Choose the Stroke option and add a stroke, sampling a color from within the image.Īnd if you want to add additional graphical elements, you can repeat this same process using any custom or stock icons. Select the text layer and then click on the Layer Styles icon ( fx) below the Layers Panel. You can also add additional elements to the text, like strokes and icons. You can type different text, change the font, change the image-you name it. Remember that everything we’ve done up until this point can be changed or adjusted at any time. Once you’ve filled the text with an image, you don’t have to stop there. This will hide that area, allowing you to dial-in the perfect effect. Simply create a selection over an area you want to hide.Ĭlick on the Layer Mask of that Layer, hit SHIFT + DELETE to open the Fill dialog, and fill that selection with black. If you find that the copies are overlapping in unwanted ways, you can use Layer Masks to make further adjustments. Now you’ll have two separate image elements that can be adjusted to create a more customized composition. You can even make another copy of the image and clip the copy to the text. Pretty cool! You can move the image around and transform it as much as you want-it will still only appear within the text element below it. Since it’s positioned directly over the text in the Layer Stack, Photoshop will ‘clip it’ to the text. Right-click on the image layer and select Create Clipping Mask. Clipping Masks are the perfect tool for the job! Now we need a way to make the image only appear where the text is visible. Grab any image and add it to the project on top of the text in Layer Stack. Our goal is to use an image to fill in our text. Non-destructive workflows like this make it easy to make creative decisions on the fly without ever having to worry about needing to start from scratch. No matter what font you choose, you’ll be able to go back and change it at any time-even after the effect has been applied. For this particular kind of effect, it’s best to choose a font that has a higher weight-this will ensure that the image is legible once we add it to the text. But you can use your photography and photo skills to style text in fun ways.įirst, you’ll need to select a font. If you’re used to working with images, you might feel a little out of your element working with typography. Whether you’re working on graphics, ads, or elements for your website, Photoshop has plenty of options to create eye-catching text.
