Skills DevelopmentClipping Mask

I used a clipping mask to make the barcode image fit into the curve of the circle shape. A clipping mask hides the unwanted part of an image, by fitting the image

into a shape.

1. First I selected the layer of the barcode. I

ensured that the layer was above

the circle to create the desired

effect.

2. I then right-

clicked on the layer

and scrolled down to

the 'Create Clipping

Mask' button.

3.Clicking on this

caused the barcode layer to be

indented, creating the clipping mask.

4.

This is the final result, with the only visible barcode being that placed inside the circle.
