Hi,
I’m using photoshop 7.0
I need to add text to an image as follows:
– The image is colour. I want to make the top two-thirds of the image black and white while the bottom third remains as a strip of the same image in colour. (I can do this bit!)
– The text I want to add as a separate layer over the black and white section of the image but will be transparent (like doing white text and setting its properties to "overlay" or "softlight" so that you see the background image through the text – text will be embossed, drop shadowed and outer glowed).
– However, I want the text to be colour. ie it is on the black and white part of the image but the parts of the image that are seen within the text are actually the original colour of the background image, not black and white like the parts of the image surrounding the text. (ie. the colour of the image only shows through where there is text on top).
This is for seating cards for a friends wedding. So the text will be someone’s name. I need to do lots of versions with different people’s names on. So I need to be able to type different people’s names and each time retain the effect of colour from the background only showing through in the text while the surrounding background image stays black and white (except for the bottom third of the background image which always stays in colour as mentioned at the start (the text goes over the top two thirds of the background which is black and white)
Any ideas? I’d love some help!
