Clipping mask seems to have stopped working

I am running Pro 2.1.4. Coral and have used clipping masks several times in the past. Tried to use one today and it just doesn't work. The layer indents and appears to have the status of a clipping mask but it looks exactly the same rather than being filled with the layer below. I am suspecting user error but can't see what I might be doing wrong. Any pointers?

Do you make any selection or draw anything to work as mask or for "load selection" yet?

Ellen, I have a giant number 8 that I wanted to use as the clipping mask. The layer directly below is an image. I am simply using the menu options to do a "Create clipping mask" on the 8 layer but nothing happens visually at all.

Ah, I rewatched a tutorial on how to use Clipping Masks and saw my mistake. Simple user error and I had the layers the wrong way round for the effect I wanted. Thanks and sorry to bother!
