**CORRECTION** It turns out there aren't multiple copies of the image, it's just linked copies of the original image, meaning it shouldn't affect performance as much.

[shahadeltayeb]

Inkscape is amazing all what it needs now is the CMYK support

[jinelyscosme]

The fact that you can open Affinity files it's a winner for me!! I work with both softwares and I love them both

[godnyx]

Inkscape is awesome! Can't wait for Vulkan rendering!

[pocketrealitty]

CMYK support would be amazing for this app.

Nice! I already have plenty of use for the shape builder improvement, and it will save a lot of time. Thanks for the info, Nick. Take care.

This workflow was already in Macromedia Flash in the early 2000s. I always thought it was a faster way of creating shapes. Really glad that Inkscape integrated it.

This is very similar to the behavior of xTool's XCS clip masking that they released last year (XCS is their laser device software). Very excited to see this come to Inkscape as it is one of the best clip masking functions I've seen.

WOW! All I can say. Thank you for the video

[jasonbartlett]

Great feature to highlight. I immediately had that question about having the HW/memory issue and you immediately answered it. I would like to know I'd you can the apply the mask once you are happy with it.

[bluedream]

Hi Nick, interesting concept. Thank you for introducing this to us. However, does this bring any advantage over Affinity’s ability of clipping the BG image into either compound-Boolean-added shapes/ fonts? Or are there other application examples for this new feature?

If someone has a hardware limitation do Edit>Create Bitmap Copy [Alt+B], which will create a raster image for any object in the current dimentions.
