How to Create Clipping Masks in GIMP 2.10
In this GIMP 2.10.8 tutorial, I show you how to create a clipping mask - known as the Layer Group Mask in GIMP. This is a popular technique found in Photoshop, although you no longer need Photoshop thanks to this great, free photo editor. I define what a clipping mask is, how to apply it to a composition with multiple photos, and how to customize it by toggling it on and off (disable layer mask), deleting it, etc.

Wow, I am very glad to have found this channel. I'm looking to use GIMP to make images for apparel and other textile projects. I'm still literally physically cutting and pasting things like I'm making a punk zine in 1983. I think it's time for this analog man to go digital.
Thank you! Being able to move or scale the layers after the mask is created without touching the mask itself helps a lot.
Thank you so much this is what I needed .I gave up because I couldn't find real good examples on how to even use gimp thanks so much
Thank you very much, your videos are very helpful
thank you very much for the video friend, you made learning a new program much smoother than just playing around with it. Cheers.
great to see some good quality content!

Thanks Adam!
Thanks for the lesson! On a side note, how can we apply filters on top of the circle layer mask itself?
Great tutorial
I was trying to use the clipping mask to apply layers of shading to my characters Im creating without it getting messy but it doesnt let me use the brush tool to use the colors of my choice. It instead makes the brush tool erase the gray scale shade off of my character, what am I doing wrong. This wasnt as complicated in photoshop
I appreciate your work, I used to follow another vguy named Magellan on here but he's since quit gimp tutorials

Greetings! Nice video. Just starting with Gimp. As Photoshop user I'm used to certain functions. Clipping layer is one of those. There my "base" layer is the lower one. I can't figure out how to do that on Gimp (this video is helpfull but is not what I need, unfortunately)

Nevermind. Found it.
Thanks for the tutorial. But it seems not a real clipping. I am looking a clipping mask that without selection, i,e. a jpg image clips to a png image underneath layer. so that the portion of the jpg image is masked out by the underneath jng image. not sure if GIMP has the function.

why people dislike videos: bad video haha WHY I DISLIKE VIDEOS:
Should not you Emphasise your expression on Clipping Mask definition. This is the main topic, I am looking for on whole tutorial. By the way, thanks....
So I watched a video on how GIMP doesn't have a clipping mask feature, except it was called 'How to Create Clipping Masks'. It seems that, uh. No. You can't insert one image into another like Photoshop can with a single click. This isn't a clipping mask.
Can't believe a simple clipping mask required a 12 minute video🙂 wtth ?
That's not clipping... those are just different transparency masks...
I was looking for clipping mask options in gimp like in photoshop, but this i not what i was looking for so dissliked.
