lndarcos Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I have a watercolor background and want the shape of Mickey Mouse to have that watercolor design inside the Mickey shape and the rest of the picture to be white. Similar to how text is done but I don't seem to be able to get the same results. Can someone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardneh Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Assuming the Mickey Mouse image is on a white background, put it on a layer above the watercolor background. Then Magic Wand the white area outside Mickey. Press "Ctrl I" to invert the selection, then press Delete on the keyboard. The watercolor should now show through a Mickey-shaped hole. You can clean up the edges of the hole using AA's_Assistant or Feather Object plugin effects.

Unless you are starting with a solid color silhouette of Mickey Mouse, the "Image in text" tutorial won't work without some adjustments. Try what I've suggested. Let us know whether it works for you.
