Punch Text Through Image?

[Doug]

Anyone know if we can punch text through a photo so that the fill in the text is a photo instead of a solid color? Thanks in advance!

Hi Doug,

Thanks for contacting us. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Create a BLANK CANVAS with a white background.
2. Add text, shapes, or anything else you want to be filled with your image. Important: everything you add needs to be black.
3. Flatten your image by clicking the Cog icon up the top right next to Undo/Redo and then Flatten Everything.
4. Drag on your image from the Photo Basket at the bottom of the editor.
5. Change the Advanced Blend Mode on the Photo Properties dialog which appears to Lighten, and resize the image so that it looks correct.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Worked great. Thanks!
