Now, it is easy to select that Ellipse Stroke Semi-Circle, convert that selection to Shape, then drag-and-drop to save your fresh new Shape as a custom shape in the Shapes box.
#PIXELMATOR PRO LAYER MASK FULL#
What appears in the Shapes box is a full Ellipse! Shape, Opacity, Stroke, Mask and Color are each interdepend ent, and define the development of the Pixelmator family. Stroking a 'shaped(?)' Stroke is also not proportional ( sic) to what we have discussed masking our Stroke for.īy MarkCate 07:00:00 However, say you want to save that semi-Ellipse mask construction as a shape, so you drag and drop it into your Shapes box. But that kind of Shape grows and shrinks the original Shape's Stroke thickness as saved Shapes inserted in constructions change dimension. What appears in the Shapes box is a filled (stroke-less?) Ellipse!Ĭonvert a Shape to pixels and you save the original Shape's Stroke outline. However, say you want to save that Ellipse construction as a shape, so you drag and drop it into your Shapes box. Now, the half circle Ellipse Stroke still rotates around the axis of the whole Ellipse-and-Stroke unit, which is mission critical goodness for some projects. Add a Mask to the stroke-only visible Ellipse and use the rectangular selection tool to select (mask) half of the Ellipse. Say you use a Mask to cut the visible unfilled Ellipse Stroke shape in half. In addition to Group styling (which works for things like opacity) further Pixelmator development focus is required for Shape management. Unfortunately, (at time of writing) Pixelmator Pro doesn't allow styles to be applied to groups.” St3f wrote: “In a clipping mask, the bottom layer provides the opacity and the top layer the colour. However, now that I know to add that extra step, I'll try to use PMPro in the future. I actually ended up using Inkscape because my image wasn't really an image, it was a drawn graphic, and saving it as SVG meant being able to resize it infinitely without pixellation. (And yes, it is confusing, not least because most of the other tools I've used put the clipping area on top, such as Inkscape and Gimp.) Yep, I just tried it that way and it works great. I think the tutorial is just missing the step of moving the Circle layer under the image layer. I do see that the second screen shot does have the image as the top layer. The tutorial didn't have instructions for doing that, and when I right-clicked on the "upper layer" it was still the Circle layer. Somehow those two layers were swapped/moved. Then the paragraph directly below that says to "right-click the upper layer" and choose Create Clipping Mask.īut the next screen shot has to the two layers swapped - the Circle is now on the bottom and the image is on top! The first screen shot under "Create a Clipping Mask" shows the Circle layer above the photo image. By the way, the app runs natively on Apple Silicon, for those of you with Apple M1-powered hardware.Okay, I see what happened.

Pixelmator Pro 2.3 is available now as a free update for existing Pixelmator Pro 2 owners. Step 3: Decontaminate the colors at the object’s edges Step 2: Refine the edges of the selection You can see each step in the process in the images below. Then a third AI model enters the scene to perform color decontamination. The next step is refining the edges of the selection. The first step performed by the AI is finding the subject and creating an approximate mask around it. The company writes, 'Because Pixelmator Pro does much more than just simple background removal, we decided to create three algorithms – one for detecting the subjects of images, one for refining selection edges, and one for decontaminating the colors at the edges of objects.' These big new features are powered by machine learning algorithms that the Pixelmator team has spent the last year developing.
