Adobe XD doesn't directly support clipping masks like other Adobe software. However, you can achieve a similar effect using the "Mask with Shape" feature. This allows you to mask an image or drawing within a shape.
Here's how:
- Select the image or drawing and the shape you want to use as the mask.
- Use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + Mask (MacOS) or Control + Shift + Mask (Windows) to mask the image or drawing within the shape.
- Alternatively, you can right-click on the selected content and choose "Mask with Shape".
The portion of the image or drawing that falls outside the shape will be masked out, creating the effect of a clipped image.
Other methods to achieve a similar effect:
- Using Photoshop: You can mask out the background in Photoshop and then drag and drop the masked image into Adobe XD.
- Creating a transparent image: You can use the "Fill" option to add a color or texture background behind a new transparent image, achieving a mask-like effect.
Tips:
- You can use various shapes to create different masks.
- You can ungroup a masked object by selecting the object and selecting "Object > Ungroup Mask" or using the shortcut Cmd + Shift + G (Mac) & Ctrl + Shift + G (Windows).
Remember, Adobe XD is constantly evolving, and new features are added regularly. Stay up-to-date with the latest updates to see if clipping masks are introduced in future versions.
