You can use this effect with any layer so if you have created a shape with the pen tool this will also work. This makes the fill transparent giving us the effect we want to achieve. Click the flyout and reduce the percentage to 0%. To complete the effect return to the layers menu. You can define the size of the stroke, fill colour and a few other options here. Give the shape a stroke by checking the Stroke box at the bottom.
This will bring up the layer style dialog box. Now in the layers palette (Window > Layers) find the layer for the shape you have drawn and right click on the layer. It doesn’t really matter which colour you use as this will be hidden. The techniqueįirst we draw the shape as normal. We want the shapes to overlap with a transparent centre but for them also to have a stroke. In Illustrator this would be easy but it requires a little more effort in Photoshop. I want to have shapes or anything for that matter have a stroke but a transparent fill. Here's a workaround.Įstimated reading time: 2 minutes Table of contents Last updated Saturday, Photoshop 101 - Transparent Fills Photoshop doesn't come with the same one-click ability as Illustrator to make the fill of shapes or objects transparent. Start by opening the image you want to place inside your shape.Photoshop 101 - Transparent Fills | George Ornbo Then I'll show you how to move the shape and the image to a new background.
We'll start by learning how to draw our shape and how to place the image inside it. If you're using an earlier version of Photoshop, or you want to learn how to create this same effect using a clipping mask, check out the previous version of this tutorial.ĭownload this tutorial as a print-ready PDF! How to place an image inside a shape That's because we'll be drawing our shape using the new Shapes panel, and also because CC 2020 gives us lots of new shapes to choose from. To follow along, you'll need Photoshop CC 2020. So when it's time to move the effect to a new background, we're moving one layer instead of two! Let's see how it works. But with a vector mask, the image and the shape are on the same layer. In this case, we would need one layer for the image and another layer for the shape.
The reason is that a clipping mask always needs two separate layers. But if your goal is to move the shape and the image to a different background, then vector masks have the advantage. Both are easy to use, and both can produce the same results. One is by using a clipping mask, and the other is with a vector mask. There are two main ways to fill a shape with an image in Photoshop.
