How to make transparent letters in Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop Image editing software allows users to work with professional quality graphics tools. Photoshop has multiple tools, such as a tool to help color a hand drawn artwork, and even a tool to create high-quality graphics for business materials such as business cards and advertisements. One trick that users of Photoshop CS2 and CS3 can do is create transparent text, which allows an image to transmit information without blocking the background.

• Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3

one

Open Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3.

two

Create or insert a background image and then create a frame with a desired color.

3

Create a text frame on the color frame and enter the text you want.

4

Select the text frame with the "Selection" tool and open the "Effects" panel.

5

Change the "Opacity text" to zero percent, but do not change the "Opacity of the objects". Your text will tend to disappear from the image.

6

Click on "Object" and "Group" to group the text frame and the color box.

7

Go to the "Effects" group of the panel, and go to "Coverage Group". The text will reappear in the color box, but now you can see the background through it.

8

Make any other changes you would like, using background frames, color and other effects or blending modes

• For quicker results, pass the full color frame and the background color of the text frame to any color you want. Keep in mind that this can make it more difficult to place the text correctly in the frame.
