Behind blend mode - BRILLIANT. Never would have thought of that. In fact, using blend modes instead of masks is genius. Great video.

[@questionmark5608]

hi, how do I do it in a PNG logo or a picture? thanks

[@DansplainingVideo]

Are you asking how to get one image behind the text, and a different image inside the text, like in the thumbnail? I could probably show how to do that in Affinity Photo.

[@questionmark5608]

@@DansplainingVideo yes thank you

[@DansplainingVideo]

I think my most recent video is what you wanted.
