How to make a see-through to image text effect in Photoshop

 

This is a really simple trick to creating an ordinary photograph with some text into an engaging image. I also have a GIMP version!

1. Starting

• Open your chosen image in Photoshop
• Now, add a New Layer – Fill with a colour that matches:
• I used a Dark Blue: 1a2932

2. Adding Text

• Grab the Text Tool – make a text box, same size as image
• Type your ‘text’ in capitals
• Settings: Font: Gill Sans Ultra Bold, Size: 720px, Justify: Right, Spacing: 600, -100, (Dependent on image size, mine is: 4592×3506 pixels)
• Space out your text best as possible, as shown:
• Click the image to check settings:

• Then simply, select your Image Layer (make sure it is unlocked – double click), and ‘Right Click’ > Create Clipping Mask:
• Thanks Kevin for the detailed advice!
