This text effect is used in many websites, signatures, and graphical work. Its a very important skill to know.

Step 1

Start out with an image you'd like in the text. I selected a random naruto anime image. Set your foreground color to white, and type the text you'd like (like above).

Step 2

yeah used this a lot myslef :P

nice tut man, i really think you need the stroke around it to define what you are actualy saying, otherwise you tend to focus on the img more then the txt

i think that you need a bit more stroke around to make it look more stable but still cool tut
