Make a whole area transparent

[DaleCooper]

Hi all, I would like to make a whole area transparent on my design. Let me explain: I've got a design with shapes that overflow on the edges. I have a particular shape around my design to hide those overflows. I would like this particular shape to become a transparent cache that would ignore what is behind (so the whole area of the shape makes everything that is in it transparent). As a result, the overflows would become transparent too.

Is it possible ? How can I achieve that ?

Thanks

Hi DaleCooper

Well, not quite sure of what you need, but in this case, i'll say you could use a layer mask, to hide some objects in your image, this's just a guess of course, if you can upload a pic of what you need to achieve, it will help us, to visualize your problem, and give you some hits or advise.

Good luck
