Prin realizarea mastii de taiere vom face ca imaginea sa fie vizibila doar in
portiunea ce se suprapune textului.
Pentru aplicarea mastii de taiere asupra textului vom avea selectat nivelul
imaginii iar din lista de optiuni vizualizata la un click-dreapta pe nivel vom
alege Create Clipping Mask.
Pentru selectarea unei culori din imagine vom utiliza instrumentul Eyedropper;
– in fine am aplicat un gradient (alb-transparent) deasupra imaginii pentru a
scoate in evidenta cel de-al doilea text pozitionat dedesubt.
Select the font you want, define the font size and set the properties of the font you want to make
transparent. In this case, the color of the font does not matter as it will be made transparent in a
few steps; select the color that makes it easy for you to see how the text fits within the image.
Adjust your text so that you are satisfied with its position. If you are using this method, once the
text is transparent you will not be able to move it.
Next, you will need to load only the text selection in your layer, in other words; only the pixels that
make up the text have to be outlined in the selection. The quickest way to do it is to use a
shortcut ‘Cmd + click’ (‘Ctrl+click’ for Windows) on the layer thumbnail. Once you apply this
shortcut only the text should be outlined. If not, make sure you have the text layer selected.
You can hide the text layer now by toggling the ‘eye icon’ next to the layer. Select the image layer
and use the ‘layer via copy’ shortcut ‘Cmd+J’ (Ctrl+J for Windows) to copy only the selected area
of the image.
At this point, you already have transparent text, but for the time being it is not visible. You will
need to use layer styles and image adjustment tools to make it stand out. As far as the layer
styles go, the most effective way to make your transparent text layer stand out is to use ‘Bevel
and Emboss’ effect. To add a layer style click the ‘Fx’ button in the layer panel and select ‘Bevel &
Emboss…’ effect from the menu. In the ‘Layer Style’ panel experiment with the different type of
bevel and emboss options and adjust the structure and the shading to make the text compliment
the image.
To make the text stand out further you can adjust the layer’s contrast, exposure or levels to make
the text brighter or darker – this you cannot do using the second method.
The final result emultates an engraving over the image, which, by masking the text properly, can
be enhanced if we add a subtle blur effect to make it look like if it was a handmade application
over the texture you happen to be working on. Also, keep a close eye in shadows – too dark
shadows will blow up your realism effect.
STEP 1
Start with a background. 72dpi and RGB mode.
STEP 2
Add some text, here I used galant (www.1001freefonts.com)
STEP 3
Add a layer style by clicking the little “f” at the bottom of the
layers pallette.
Add a dropshadow and a bevel, copy the settings shown here.
Note 2 things here that really make the glass “pop”
1. Change the contour, this gives the reflected look.
2. uncheck the global light and change the altitude to 53.
STEP 4
Here is the result, pretty uninspiring huh?
STEP 5
This step is where the magic happens!
In the styles palette, click on the Custom blending options. (you
can also do this from the layers panel)
Now pull the fill opacity all the way to 0 and the rabbit comes out
of the hat!
