    Unhappy Merge a shape and an image together as one

    Hi,

    I used to know how to do this but I have forgotten :-(

    I draw a circle using the shape tool.
    I then import an image over the circle.

    Now I want to combine them as one singular image (logo within a circle)

    How do I do the last step?

    Thank You!

    Select both (pic in font of shape) and hit Q

    Hitting the 'Q' key means that you apply a ClipView. Alt+Q removes the ClipView again. For further info, check the Help file.

    Circle + Fill Tool > Bitmap?

    Gary, this doesn't work for any variation I can think of.

    I thought the member wanted to combine the two shapes into one. But I retract what I said. Change that to with the target shape on top of the image, Combine Shapes > Intersect Shapes (Ctrl + 3)

    What! Only three ways to do this?
