2.0 Migration - Clipping Mask Conversion
When you convert your Corjl Legacy design in Corjl 2.0, any images clipped to either text or shapes will become unclipped. Fortunately, the new Corjl 2.0 Clipping Mask feature makes it very easy to reconnect these images.
Clipping masks that are disconnected during conversion will be placed with the image in the layer directly above the shape or text layer. To reconnect your clipping masks, simply reposition the image that was originally clipped over the shape layer below. The clipping mask will automatically reconnect.
Double-click on the clipped image to reposition within the frame.
Please note: The image will be placed so it fills the entire mask image area by default. To have the image smaller than the clipping mask shape or to partially cover the shape, read the Partially Filled Clipping Masks section below.
Clipping PNG and SVG Images
When creating Clipping Masks using images with transparency such as PNG and SVG images, the shape below the image will automatically become transparent as well.
Partially Filled Clipping Masks
Images used in a Clipping Mask in Corjl 2.0 will automatically fill the entire mask shape by default. To have a clipped image fill only part of the clipping mask use the following steps:
- Reconnect the clipping mask.
Right-click on the clipped image and go to Clipping Mask > Fill Clipping Mask option and deselect it.
- Double-click on the clipped image and you can now reposition the image smaller or partially inside the clipping mask shape.
Adding a Color Shape Below Clipping Mask
For designs using a partially filled color mask and a shape with color-changing ability, you can place a second shape under the clipped image and place the partially clipped image above it. You can then freeze both elements to keep them in place.
See the recording below for an example of that method:
