Image Hi PIxelamtor gang,

Looking forward to the next big update. I reckon when the new OS is coming out...


I was wondering if you guys could add more shapes, like the ones in the picture. That would be cool. At the moment I am doing it with CSS but would be good, if I can cut it out from a normal images - super fast.... Thanks.

FYI, pretty easy to add your own shapes now. This one was a bit more difficult because I had to fabricate her feet :smile:

The red circle shows the shape I made from your picture.

And a nice image showing your image and my shape. Image

Nice job.I reckon you have selected the women and then copied out to a new layer. How have you converted it to an icon? Nice job with the feed. Have you painted it?

Very simple. Select the silhouette. (yours was tricky) then Menu>Format>Convert to Shape. (select that new shape layer) Click the plus sign in the shape menu (refer to the above image Below the red circle line) Voila! New shape available. Its easy and fun.

Thanks i will try it. It was actually the different circles behind the women I would like to use for images on my website. It looks more modern and creative with different images. I can use a clipping mask to place the image in there. The images above are actually from one image and cut out with css to make it round but I thought it would be better to do it like this in Pixelmator pro to save kbs on the images to make the website load faster…

I did it. Will add more shapes like that. Thank you for the support.

It would be great though, if more beautiful shapes were included by default... .

Image Pixelmator is so cool. I have created the shapes and saved it. Now I used the clipping masks and exported it with webp. That looks so cool now on blog posts.

It is also cool that this forum and tutorials exists... Thanks for your help :)

I don't have a "convert to shape" in my format menu. I haven't seen it in the Format > shapes menu either.

Can you post a screenshot of that particular menu?
