PhotoshopCS v8 — I’m trying to create a complex mask to place over a 4/C photo of a person (head/shoulders shot). That mask is to be created from text–ie a very long, copy-heavy paragraph (hundreds of tightly packed, tightly leaded characters).
The idea is that when the mask is complete you can still read the text while making out the completely discernable 4/C features of that person masked by the text. Incidentally, the photo is an outlined shot so that there is a very definate line between the persons shape and the white background. — might help you to visualize it if you think of it as a person made out of type??
If anyone can actually understand the above problem I describe and has a solution, please help.
