Photoshop :: Overlaying Text On Image

Mar 24, 2012

I've read how to fill text with an image by laying the image over the text and setting it as a clipping mask.  But I want to achieve a particular effect, and my text also has a surrounding shape.
 
Here is a snapshot of my layers:
 
You can see I have a group comprising the text, and a shape layer (with stroke) to define a border.  Both text and border are a mid-grey.
 
And I have set the group to "Color Burn" (over the image) to get an effect I like in the text. I would now like to achieve two separate things:
 
(a) retain just the text and border (with color burned image within), the rest as white (or transparent) 
(b) retain the text and border AND the paler image within the border, everything outside the border as white (or transparent)
 
In both cases, it would be far preferable to keep the text as a single editable text layer, and the shape layer as an editable shape layer, so that I can tweak both later.
 
I'm not sure how to achieve either!  The techniques I've see have the image on TOP of the text, but for my effect the image is UNDER the text.

Photoshop :: Overlaying Newspaper/cutout Text Onto A Face

Mar 4, 2009

I am trying to blend cut up pieces of a newspaper type thing into a person's face. I want the text to be visible, but not overt and blended into the skin. Any idea how to get this effect? I had tried by cloning the face and sticking the text between the two layers, which kinda worked, but i want a more "collage" kind of effect.

I would like a method of overlaying a text block on a picture and have the text change to a different (most contrasting) colour so that it stays readable. Is this possible - maybe with a Boolean function? If so how do I do it.

Paint.NET :: Overlaying Image Is Showing Checkerboard Background When Saved

Aug 21, 2012

I have an issue with a transparent image. So, I have an image of someone & I want to paste an image of a transparent heart around their face, which I also have. I open the heart in Paint.net & notice the checkerboard background, which means that the background is transparent. I then copy & paste it onto the image of the person but the heart still has the checkerboard background instead of being transparent & it is covering the face. Also, when I saved the heart image on my Mac desktop, the thumbnail had a white background but when I opened it in Preview & iPhoto, it was transparent.

PS: I have Parallels Desktop so I'm running Mac & Windows side-by-side.

Revit :: Overlaying PNG Images On JPGs

Feb 1, 2013

How to create very convincing 'Dusk Renderings', see: [URL]......
 
I tried this and despite my efforts being not quite as good as that produced in the video I was pleased with the result, as follows:
 
This is a cropped image created from a 'prt sc' of a Revit sheet view on which I had superimposed the png image over the jpg, having followed the instructions in the video.  However, when I came to export the project to dwfx, the jpg file (the sky) disappeared leaving only the png image as shown herewith:
 
Can I not paste one over the other within the Revit environment, and get the expected result perhaps?  Can the complete image only be achieved in a picture editing program?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Overlaying Two Views

Feb 12, 2013

oBaseView = osheet.DrawingViews.AddBaseView(otargetDoc, oPoint1, DrawingViewScale, kFrontViewOrientation, kHiddenLineDrawingViewStyle, "Default")oDraftView = osheet.DrawingViews.AddAssociativeDraftView(otargetDoc, oPoint1, DrawingViewScale)

 I have one base view and one draft view created all at point1 with the same scale. It seems to me the base view's center is at point1. But not that of the draft view.

Just wondering how to overlay them to looks like one view with the same origin point. Or what coordinate I adjust, so I can draw on draft view, but looks like I was drawing on the base view?

Some additional lines are needed in drawing but can't get from projection of a model.

After Effects :: Overlaying Cartoon Animation Onto Live Video

Apr 1, 2014

I've been using Illustrator to draw up some 2D cartoons and then learning how to animate them and incorporate them into music videos.  Small stuff like cute flying birds, suns, flowers, small characters, etc.
 
I have tons of Q's so maybe it's best to ask this question first ... are their good tutorials online regarding this subject (creating, drawing, animating cartoons to use as stand alone cartoons and also to embed over live footage)?  I'm aware of Lynda.com but wasn't sure if they have this sort of tutorial.
 
If I've illustrated and animated a character (flower, or bird, or cartoon person dancing) ... what's the best way to incorporate that into my live clip?  Let's say i have a girl singing and want the bird to fly across the screen, or onto her shoulder.  Would I do this in After Effects? Or would I export from After Effects and then do the overlaying in Final Cut Pro (which I'm using to edit my videos)? 
 
I exported a 10 second cartoon I made of flowers lip syncing to the audio track that I'm doing the video for and when I rendered, the background was white.  I wasn't sure how to composite that onto my FCP video and so here I am....

Photoshop Elements :: How To Reset Text On Image Back To Basic Black Text

May 20, 2013

Using Elements 9 I was adding black text to a .jpg image. Somehow during the process, the text being entered defaulted to a "wavy, illegible set of characters". Spent 30+ minutes looking at FAQs and have given up. I want to reset to default simple clear black characters. Closing and restarting Elements does not resolve this issue. When ending a newly entered set of text - still get "wavy, illegible set of characters!"

Photoshop :: Justify Text Despite Image Text-wrap Inserted CS2

Apr 25, 2013

I am setting a book in Indesign CS2.I use "Text frame options" > align > justify on all my pages. On a page that was so justified, I inserted a picture using the "text wrap".  Soon as I did, the text stopped being aligned along the foot of the page (which looks rotten, because the facing page is justified and so the spread is now no longer aligned.
 
I tried to I use "Text frame options" > align > justify again, but now the option to align is now greyed out.

I want to make flyers for my band. I used to put text onto jpeg images using the Microsoft PAINT program but I want to get better at GIMP.

I really like some of the text(s) I make using the word art function in Micrsoft Excel 2010 but it seems I can't cut and paste them onto the image when using GIMP.

Is there a tutorial on putting text onto an image and making the text glow like a light saber?

AutoCad :: Exploding Text / Lines Appear Inside Text Like In Image

Oct 23, 2011

I am often using text within AutoCAD 2012. Here is what I do, look at the attachments:

1. Create the text using the mtext tool
2. Explode the text using the txtexp tool

But, when I explode the text, lines appear inside the text like in the image. I then have to explode the whole thing and delete these lines manually. Any tool or add-on to get around this annoyance every time I insert text.

Paint.NET :: How To Fill Text With Image But Keep Anti-aliasing On Edges Of Image

Sep 18, 2013

Here is what I want to do.  I have the letters 'XC' which I've played with a bit to look the way I want and due to anti-aliasing has nice edges.  Now I want to basically fill those letters with an image.  I can't figure out how to do this and keep the nice anti-aliased edges.
 
Current steps:

1. load image as base layer
2. Create new layer with text in it
3. using magic wand select a threshold that has smoothest edges on text layer
4. select image layer and copy the selection area... notice the hard edges of the finished result in the attached example.  I want it nice and smooth and anti-aliased.
 
How to do this more elegantly?  I've attached the basics of what I'm doing and the result.
