Placing image inside rectangle to hide outlier size

[arshiam93]

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!

Hi arshiam93-

If you're on Mac, you can use Mask with Shape. You should draw a rectangle over the image in the shape you want, select them both, and then select Mask with Shape.

Here's an example: Elaine Chao on Twitter: "#adobexd #protip Love that negative spacing and repeat grid. Hate the selva...

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.
