@texasmedialaw
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.
@amylouisesmithart
🙂Just what I need to know, thank you!
@demiloca
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?
@LimeArt09
Can you clip using another image??
@richardgeorge1114
Thanks Good
@cristinagardon
Thank you!!
@jasmineslife98
thank youu 🙏
@josiahtaundidesigns
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
@MM-dq5if

Awesome! Thanks a lot:)
@politicallil7060
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
@Each1Teach1BuildMany
Thank you! I was doing it in another app before.
@confit

@corinecardoso

@daltonrandall4348
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?
