How to use PS clipping mask

How to use PS clipping mask: First create two layers, the lower layer is equivalent to the base plate, and the upper layer is equivalent to the colored paper; then paste the upper layer of colored paper to the lower layer of the base plate. At this time, the lower layer Whatever the shape of the bottom plate is, the cut-and-paste effect will be that shape.

How to use PS clipping mask:

(1) First, we open PS, create a new blank document, and enter some text, as shown below.

(2) Next, we create a new layer above the text layer, fill it with a color or pull a gradient, whatever you want, as long as the new layer contains As long as the thing can cover the text layer.

(3) Next, we move the mouse between the new layer and the text layer, hold down the alt key, and you can find that the mouse is deformed (there is a downward arrow), click the mouse to create a clipping mask. We found that the text layer came out.

(4) Observing the text carefully, we found that the color of the text has changed and turned into a somewhat familiar color - in fact, it is the gradient color we just pulled (the editor moved the text layer up, I hope everyone can see the comparison clearly)

(5) In fact, the principle of clipping mask is very simple: clipping mask requires two layers, and the lower layer is equivalent to the base plate , the top is equivalent to colored paper. When we create a clipping mask, we paste the upper colored paper onto the lower base plate. The shape of the lower base plate will be the shape of the clipping effect.

(6) Based on this principle, we can make new attempts. Try changing the layer above the text layer to a landscape photo and see the effect!
