Tutorial Recording Notes:

Disclaimer: these are the actual notes I used to record this video and are written in a language you may or may not understand. Hopefully, you find them useful or cool.

  1. Start dragging images into shapes and show the limits on adjusting image size and position when you just drag in. This works most of the time and it’s the fastest and easiest way to mask.
  2. Cut away the shape that’s in place, drag in a photo and resize it, paste the shape (XD always pastes back in place) and then use the Object menu to create mask with the shape, open the layer folder and adjust the contents being masked as you wish.
