It is really hard to figure out some of the stuff in Pixelmator Pro, I cannot believe how much time I have wasted just trying to figure out how you mask to a vector. Still have not figured it out so as a last resort I decided to se if anyone on the forum can help.
This is something that is drop dead easy in Affinity Photo, in fact drag and drop easy.
How do you create a mask from a vector in Pixelmator Pro

OK, that sounds interesting, does the vector path layer need to be selected in order to do this? I had read somewhere else about doing something like this but could not figure out how to do it. I'll have to try it again.
Thanks!
Thanks!

No*. I think it's just selecting it as rendered pixels, so you can use the usual selection tools and refine the selection (even invert it if you want) before applying it as a mask.
(edit) *If you have Sample All Layers checked. If you don't have this checked then you would have to have the shape layer selected, but that would be true of a pixel layer, too.
