I needed to cut around an image inside and out to make it asked a sketal shape. Place this onto another colour image so the colour shows through the sketal image

    You can add multiple shape masks to define multiple areas, and you can also animate the shapes with keyframes so that they follow a moving object, or follow an area while a camera pans. For information about animating shape masks

    Hello, yes please post an image. I'm not getting the "sketal" term. Can you tell what you mean?
    All my best,
    Martin

    It seems to me what what you want to do is create paths for different area of an image.  You will  be able to stroke those paths onto and empty layer like a line drawing like in a coloring book.  You use this stroked drawing many ways in a composit, Blend it, use it in a mask, use it as an overlay

    Yes. I have drawn an image which has been made as a sketal shape in silver. The jeweller has sent me this image via email and I need to now cut around the outer edge and inside so it's a framework and then place this over the the type of shell that this will eventually be attached to. I am designing jewellery of endangered species, staying with a Hammerhead shark that will be over laid onto a Sony Oyster shell.
