Custom Shapes to Crop/Mask Images - Function Not Appearing

Last week, there was a update posted to the uservoice forum for the Express Idea: Utilize custom shapes to crop/mask images that stated that a new function should be available now to upload a number of different image types, including PNG, SVG, JPG, AI, PSD to your Brand and when you go to apply a Crop to an image, you should now see the shapes appear as crop/mask options.

 

I am not seeing any difference in my interface. I already had a good number of transparent PNG’s in my Brand Kit, and they are not appearing as options. Additionally, I uploaded a new SVG and that, too, is not appearing as a crop/mask shape option. Others in that above linked thread are reporting the same inability.

    Hi ​@bryanua 

     

    The feature is currently only available to Enterprise users. Sorry if the UserVoice update suggested general availability; the post has been updated now. Bringing this feature to non-Enterprise users remains on our roadmap. Thanks for your patience.

    Hi ​@Abhi.G @ ADBE . My university-account with Adobe says ‘software for business. So I guess that means Enterprise. Yet I don't seem to have this option either.

    Hey ​@Chris_UCLL - I’m updating this thread since some new comments have come in and wanted to clarify, because that label can understandably suggest you're on a business/Enterprise plan.

    However, the Custom Shape Crop/Mask feature is currently gated to Adobe Express Enterprise entitlements specifically. Education deployments - even those labeled "software for business" in the account UI - may be provisioned under a different license type (such as VIP Education or an institutional agreement) that doesn't carry the same Enterprise feature entitlements.

    I've raised this with our product team to confirm:

    • Whether Education-licensed accounts are included in the Enterprise entitlement for this feature.

    I'll follow up on this thread once I have confirmation. In the meantime, if you're able to check one thing: go to account.adobe.com and look under Plans & Products. If you can share the exact plan name listed there (e.g., "Adobe Express - Enterprise," "All Apps - Education," etc.), that would also tell us which it is. 

    I appreciate your patience, Chris!
