Create Text With Images In Photoshop

[green fairy 0]

I'll just show you all how to do this. It's actually pretty easy.

 

1) Open a new transparent document and use the type tool to create some text (use a big font with space between the letters).

I will be using Uzusi:

 

2) Now hold in Ctrl while you click on the text layer.

This should select your text:

 

3) Now with your text selected, all you need to do is copy an image you want to use to the clipboard.

I am using this image, but you can of course use whatever you want.

 

4) After copying, go Edit -> Paste Into.

My result now looks like this:

 

5) Click right on the image layer and go to blending options.

 

6) Drop shadow, bavel and emboss, + add some contour. It's better if you just use your own settings here to see what looks good.

 

My image text turned out like this:

 

Here are some other styles I did:

well...... quite nice if the right images are applied.just wondering......what pictures are the best used to suit this technique of text display......

Good stuff, but I prefer my text to be slighting transparent. By the way, that first style (the blue one), it's really ugly. I have no idea what Photoshop was thinking when they made that.

Couldn't agree more. Only, the company isn't Photoshop, it's Adobe.

well very nice tutorial but i was just wondering about the topic...it says create text with images...i think we have not created the text with the images but we have put a style with the images....so i think topic must be something like "create stylish text with images" ;)anyways this is a very nice tutorial...at least will help me while creating the SIGS...because i am very bad at text...as others have written in their reviews of my SIGS!

Yeah it does look pretty difficult but the result looks really good. I'm going to have to try this out next time I open up adobe and it should improve the text on my images....atleast I hope so.
