I learn so much from the University of Juno! Just bought Kittl 2 days ago. I'm in sponge mode

[@DetourShirts]

Nice! So glad I could help

[@JBUMMER1]

Thanks again for another helpful video. I really appreciate these.

[@DetourShirts]

Glad you like them!

[@lauranasipak5858]

This video was super helpful. I have only played with the masks a little and had not gotten the hang of how to change the images sizes, so this cleared it up for me!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it helped!

[@addisondraper6444]

Thanks again for another great video. I just noticed the masks in Kittl yesterday and was wondering how to use them. Perfect timing. thanks, Juna. - the only addison

[@DetourShirts]

Happy to help!

[@chelsabailey1018]

Awesome video! I've been using Kittl A LOT lately and this video is just what I needed to help enhance my T-Shirt designs!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[@DetourShirts]

That's awesome... hope you do really well this year

[@Abqscanner]

I'm new to Kittl (and your channel) and love your how-to videos! this one was super helpful!! Masking is new to me - and really opens up idea possibilities. Thank you!!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janine11112]

I haven’t tried Kittl yet but it looks easy. BTW, Are you going to be doing a video on what the Affinity V2 changes are?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... working on it

[@JBUMMER1]

I would love to know how to add some of my all over patterns to a shape.

[@DetourShirts]

You can upload your own patterns to Kittl and then drop them in a mask shape

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

Juna, thanks for making this video, which is very good and helpful. You are a very good teacher.

[@DetourShirts]

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful

[@stacyosborn4537]

Awesome job! Great teacher for us beginners! Ty!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markusraff3578]

Will there be masking for individual drawn shapes anytime soon like it's possinle in any vector design spftware?

[@DetourShirts]

That's a good question for Kittl... you can check their feature request roadmap here...feedback.kittl.com/

[@joannebeauchemin5287]

Great video! How to unlock the mask and delete it ?

[@DetourShirts]

So a mask is just a fancy group.... if you right click you can ungroup it or if you click command + G that would ungroup it too.

[@joannebeauchemin5287]

@@DetourShirts Thank you for your reply. It didn't work for me. It cropped to the mask and made my image smaller instead of deleting the mask : /

[@JeanAthey]

Can I use a mask to add a jagged edge to a finished/saved project that is in my Uploads section? I designed a Halloween scene but learned after finishing it, that the background was part of the template and couldn't be deleted. I was hoping to drag the finished design into a mask to get rid of most of the background, but couldn't make it work. Can you only use an image that is already in Kittl's elements area, not an image that you bring in from the outside? Thanks, Juna

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... you should be able to mask any image...not a graphic but an image.

[@followmesky]

Great job, Juna. I would love to see that tutorial.. always learn something new.

[@DetourShirts]

Coming soon!

[@BettyMullins]

Can you make your own mask in kittl like you can in canva and if so is there a video to show you how?

[@DetourShirts]

I don't think so.... at least I haven't done it

[@maxwell-cole]

Super dope video. Thanks man!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad you liked it!

You are welcome

[@almightyvock]

how about a vid on how to do 3 colored letters like the word irish in flag colors....

[@DetourShirts]

Not sure if you can with Kittl... It's easier in Affinity or Photopea

[@JeanAthey]

Hi Juna, two quick newbie questions, please. I created a project and saved it, thinking I could drag it into a mask after that. It didn't work, the designed project simply covered the mask and I couldn't change it to be able to accomplish what I wanted. Am I correct that you can't drag a finished and saved design into a mask on a new blank artboard and have it work? Secondly, say I want to abandon a design halfway through it to return to the home page of Kittl and try a new template. I can't find an "exit" or "close" button that would close that design out and let me begin again. What is the best way to abandon a design you don't want? Thanks for any help you can give.

[@DetourShirts]

I haven't done it but I would guess you would have to save the project as a png or jpg and then upload back into Kittl and then put it in a mask.... that's because it can currently only mask one graphic at a time not a whole group of graphics. So one thing I like to do if I am going to close my project and begin another one is to click on the Kittl logo in the top left. It will ask you to save and then it will take you to the Kittl homepage and then you can click on New Project or My Project... It's one extra step but it works pretty good.

[@zvory8507]

I started trying design about a week ago , no prior experience in graphic design . I tryed Kittl once , but i feel i learn more when i struggle in Photoshop , so far i feel like everything its to basic . Any tips to improve ?

[@DetourShirts]

I think I would start with a bunch of templates you love....learn how they are put together in Kittl.... and see if you can replicate them

[@zvory8507]

@@DetourShirts Thanks for the tip , il try and do some homework on it :D

[@elvis723]

Great video as always Juna. After all these years watching your videos, it's gonna take time to get used to your new opening music. I liked your old one better, but we aren't here for the music lol.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks... I'll probably change it next year to keep it fresh

I am so grateful for you!!

Can Kittl do word shape? I will try Kittl asap, thanks :)

[@DetourShirts]

Yes you can.... kind of... here is a video from Kittl.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXmspoVol8ejpbs

[@davidkaminsky4464]

I don't have the ability to remove my mask color and make it transparent. How can I have that function?

[@DetourShirts]

It should be automatic... Do you have a subscription? Are you sure you are putting it in the mask?

[@jeffbdw]

Just an erase too, l would do such wonders for kittle. Like what picmonkey has

[@DetourShirts]

Great idea

[@dani1366631]

I am trying to figure out how to use the masks in canva. I have canva Pro and love canva so much. I create everything from little videos to social media posts and printable for myself. Also make the t-shirt designs there but can't figure out the masks

[@DetourShirts]

The masks in Canva work pretty much the same way

Juno can you please do a Teechip video. I searched your content and didn’t see one.

I grouped a few elements and tried dragging the group into a mask. Doesn’t work. Just sits on top of the mask shape like the mask doesn’t even exist.

[@DetourShirts]

Groups don't work.... you can only mask one think at a time

[@bhaveshmotwani9730]

If I go with free plan in kittl. Am I allowed to use every image for free or should I give attribution.If yes, then how should I give attribution? And is it important?

[@DetourShirts]

That's what they say.... I think it means you have to say you got the design from Kittl and possibly the person who made it if you didn't make it yourself.

[@bhaveshmotwani9730]

@@DetourShirts OK OK got it thanks❤ keep yourself growing

[@andyb5521]

Detour can you do a tutorial on making words multi colours ,say 3 colour on America lets say so it's red white and blue on the word America. On kittl please. I tried watching the guy from kittl and can't follow for some reason. You explain things correctly as I'm new to the design game and he just does it expecting everyone to be on the same level. I tried doing what he was doing but jus got frustrated. Thanks .

[@DetourShirts]

Like the word America in red, white and blue? Like AM in Red, ERI in White and CA in Blue?

[@andyb5521]

America red at the bottom white in the middle blue on top so all three colours in the one word. Like rainbow style.

[@DetourShirts]

I'm not sure you can do it in Kittl but I'll see what I can do

[@zvory8507]

You could add 1 overlay , and change the colors i think

[@andyb5521]

@@zvory8507 I've only started doing this sort of design for pod like a week 8 days. But I'm loving it and detour explained other things easily to understand. I'm a dinosaur in age 40 and just started using the computer full-time 2 days before Christmas. I know your pysl right now but it's never to late or so I'm telling myself. 🤣😂🤪

Dude your face is covering the layers and blocking how you layer elements. I'm messing with it and sometimes getting it but mostly not. What's in front and what's in back? Bummed!
