By Coleen Torres


Photoshop allows you create hundreds of designs using their applications. In case you want to hide unwanted parts of a layer, you can use the clipping mask download to do so. It also provides various other features.

The covering encloses the whole or part of the object in a defined shape. Any image layer can be changed to a clipped image, which takes on the dimension and shape of the layer beneath it. This is called the base layer. The unwanted parts of the layer are removed or omitted from view using the mask.

This mask/cover simply uses the contents of a layer to decide which portion is to be viewed or omitted. Initially, it may appear a bit confusing compared to Photoshop layer masks. However, once you get hands-on experience with it, you will realize just how easy it is. It is definitely faster and easier than using layer masks.

Once the circular image is developed, you may want to change the shape. You don't have to repeat the process of creating layers, generating shape and transferring, or clipping image over again. With the clipping mask, it is not necessary.

Basically, these steps involve creating the content layer and base layer. You give shape to the base layer and then clip the image. Once the two layers are generated, you just hold the Alt/Option button and click the dividing line between the two layers.

The cursor immediately changes to a pointing arrow to the left of the content layer, and tow the circles like in a Venn diagram. Just click the mouse and your job is done. Your photo or content layer will be clipped to the shape of the base layer. A right-angled downward arrow next to the clipped layer will denote this.

You may also select some shape or background such as a photo frame, a wall with a window, etc. You can place your object in the image inside this photo frame or window opening. It adds new dimensions to your image.
