Text Masking An Image
This tutorial shows you how to use the “Horizontal Type Mask Tool” to cut the text out of an image so that you are left with very unique text, this tutorial can be applied to any image to get a really nice effect.
Step 1: First of all you need to get any image that you want and open it up in Photoshop (I used this image for this tutorial)
Step 2: Now click and hold on the text tool until the options appear below, and choose “Horizontal Type Mask Tool”
Step 3: Now just write the text you want as you normally would so it looks like below, when done press the tick button on the top toolbar and you will get a text outline selection:
Step 4: Now simply press CTRL + Shift + I and press delete this will delete everything outside of the written Type mask and just leave you with the finished result as shown below:
This can be used on any image and the result can be implemented into any future designs or projects,
