Instructor's Corner- Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop Tips and Tricks

Have you heard the term "Photo-shopped"? Ever wonder how'd they do that? I'll share some creative tutorials with you here in Adobe Photoshop Tips and Tricks!

Photo within Text

  1. Open a photo that you'd like to use to fill in across your text.
  2. Ctrl A (to select all), Ctrl C (to copy), Ctrl N (to create a new file), OK, Ctrl V (to paste)
  3. Close original photo.
  4. On left see the "Tools" (single or double column of tool icons...double setting is best! Click on the double arrows at top of tools to change).
  5. Click on the button that looks like a capital T....Horizontal Type Tool.
  6. Click on the photo and type a word. Some ideas....USA used with an American flag photo or FLOWER used with a flower photo. Capitalized and bold text is best (more of the photo can be seen). Using one word is ideal.
  7. Make the text large enough to cover the part of the photo you want to see on the text.
  8. A tip to make text larger
    1. Click on the Move Tool (top right on Tools)
    2. At top, put a check mark on Show Transform Controls
    3. Hold down Shift and resize text from a corner of the dashed border around the text, using the diagonal double headed arrow
    4. When resizing in any program, always let go of the mouse first and then the Shift key
    5. If needed, the best way to Undo is Edit, Step Backward (or Alt Ctrl Z)
  9. Move text using the Move tool.
  10. On right see the Layers palette (if not, Window-Layers).
  11. Drag the text Layer under the photo layer (hold down left click on text layer and drag down until you see double horizontal lines under the photo layer).
  12. Right click on the Text layer and choose Rasterize Type
  13. With the text layer already selected hold down the Ctrl key and click on the photo layer. Now both layers are selected.
  14. Hold down the Alt key and move the mouse to the line between the photo layer and the text layer. See 2 intersecting circles and an arrow, and then click...Presto! You should now see your Photo within your text!
  15. With both layers selected, right click and choose Merge Layers.
  16. You can now save and while on the Move tool, you can move or drag your Photo within Text to another Photoshop file!
  17. Practice...Practice...Practice! More to come.....Lena C.
