I never really wrote a photoshop tutorial before, but there's first time for everything, hehe.
It's pretty basic, yet useful for some members.

Lets start.

1. Open your image

2. Add a text to your image

3. After we do that, we need to double click the background layer to unlock it, so we can move in on top of the text layer. This looks like this.

The text will become invisible, but don't worry.

4. After we're done, right click on your image layer, not the text, and select "Create Clipping Mask"

5. This will be our final result. Note: I have added a new layer with the Hack Forum's background color so you can see the text better.

You can play around with it, adding special effects, and other stuff, and make it look even better!

That's it, guys! You made it!
Thank you for reading this tutorial!

Good tutorial and easy to follow, even though I've known about this lil trick for a while it is really good when making signatures. :)

Just want to point out, on the big picture posted, the text looks so choppy around the edges, at the top in photoshop switch it from sharp to smooth.

No.. it's not the font, by default fonts are sharpened, he can switch it to smooth and it will remove the jagged edges.

"your knowledge has left me speechless" Lmao, so stupid. so ignorant.
