Just really want to know if anyone know's how to do these kind's of pics

Didn't see this post before but that picture is very cool.

The font is important there - you need something with thick chunky letters so you can see a decent amount of the image.

Basically write the text and draw them then rasterize the layer (right clicking a text layer will give you that option) and then select all the text - magic wand works well - and then invert the selection and make it a mask or delete it. You could then draw extra stuff like a frame on the mask.

The other way that I just discovered if you are only using text is to click on the T thing on the tools palette and you get a few options for text - one is to draw as a text mask. This saves you doing the rasterizing thing and means that the text is still editable. Again just write what you want and then you can delete everything else.

Hope that helps.

^ Easiest way is...

1) Get your huge font.
2) Put it on a new layer.
3) Click that font LAYER so you have the ants trailing over the font
4) Go to your original picture layer.
5) INVERSE and then DELETE.

Simple.

Here's a link to a text over image VIDEO tutorial:

^ that's a cool tutorial. Very simple but some nice technique - makes a text-shaped mask very easily.

You can also use the same sort of technique to do that with any shape.

here I basically opened a Jumpman, made a mask the shape of it - basically select it with the magic wand then click the layer mask thing and it makes a mask the shape of your selection. If you look carefully you can see that I feathered the edge slightly when I selected it so it gives a fade at the edge rather than a sharp demarcation.

Then I dragged an image onto it and moved it until it was in the right place.

Like the tutorial says it works better with text or shapes that let you see more of the image - the one in the post above is great, the lucifer one in the tutorial holdenmichael posted isn't so good - you don't see enough of the image.

A background more like the color of the image - black in these cases - would make things blend a little better too. Probably a more interesting image.

what are common methods to increase the quality of a picture like Djboodah's WDYWT pics?

 

[fongstarr]

^^^^Nothin beats just having a good photo. You can use common filters like sharpen or blur tools to give your picture illusions of better calirty (ie: foreground leave clear and blur out the background).....but that's just alot of work when all you have to do is take a better picture.....

for some reason when i save my PS in a regular file and then i click on it, it take me back to Photoshop program, anyone know why this is happening?
thanks

---

Could be 2 things. If you save it as a photoshop file rather than a jpeg or something then PS is the only thing that can open it.

Or you could have PS set as your image editing programe in Windows - to test that just try to open any image that you haven't used PS with and see what opens it.
