Creating a Clipping Mask in Photoshop

To create a clipping mask in Photoshop, follow these steps:

1. Open Photoshop and place the image you want to use as the background on one layer.
2. Create a new layer above the background image layer and place the image or shape you want to use as the mask on this new layer.
3. Position the mask layer on top of the background image layer.
4. Right-click on the mask layer and select "Create Clipping Mask" from the dropdown menu.
5. Your mask will now clip to the shape of the layer below it, creating a clipping mask effect.

Creating a clipping mask in Photoshop allows you to seamlessly blend images and shapes together for a professional and polished look.

Remember to practice and experiment with different shapes and images to achieve the desired effect in your design projects.
