hi there i made an image in paint: just a basic black triangle, sharpened it up in photoshop then saved as JPEG. then i coppied it into a new project and tryed to use a clipping mask over the top like i do with wording and for some reason its not working. it just sits on top of the image i pasted.

I found a way to get the result i wanted. i selected the the triangle using the smart select tool with the clipping mask off, then turned it back on, changed to the move tool and dragged it into a new project. worked well.

Hi

The clipping mask relies on some pixels in the layer below being transparent. If you saved your image as a jpeg your triangle will be a layer of foreground and background coloured pixels. No transparency.
