###### Image Mask

Enable this feature to automatically crop uploaded photos into a custom shape you have set in your artwork. Once the photo is uploaded, it will display within the image's black mask. 

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_164em3h.png)

|| The image mask must be a PNG file, and it is recommended to use solid black for the shape.

### **Depend on another layer**

Enable the current layer to be dependent on other layers, ensuring identical attributes, allowing you to customize once and apply it across various layers.
e.g., layer B depends on Layer A, select image on Layer A will result in the same image appearing on Layer B.
