Mango Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I dont really know how to describe this so i call it 'text with background'. Hope you guys dont mind. I had a hard time figuring out how to do this. I really really need a clear step by step instructions as im a beginner. Thank you so much!

yellowman Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Use Alpha Mask to cut out the text from any background. Or use this tutorial for most simple way to do that. Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) next time, just edit the title of the orriginal thread-- use the edit button on your post, the full editor and you can change the title anyway to the subject at hand- create the background you want to be inside your text add a new layer add the text you want to this new layer in a solid colour- black works just fine set magic wand tolerrence to 0 hold shift and selcect outside the text on the text layer use the layer window to select the background layer hit delete delete the text layer hmm yellow beat me-- didnt thinkl of using alph masks Edited July 24, 2011 by mountnman Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.
