The Transparency mask allows you to selectively show or hide parts of a layer. By using a mask, you are able to avoid deleting parts of an image that you just might want in the future. This allows you to work non-destructively.<\/p>\n<p>People ask also, why can&#8217;t I create a <strong>clipping<\/strong> mask? You have to select more than one object. Both the path\/shape that you want as clipping mask, and the object(s) you want to mask. The <strong>mask<\/strong> path\/shape must be the top object in the layer.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between layer mask and clipping mask?<\/h2>\n<p>Clipping masks also allow you to hide portions of an image, but these masks are created with multiple layers, where as, layer masks only use a single layer. A clipping mask is a shape that masks other artwork and only reveals what lies within the shape.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you access the clipping mask function?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Hold down Alt (Option in Mac OS), position the pointer over the line dividing two layers in the Layers panel (the pointer changes to two overlapping circles), and then click.<\/li>\n<li>In the Layers panel, select the top layer of a pair of layers you want to group, and choose Layer &gt; Create Clipping Mask.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How do I turn a clipping mask into a shape?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 420px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zapgECp5vO0\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What is a clipping mask used for?<\/h2>\n<p>A clipping mask lets you use the content of a layer to mask the layers above it. Content of the bottom or base layer determines the masking. The non-transparent part of the base layer clips (reveals) the content of the layers above it in the clipping mask. All other content in the clipped layers is masked out (hidden).<\/p>\n<h2>How do you make a clipping mask with multiple shapes?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 420px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z8SBCeXwTVM\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Is there a blur tool in Krita?<\/h2>\n<p>The blur filters are used to smoothen out the hard edges and details in the images.
