I have an image that I captured from a movie and am going to use it for the Main Menu Background.
I can add text to the jpeg in the font, colo and manner that I want. Now what I'd like to be able to do is:
1) Curl the text around an object (say a head),
2) AND/OR have the text placed diagonally on the page (i.e. image).
Any ideas how ot fix this? Every time I try to enter text, the edges of the text is surrounded/selected with lines going around it....how do I stop that and have it stop turning my image red (Its supose to be brown, until I click it then it turns red), it isnt even using the correct colors that I set it at.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing 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!"

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.
This Q must be very old. Why can´t someone invent a sigle button for this I have tried all the things by the book but still when I try to lay text image with white background over an image the white is still there althoug I made it transparent. tried to sa for web as png-8, png-24 and gif. nothing works. To use magic wand gives bad result when applied to text? So what can I do? I am trying to place text over image. I know I could write it over the image but I need the text as a transparent layer some place else.

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

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm presently trying to create a logo for my website composed of just text. It includes the url and a distinct strapline.
The problem I'm having is that using the text tool to generate an image produces pixellated text at any resolution. I seem unable to get nicely formed text with rounded edges.
I have an image and I type a large Bold font over the image....then I make it transparent, but I don't know how to cut the text out with image imbedded so that the picture is "in" the text. Then I want to erase the picture leaving just the text with the background of the text being some of the picture.

The attachment is a PNG but doesn't seem to be showing up correctly. I'll try to both attach it and insert it..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
resize a canvas with 3D text.But want I want to know right now is how would you resize the whole image (make it smaller or bigger) with 3D text?Because when you make the image smaller, the 3D text stays the same size.

I tried with some tutorials, but they were only for simple images.
I have several *.jpg product drawings to which I want to add text (e.g., product name). I open the image and the image drawing fills the space (canvas?). I want to 'pull down' the bottom border to allow inclusion of text.

I tried the clone stamp but it's on a tile background so very hard to make it look good. I just want to redo the text because it was written by someone that does not speak English/American.
It's for a treasure hunt. I want text hidden in an image and it should only be visible when turning the contrast (ort something similar...) way up.

I am attempting to recover text behind black marker...
The text itself is black (written in marker), and is overlapped with a blob of black marker (again with the same marker in black).
How would I go about recovering this?
My attempts in Photoshop gave me very distorted words that were not readable.
I remember there was a way of doing this. I would like to remove text from a scanned image and have the background from where the text was previously so it can be edited.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do is wrap a text around an image.
For instance, I would like to say:
Georgia is on my mind.
However, I want to wrap this around an oval image
So, basically, the text, "georgia is on my mind" would wrap around the oval image making everything look round.
Can photoshop do this?
If yes, can someone point to a tutorial that will help?
if no, do you know of a *free* image/text editor that can do this?
