This text is not editable and not - as far as I know - movable (if anyone knows how to move it, tell me please). Go back to the original document with the textmask.īy choosing the Move tool when that layer - which is created automatically - is chosen - you can move the image inside the text to your desired position. Open the document with the image and select the wanted portion from it. Then not making a text outline is more flexible as you can still edit the text.Ĭreate a new document with desired dimensions.Ĭhoose the textmask tool (the one for horizontal text - the textmask tool is under the regular text tool) and set the parameters for font and fontsize and style. You still have to make a Clipping Path to limit the viewable area of the placed image to inside the text outline. You can however not place into the text outline in Illustrator. If you rather want a text outline to place into, you can do that also in Illustrator just like in InDesign. There are a few effects you can use on this image-in-text object. The text is still editable and you can select it with the text tool and write something else if you should wish to.Īt any time you can separate the two objects by selecting them and choosing Object/Clipping Mask/Release. You can select the image with the direct selection tool (white arrow) and move it if needed. The image will now be shown inside the text. In the menu Object choose Clipping Mask, Make. Select both the textobject and the image object.
Scale the placed image to the size you want it to appear inside the text. if you link to it, the image must accompany the AI document if you sent it elsewhere than your own computer).Ĭreate the text ON TOP of the image (can be another layer if you so choose but does not need to be separate layers). You can of course add a stroke, a shadow, a feathering for the filled textoutline after you have created it, and use transparency and blendmodes just as usual. Use the directselection tool (white arrow) to select the image and to move it so you see whatever part of it you want to see and also to scale it the way you want to. Choose your image and it will be placed inside the text outline. Check that you have checked Replace selected item. Then select either the text outline with the direct selection tool (white arrow) or the frame with the selection tool (black arrow).
If you do cut it and paste it separately on the page.). (Watch out: Depending on how you do this, you might get a textbound image inside a textframe. In the menu Text /Type choose Create Outlines. Select the text with either the Texttool or the Selection tool (black arrow). Choose a fat font and a fontsize that is good for filling with an image. If there are, email me and I will publish those methods as well. In Photoshop there might be other methods to do it that I am unawere of. In InDesign and Illustrator these are the only methods there are (as far as I know). This tutorial shows how to place an image inside a text in Adobe InDesign CS, Adobe Illustrator CS and Adobe Photoshop CS.
Go to File>Options>Advanced and scroll down to the "Show document content" section of the dialog and uncheck the box for "Show picture placeholders".
