 Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:15 pm Post subject: Transparent Text with a difference - help sought ASAP |
 |
|
Hi - I thought i was more or less ok at photoshop! However - a friend of mine has asked me to do her a bit of work with a particular theme. Transparent text - No problem - I can hanldle that easy! BUT!
She wants the picture in the large text to be like the original photograph. with the rest of the photograph in a kind of sepia effect - the attached picture is more or less what she had in mind. I have have been at it for two days - studies lots of tutorials on youtube and it seems to escape me - Any help much appreciated -
Thanks in advance

Tried overlays and tried of course they work but by having the two layers the transparency only goes through one layer - If I turn the picture sepia then I can only make the text transparent with only sepia as the background - thanks anyway - so frustrating!

It's a black and white photo with a solid layer of beige set to screen at an opacity I don't care to guess at with type selection tool knocked out of it to reveal photo.

hi,
been re reading the post and see if i understands...
basically you want the picture that showing thru be untouched but everything else has a serpeia tone...
now i don't know how you got your layers setup..and that sort of important because that depends on where things are inserted... but
but just using the image youposted....
I dup image,
iselected the outline of the text... and i applyed a layer
i then deselected the mask and painted.... now that left the image within the text untouched....
another variation... dup, select outline of text and then a color adjustment layer and pick color... a mask is automatically created
