KungFuPanda Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I barely taught myself to use Publisher to make basic fliers. What I want to do is take a .png silhouette and fill it with photos so that he collage is in the shape of that image. Is there a simple way to do this? Help! I did build some wood garden boxes for the first time today, so I'm not above watching a youtube video to learn a new skill. I know what I want my flyer to look like but I don't have the skill to make it a real thing. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I know how to do it in Photoshop with a clipping mask, but I don't know anything about Publisher :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezyone Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Publisher is no good. For a cheap, user-friendly PC software option (best features of Photoshop with the ease of Publisher) I recommend Serif PagePlus.

kroe1 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Yes, you can. Here is some instruction: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Insert-a-picture-into-an-AutoShape-7bb2abbb-561f-4f40-9762-d86df823d305 Edited April 9, 2017 by Minniewannabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to create the collage first, save it as a single image, and then insert that single image into an auto shape. This can also end up looking funky if the images are not all high-res but it is doable. You'd be very limited WRT to shapes tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) You'll need to do this with a clipping mask layer in a photo editing program that deals in layers (like Photoshop). Edited April 9, 2017 by Forget-me-not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
