How to "spotify" an image - tutorial (sort of)


Recommended Posts

Inspired by the post of GarryP I started experimenting converting layers back and forth. Apologies for taking MEBs avatar as an example. I wonder what else is possible? ;)

Step 1) Place image
Step 2) Convert into picture frame
Step 3) Convert into text frame
Step 4) Fill up the text frame with text - in this case the bullet (Alt+0149)

When you look into the level panel, the "magic" becomes clear. It is a cutting mask. You don't have to do these transformation orgies. Any text frame can be masked with any image. All you have to do is drag the image layer as a subordinate layer below the text layer (short horizontal line). You did this unconsciously when you converted the image into a picture frame in step 2).
