If you need a mysterious photo, Glitch can be an easy choice with Mask and Stencil.

Instead of waiting, you can think for yourself and design your own effects with Medibang, such as this:Īn interesting effect can be made by putting two photos together in a way that makes one image almost see-through on top of the other.

I'll be posting instructions on how to use Mask and Stencil to create effects in paintings and comics soon. What can you do with layer Mask and Stencil in Medibang? Once you know how this Mask and Stencil layer works, all you have to do is use your imagination to give your painting a unique look. And if you use all of these effects at the same time, you can make even more awesome effects. But dividing them into two different layers can make it easy for even a beginner to control them. That doesn't mean that you can only use the Brush to paint on the layer Mask and Stencil. Instead of putting two tools on the same mask in Medibang, they split it into two different kinds of layers. And when you want that image to show up again, you can use the eraser to undo the marks you made on the layer Mask. When you create a layer mask in Photoshop, you can cover the original image by painting it black. Medibang has created a black masking layer, which has caused the result that the original layer completely disappears. That means the same thing happened with this layer as with the Mask layer. It is all black, while the thumbnail for the Mask is white. Instead of throwing a hissy fit, take a look at the thumbnail for the Stencil layer. The picture you need to edit will disappear right after you create the Stencil layer, even though you didn't turn off the visibility of the layer that had it in the first place. Similar to the Layer Mask, you can create the Stencil layer through the Layer menu or simply choose the button in the Layer window. You can see how the opacity lowers if we pick another color. So you can use this feature to get the effect you desire. If you try to choose a different color, Medibang will think that this color is either white or black with the transparency changed. And you know that there will only be white and black color effects on this layer. In fact, Medibang's mask layer is an 8-bit layer.

With this trick, you can crop the edited layer without worrying about how it will affect the original image. The image on the layer that was chosen hasn't changed only the effect on the layer mask has changed what is shown. This does not mean that the layer you chose has been erased. If you paint on the layer mask with a black color (either with a brush or by making a selection and filling it with color), the selected layer will be deleted right away on the part you painted. If you still don't know what "Clipping" is, you can quickly read the article I posted before about the Medibang Layer. That means that this mask layer is clipped to the layer that was chosen and only affects that layer.

Or create it right from the layer Mask button in Medibang's Layer window.Īs soon as you make the Mask layer, you'll see that it has an arrow pointing to the layer below. You can easily create a layer Mask by choosing the menu Layer -> Add Mask.

Now let's go straight to see what we can do with the Layer Mask and Stencil. In the article “Create a scatter effect with Clip Studio Paint”, I also have the definition of layer Mask, so we don't need to repeat it again. Now it's time to learn about Layer Mask and Stencil in Medibang. As I updated the topic of how layers work in Medibang, I realized that Mask and Stencil are two complicated layers that need their own article.
