#32 Photoshop Trick: Placing Image Inside Text

Posted on 7:18 AM by Daniy

This is one of all Photoshop tricks I loved the most: putting my images inside text. It gives me a sense of movie around my design. Simply, the technique is more like masking image with text shape, but right now we’re gonna talk about the "Group" command. Here’s how you can do it.

At first, you should set your foreground color to black by pressing "D". Create your text with Type tool and stop, don’t render them because you can still do this trick process while they’re still in text mode.

Next is putting your image position to your text. Make sure the image layer is right above the type layer by looking inside the Layers palette; if it’s not, drag it immediately. Press "Ctrl+G" [Mac: Command+G] and have a look. It’s already there. Masked into your text. And you can still alter both position by using Move tool.
