Photoshop question?

[The Wildcard]

For example, if i have a scanned photograph of some mountains, I want to place a text on the image so that the text looks like it's coming out of the image.

I am using Photoshop 5.5.

Something like this....THE "TRANSPARENCY" LOGO

Just change the layer opacity 🙂 Try putting it to 50% or something.

Huh? So you want invisible text? What's the point? I'm not clear on what you're asking, but have you tried the Text Mask Tool (Alt + click on Text tool icon). Using it for text gives you a selection in the shapes of what you typed. If you use the Text Mask on a new, transparent layer, you can use layer options, etc, to make it more or less transparent over the underlying layer. I don't know if this answers anything, because I'm not sure I understand the question. 🙂

How about this? Is this what you want to do, but with a complicated background?

Hehe. I was thinking the same thing. Clear text? So...INVISIBLE text? 😉

Did you get my PM?

its called shadow... go to Layer>Effects>Inner Shadow....

also make sure you have the layer selected that contains your text

I don't see how that works. If i don't select the layer WITH THE TEXT, how is it gonna affect the text?
