How to correctly crop an object in Figma?

Question

Figma

I cropped a fragment of the screenshot with a pen, the vector stood out, but the piece of the picture itself was not cut out. How to cut it?

Answer 1

The principle is this: we outline the object with a pen, then turn off the stroke / stroke of the figure and turn on the fill / fill. After that, we move the vector under the image, select both layers and turn on the mask.

Answer 2

If I understand correctly, you are talking about clipping. You started correctly with the pen, but the created vector needs to be filled with color and used as a mask.
