.
Hello, i am having trouble with getting the clipping mask. Everything i move the image into the text layer the image visability is zero and i cant see it displayed like in your video. Any help will be appreciated.
i figured out what was wrong. In your video you dragged the image layer into the text. However that doesn't work. It worked when i dragged the text layer into the image layer .
@@chomspody123 Same here. Doesn't work unless doing it backwards for me too. Mac M1
Can you do this also in illustrator?
Yup. I have a tutorial about it on this channel.
😲 wow
hello greetings from turkey I don't understand English very well, can you add Turkish subtitle option? You have a lot of Turkish followers.🙏🙏🙏
Thats amazing! Can I do this with Affinity photo?
Yes, it functions the same way.
wow that was too simple bruh at first you got my brain navigating to mars now its down in the ocean for how dumb i was XD
so neat! i wish photoshop could do this, or it can and I don't know how lol
Photoshop definitely can. Photoshop basically can do like, everything you can think of. You place the mask layer above the object/layer to be masked, then you place your cursor right between the two layers, hold the alt key and click. Instant masked object. Photoshop also has a button at the bottom of the layer panel for masking. Photoshop has multiple ways of masking.
GOOD BUT THE COMPUTER WORD IS VERY SMALL I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
The video is great. But you don’t have to destroy the text. Just put all clipping mask objects in a group.
First like and comment maybe 😎
So much easier to do here in Affinity Designer than in Adobe Illustrator.
It is!
I find it much easier and much faster to mask in Illustrator actually. Having to deal with layers and tediously dragging one object under another is slow. It's not horrible but in Illustrator you just select two objects and hit a keyboard shortcut. Its hard to get faster than that other than using some automation.
Gosh, I really wanted to learn this but it was way over my head. I'm so disappointed. I'm new to masking and I need to fill a hand drawn shape with a pattern. I was trying to follow you but once you start using the shortcut key without further explanation, I just couldn't keep up. Would love to know how the clipping mask works and where the menu "buttons" are so that I can learn what they mean. Then I can skip ahead to using shortcuts. 🥹
