How to Use Clipping Masks in Krita

Krita: Destination In Blend Mode Example, with Circle Clipping Mask (2025)

Share
Two images side by side in Krita: in the first, the mona lisa with a blue circle in a separate layer over her face. In the second, the circle layer has the "Destination In" blend mode, working as a clipping mask that makes everything outside the circle transparent; the blue circle itself isn't rendered, only the face clipped to the circle.

Description

An example of how to use the Destination In blend mode in Krita. Observe that the blue circle that uses this blend mode isn't rendered when the blend mode is active. It merely serves as a clipping mask.
