Make a clipping mask in Pixelmator Pro on iPad
A clipping mask connects (“clips”) two layers together, forming a group of layers called a clipping set. In a clipping set, the bottom layer (also called the base layer) sets the boundaries for the group. Any parts of the upper layer that go beyond the edges of the bottom layer are hidden (masked). The parts of the image within the mask are visible within the unmasked parts of the image. This is useful for cropping an image inside of text.
Add a clipping mask
In Pixelmator Pro on iPad, select a layer in the Layers sidebar to use as a base layer, then drag it below one or more layers in the Layers sidebar.
Touch and hold the layer on top of the base layer, then choose Create Clipping Mask.
A clipping mask set is created with the two layers. Only areas of the top layer that overlap the bottom layer are visible.
Release a clipping mask
After you create a clipping set, you can easily break it apart.
In Pixelmator Pro on iPad, touch and hold a clipping mask layer, then choose Release Clipping Mask.
