In today's episode, we show you how to place an image in text in Photoshop!

Working With Text

Combining an image with text can be a super fun and effective technique. We start off with choosing our text and font. With our end goal in mind, we wanted to choose a text that was thick enough for the image to show through. After choosing a text, we adjusted the spacing of our text to our liking.

Clipping Mask 

After we chose our text, we brought our image into photoshop. From there we used a clipping mask to make sure the image was only shown within the text.

Styling

From there we added a bit of style to the image. We used a drop shadow to help the text pop and stand out from the background. We also went in and changed the color of the background.
