gumbo23 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I want to have a phrase made up of letters which each have a unique image within them. Imagine the letter M being filled with an image, instead of black ink. So I cannot simply have a single image sitting behind/within each letter. How can I set an image within the lettering of each character, and then assemble them into a single phrase? It's tough to explain, but hopefully you're getting the idea.

Fixx Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I would write the phrase, use it as a mask and group and move individual images behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Not easy if you want to edit the text afterwards, but if it's a short phrase you could: Create each letter of the phrase as a separate layer of artistic text and adjust alignment and spacing as required' Place the images in the document and then clip them to the individual letters: (Cats from Unsplash). IMO this makes it slightly easier to adjust the images to fit the letterforms, while retaining the ability to edit the individual letters of the text. telemax and gumbo23 1 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

PaulEC Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Another way, if you're using Publisher, you could convert the word to curves, convert each letter to a picture frame, and then insert a picture into each one. h_d and gumbo23 2 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can this be done in Designer too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that exact way, as Designer doesn't allow conversion to Picture Frames. They're a Publisher function.
