Thank you brother.

I do think it is important to note that the multiply layer only works over certain colors and specifically does not work when placed over a black object (in this case a black circle). This does somewhat limit the impact of the clipping mask in comparison to Photoshop, in my opinion. Simply because if you were to import sketch lines into gimp and then make a clipping mask to differentiate between sketch lines and line art then it would not be able to be done in this fashion easily.

I must agree the shapes themselves has to be the colour white but the colours I overlay can be any colour I like, I haven't found it limiting at all compared to Photoshop for what I use these masks for... It may be a different story for overlaying images, but I haven't found I need such a use for that yet... XD

@@MMusselwhite97 fair enough, I also think it is awesome that she went looking through to figure out how to do a clipping mask. It has been something that has eluded me for quite some time so, even in this state it is still pretty useful even to me. I also realize I could probably just invert the colors if I needed to do sketch lines and have that clipping mask work over the line work.

if you put it on "addition" instead of "multiply", it works for darker colors. :)

Brilliant! Thanks for your video.

Useful!

That might be the simplest way to create a clipping mask with gimp, thanks!

Thank you kind sir 🙏🏾😌🎩

Thank you this was really helpful

Great video!thanks man

Doesn't really work with anything but colors. Adding images into the mask doesn't seem to work.

@@MMusselwhite97 No problem! I do it a lot in photoshop and wanted to find a way for gimp to do it too. Unfortunately it's pretty difficult.

it does work with images as well. Just tried it and it works. As for the mode, you might want to use "Screen" instead. Or if it's a dark shapen, "Lighten only" might do the trick.

Do you have any updated tutorial on gimp?

how do you multiply and just do a gradient?

Hey Marcus, To multiply a layer, go to where it says "Mode Normal" on the right side of GIMP with the layer selected, click on it and then a selection box will appear with all the different modes that is available in GIMP, simply click on Multiply through this box and it then should multiply whatever was on that layer to the layer beneath it. Doing a plain gradient is very similar to how you do it with clipping masks - All you have to do is have 2 separate colours selected and choose the "Gradient" tool on the left side of GIMP (or 'G' on the keyboard) and drag across 2 points of the image. From there GIMP allows you to refine the positions of the start and end points of the gradient, and to finalise just press "Enter" on the keyboard! I hope this helps! =)
