In this Photoshop tutorial we will replace the regular image in the photo with a text one.
The essence of the task is as follows: first, we reveal the darkest areas in the photo, then we replace them with text.
In the end you should have something like this:
For this effect, suitable photos of the following type: light background, a clear object with bright features and borders.
This cat is just perfect. In addition, the effect goes well with photos of business people, where there are strict suits. Passport photo will also work
I hope you have already decided on the photo and opened it in Photoshop.
Now go to menu Image – Adjustment – Threshold
Set the slider so that between black and white in the image there is a compromise.
The cat must be intact – with ears
Next, open the program notepad and write there some sentence without spaces between words, for example:
Now copy this sentence several times to get the cast text:
Copy this text and paste it into a Photoshop document:
If the text turned out to be rare – then copy this text and place it below so that it falls just between the lines and fill in the empty space.
Merge these two text pieces together and copy them several times to close all parts of the cat to them:
Now merge all the text layers into one.
Then go to the cat layer, grab the Magic Wand tool. , set the sensitivity to 32
and click on the white color around the cat:
Go to the letter layer and click Delete
Deselect. As you can see, the cat turned black again, although in fact there were letters on the black parts!
Create a new layer, fill it with white and place it under the text layer.
On your palette, the layers should be in this order:
Now the text layer has become visible. You no longer need the original layer with the cat – you can delete it.
Here is a cat in the second version:
