Hi,

I want to place my photo into a rectangle and to only view whats inside the rectangle. Currently the image goes over the shape. I know this used to be a feature that worked so please let me know how to do so. Heres a picture of how it currently looks, instead I want it to only show whats inside the haircut section:

Thank you!

Thank you. It works well except I dont want the blue outline of my rectangle to disappear. How can I mask it without removing the outline?

Unfortunately, you can't do that right now. I'd suggest creating two rectangles, one with the border and one as the mask.
