How to cut text from images

When you edit photos, create collages and photos, and other graphics applications, it is frequently necessary to cut any element from the image – for example, you may need to cut out the image with text element. To make it easy if you have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and elementary skills in the graphic editor.

Instruction

1. Open Adobe Photoshop and load the photo or image where you need to cut the text by using menu commands File>Open. Then in the top menu bar click the Filter tab and select the option Extract. You can also access this function by pressing the key combination Alt+Ctrl+X.
2. You will see how your image will open in a separate edit window. In the left vertical toolbar, select the top-most icon – instrument marker.
3. On the panel located to the right of the figure, adjust the brush size, hardness, type, and so on. The mouse gently drag your object around the loop, completely closing the contour around the letters.
4. When the text is completely circled, on the left toolbar, select the fill, the second icon from the top, and then apply it to the circled areas.
5. Check if you have the raw text, and see how well the fill gave the form and the outlines of the text. If you are satisfied, click at the top right of the window, click OK.
6. You return to the main window, and you will see that the clipped text is now on a transparent background, and can be used for further editing and processing images.
7. You can paste the cut text into any new background, and change its shape, direction and color, and also freely move the text fragment on a transparent field, choosing the best location.
