evilbunny Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it This is my second tutorial (I hope this one is better :wink:) In this tutorial I will be showing you how to get a picture in your text. Plugins needed: -Gaussian blur -Outline object -Align object step 1: Make a new image 450x150 step 2: Select all (ctrl + a) and then press delete or ctrl + x step 3: Enter your text and use align object, just leave it at middle center. (for best outcome use a fat text) step 4: Search an image on google and copy it. step 5: Add a new layer and paste the image into it. step 6: Go to the background layer with your text and take the magic wand. Select the text. It should now look like this. step 7: Go to layer 2 with your picture and press delete. You should now see something like this. step 8: Go to layer 2 and use the outline object effect. (I choose 4 width) EXTRAS Ok now you're done but to make it look even better we're going to add some extras to it. step 9: Duplicate layer 2 and flip it vertically. Now drag it down a bit like this. step 10: Use the rectangle select and make it look something like this. Then cut the selected part (ctrl + x). step 11: Use gaussian blur on 4. Finished product: Please post your creations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilbunny Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 p.s. i loled ther no holes in the 'B' in step 7 then there is hopes in step 8 :o magical Yeah sorry for the confusion :? I maked those holes with the ellipse select in layer 2 first and then i made them in the background layer. So get your ellipse tool. Go to layer 2 and cut out a little circle. Then you see some black. To cut that out go to the background layer and cut it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerK Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Also setting magic wand to global will cut those holes out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy_S Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The same effects can be achieved with Alpha Mask Import Quote My deviantART | My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possum Roadkill Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 And the Alpha mask gives a cleaner cutout as well. I really like how you did the reflection, very nice. I use this cutout effect a lot with similar textures with contrasting colors or with photos of things that have a repetitive pattern like a comb of honey (the real thing) or a field of flowers. This is an image I did for one of my You Tube videos. The text is cut out of the graffiti on one train car and put on another. I then used the relief effect on the text to give it more texture.

evilbunny Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 But doesn' t the alpha mask ignore the colors? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Alpha mask ignores colors in the mask, not in the destination image. Also, to get the "holes" in the B, use Magic Wand to select globally. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flip Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 The reflection isn't the best. Try using a transparent gradient after you blur. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ふしぎの国のアリス Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Tried it twice: On my second attempt I used SinWaves instead of blur - thought the result was a little more fun. The skinnier fonts don't really "show" the picture but I like the overall effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have your text on a transparent background? Did you use the magic wand tool on the background layer and then went to the layer with the image?
