如何在Photoshop中使用剪贴蒙版（而非图层蒙版）

Layer Masks, like many parts of Photoshop, are rarely used because they aren’t intuitive or immediately easy to grasp. Learn about them in this How-To, with our video tutorial, and read how and why “Layer Masks” are so different.

图层蒙版与Photoshop的许多部分一样，很少使用，因为它们不直观或不易掌握。 通过我们的视频教程，在本“方法指南”中了解它们，并阅读“层蒙版”为何如此不同以及为什么如此不同。

They provide an interesting way to dynamically transform text, brush strokes, vectors, or any sort of layer with ease, and really aren’t very hard to use or understand. Simply read on to see how you can start incorporating Clipping Masks into your Photoshop technique.

它们提供了一种有趣的方式来轻松地动态转换文本，画笔描边，矢量或任何种类的图层，并且实际上并不太难使用或理解。 只需继续阅读以了解如何开始将Clipping Masks结合到Photoshop技术中。

演示剪贴蒙版的使用(视频) (Demonstrating Use of Clipping Masks (Video))

The lead image was made using a clipping mask on a text layer, and this video of the method used can be helpful dispelling the confusion around how that works. In addition to this, check out additional description of how they work in the section below.

前导图像是使用文本图层上的剪切蒙版制作的，该视频介绍了所用方法，有助于消除人们对其工作方式的困惑。 除此之外，请在下面的部分中查看有关它们如何工作的其他说明。

什么是剪贴蒙版？ (What is a Clipping Mask?)

Clipping Masks are not terribly complex, but unless you understand what they’re going to do, you may become very confused when you apply one.

剪贴蒙版并不是很复杂，但是除非您了解它们的作用，否则在应用时可能会感到非常困惑。

As a demo, begin with a blank empty document, then create a text object. We’re going to create a clipping mask cut to the opaque pixels of the text object.

作为演示，请先从空白的空白文档开始，然后创建一个文本对象。 我们将创建一个剪切蒙版，剪切到文本对象的不透明像素。

Create a new layer over your text layer and fill it with anything. For demonstration purposes, you can navigate to Edit > Fill and use a pattern fill in your upper layer.

在您的文字图层上创建一个新图层，然后将其填充任何内容。 出于演示目的，您可以导航至“编辑”>“填充”，并在上一层中使用图案填充。

Right Click the layer you put on top of your text, and select “Create Clipping Mask.”

右键单击您放置在文本上方的图层，然后选择“创建剪贴蒙版”。

Clipping masks, as you can see, mask the image to the opaque pixels of the bottommost layers. While many typography buffs may object, you can use this to fill your text with all manner of interesting things, while keeping it fully editable.

如您所见，剪切蒙版会将图像蒙版到最底层的不透明像素。 尽管可能会遇到许多印刷爱好者，但是您可以使用它来用各种有趣的方式填充文本，同时使其完全可编辑。

图层蒙版有何不同？ (How is a Layer Mask Different?)

If you’ve worked with Layer Masks or Vector masks before (which HTG readers may remember reading about) you might not understand why you would want to use a Clipping Mask when a Layer Mask works perfectly well. In many cases, this is true, but each one is a tool, and any tool has specific uses.

如果您以前使用过“图层蒙版”或“矢量蒙版”( HTG读者可能会记得阅读过 )，则可能无法理解为什么当“图层蒙版”完美工作时要使用“剪贴蒙版”。 在许多情况下，这是正确的，但每个工具都是一种工具，任何工具都有特定的用途。

Layer Masks are extra channels that hide information for the attached layer. In other words, they’re like a grayscale image that makes parts of its layer opaque, and other parts transparent.

图层蒙版是隐藏附加图层信息的额外通道。 换句话说，它们就像是灰度图像，使图层的某些部分不透明，而其他部分则透明。

Because the mask is attached to a layer separate from anything else, it can be moved independently, and will not change dynamically the way a clipping mask can. This is not good or bad—they are simply separate tools from one another with differences worth noting. While both of them can be used for similar functions, they are completely separate, and can accomplish radically different things.

由于遮罩是附着在与其他物体分开的一层上的，因此它可以独立移动，并且不会像剪裁遮罩那样动态变化。 这不是好事还是坏事-它们只是彼此独立的工具，值得注意。 虽然它们都可以用于相似的功能，但它们是完全独立的，并且可以完成根本不同的事情。
