Put an Image inside Text in Photoshop

Place An Image in Text With Photoshop
Learn how to place an image in a text with Photoshop. The first step is to create an empty layer above the photo/background, then fill it with the color you want. I will fill it with black. Next, write your text on the canvas using the Horizontal Type Tool and adjust the size and position using the Free Transform command. Create a selection around the text and activate the black layer and press the Delete key. This way, part of the selection will be erased so that the image on the layer beneath it will show up.

Steps to put an image inside a text in Photoshop:

1. Open the Photo
Open the photo file that we will put into text by pressing Ctrl + O or by selecting the menu bar option File> Open. For this Photoshop tutorial, I'll use this image, singapore-river-255116, that I downloaded from Pixabay.

2. Create an Empty Layer
We need a blank white, or whatever color you want, layer as the basis of our text. Add a blank layer by clicking on the Create New Layer icon located at the bottom of the Panel. Fill it with a black color by choosing Edit> Fill. Select black color and then click OK.

3. Grab the Horizontal Type Tool
Click the icon Horizontal Type Tool then please set the font type, font color and font size on the options bar.

4. Type Text on Canvas
Click the mouse on the canvas and then write your text. When you finish typing press Ctrl + Enter.

5. Adjust Text
With the position of the writing layer as active, press Ctrl + T to invoke the Free Transform command. Please click on the outskirts of the Free Transform box and then drag it to enlarge or reduce font. Drag the mouse while holding down the Shift key will maintain the ratio of the size of your font. Click on the font and then drag it to shift its position. Press Enter when you're done.

6. Make Text Selection
While pressing the Ctrl key, click on the thumbnail text layer to create a selection around the text. Selection will be a visible line of text surround you.

7. Remove Selection Area
Click on black layer, then press the Delete key. Click the eye icon to the left of the text layer to eliminate the visibility options. Now you've seen photo should appear on paper.

8. Add Stroke
With text selection is still active, add a stroke by choosing Edit> Stroke. In the Stroke window, fill in width with 3 px, and click the color box to choose a stroke color. Click the OK button. Remove the selection by pressing Ctrl + D.
