New Cookie Cutter

Well, I finally got my idea up of a cookie cutter for cutting images or tiles.
I've had this in my head for some time. But could not find time to put it in writing. It took a couple days of testing. However, I seem to have broken my rotating tool for the items that are cut with it. So I will have to look at that problem tomorrow.

How many crafting people know what a mask is? %10 percent is a high guess.
Well in the computer world a mask is a shape that is put over something else to hide what is outside of the shape. In the craft world I would call this a cookie cutter. Can't think of anything else to call it.

So it's pretty simple. Load patterns to the drawer by clicking on the pattern tab. Then click the open folder button in that tool bar. Open the image by clicking any picutre on your disk. Then drag the image to the canvas.

Now you need a shape for the cookie cutter to cut to. So you can make a shape by opening the shapes panel. After you have your desired shape click the cookie cutter tool. To pick up the shape hold the CTRL key and click the shape. It will follow the mouse.

You press on the image pattern where you want to fill the shape. And there it is! You will see a shape with the image that has been filled from the pattern. To see where you cut, the transparency of the pattern was reduced. It can be set to full transparency by deleting it from the canvas and dragging it back to the canvas. But most people will just want to delete it.
