  1. how to release the image???

  2. thanks !

  3. can I do that with text/fonts?

  4. This video is great! The content is informative and the visuals are well-made. I enjoyed watching it and look forward to more from this channel.

  5. 🙂Just what I need to know, thank you!

  6. You lost me at "we can cut an image (and paste into shape)" – cut how and image from where? seems like the wrong word choice. You mean "find" or "select" an image?

  7. Can you clip using another image??

  8. Thanks Good

  9. Thank you!!

  10. thank youu 🙏

  11. But how about you already have the image and mask shape inside the page/artboard? In Illustrator you tile the layers and whichever shape is on top becomes the mask shape

  12. imagine wasting 2 mins just for clipping mask with intro lol

  13. Great! Thanks a lot

  16. How to create a mask with a circle at 0:41

  17. You saved me!

  18. Awesome! Thanks a lot:)

  19. When you do the type mask part of the video you don't describe the step as it is supposed to happen you mention the step that you previously demonstrated in another method. When I try to follow I can't because I don't see the step you are doing. I took a five-minute break came back and watched again and finally got it! I give it a thumbs up because I see many people got the method and so di I fianlly

  20. Thank you! I was doing it in another app before.

  21. Besides the solid adobe app insights, i am here for the boston accent.

  22. Paste into option is grayed out

  23. Thank you!

  24. Everything you're showing is putting an image INTO a mask. But how do you do the opposite… cut a slice OUT of an image?

  25. Volume is low

  26. thanks a lot!!!!!
