Product Update, September 26, 2026: Masking, Grouping and Flipping in the Editor

Published on by Lars Normark Andersen

The editor gets three tools you know from design software.

Masking Selection: a picture inside any shape

Put a picture inside any shape: a circle, a star, a speech bubble. Select two objects and click Masking Selection. The bottom object supplies the picture, and the top object supplies the shape. Play creates a new image and saves it in your library. See masking an image.

Group objects

Select several objects and click Group objects to move, resize, rotate and align them as one. Perfect for a logo with a text, or a price tag with its product. Click Ungroup whenever you want to edit them separately again.

Flip images and shapes

Mirror images, shapes, icons and groups horizontally or vertically with one click. Select the object, open Settings, and use Flip horizontal or Flip vertical under Rotate. Handy when a person in a photo should look towards your text instead of away from it.
