Textured Text Tutorial

[tacoX]

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

Select the magic wand tool, and select the text like above.

Step 3
Now, select your background image layer, and press CTRL+C (to copy). Create a new document and paste your selection.

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
