Pic-In-Text
Software : Photoshop 6.0
Level : Advance

Concept: This is an interesting effect where we have selected two pictures and it will be placed in the text using Adobe Photoshop. This effect can be created using single wide picture over the text. We can move the picture after applying it to the text and bring whatever surface we want on the text. Here we have used eraser tool to mix the two pictures. You can also use advance masking technique for this purpose. Try to use thick font to get proper effect.

1. Create new file with desired size, 72 PPI and white background.

Keep black as foreground color.

2. Type the text.

3. We have used above image as 'Day' picture

4. We have used above image as 'Night' picture

5. Drag the night image on the file

6. Layer > Group with Previous (ctrl+G)

7. The Layer Palette will look like this. Name the layer 'Night'

8. Drag the day image on the file. Name the layer 'Day'

9. The Layer Palette will look like this

10. Drag the day below the night layer

11. Select night layer. Select eraser tool. Choose soft round brush (we used 65)

12. Erase the upper half of the night layer

13. Layer > Layer Style > Bevel & Emboss (outer bevel) + Drop Shadow
