I suggest creating mockup templates that do not contain smart object files the are Raw, Vector, Jpg a Png. Those mockkup templates can only be update using replace content the user has to supply replacements that are the correct size. My mockup scripts edits option does support Mockup templates that contain Smart Object layer that contain RAW and Vector that need replacement. If the Script uses Replace Content instead opening the object it has no knowledge what size the object replacement should be so it can not use any size replacement file the replacement object must be the correct size aspect ratio and resolution for the replacement to work correctly. However RAW and Vector files are not supported by Photoshop so a Photoshop Script can not open those object for the script would lose control to ACR or Illustrator would take over. Some are Raw files objects other are vector file objects most are Photoshop supported image files objects. The problem is automating the replacement Process. Or use Replace content and then adjust the replace object to work as it if had the correct size. If the replacement object is not the correct size you may be able to open the smart object and edit in the replacement content. If the replacement object is the same size aspect ratio and print resolution you can use layer>smart objects>Replaces content. But if you select the contents, on the right, then you can move (and scale) the background inside the type.You can manually replace the a smart layer content many ways. If you select the frame, on the left, then you’ll move the type along with its contents. The layer consists of two parts: the frame and the content. You’ll see a thick gray border around the layer when it’s selected, but that won’t appear when you choose a different layer or save the file. Here’s how it looks: the background is now incorporated within the text layer. Your Layers Panel will now show just one layer. Step 17: Put the background in the frameĭouble-click the background layer to make it into a regular layer, and Photoshop will automatically put it into the frame. Here’s how the frame layer looks: you can just make out the text as blue outlines. As it’s a text layer, it will use the text as its name. Select the text layer, and choose Layer > New > Convert to Frame. I’ve set the word London so that the ascender of the ‘d’ lines up with the clock tower. Step 14: Add your textĪdd the text as before.
#How to add an image to a layer in photoshop cc download
We’ll use this image of London from Wikipedia, which you can download here. Photoshop CC 2019 has a new and easier way of producing this technique. The top of the forest now blends into the lettering, with the bottom part fully visible below it. Drag it to the top of the layers stack, above the Type layer, then use Command Option G / Ctrl Alt G to use the type layer as a clipping mask. Select the background layer and use Command J / Ctrl J to duplicate it to a new layer. Press D to make your foreground and background colors the default black and white, then use Command Backspace / Ctrl Backspace to fill the selection with the background color. Make a new layer beneath the text layer, and sketch out a rectangle with the Rectangular Marquee tool, covering all the text. Position it towards the top of the image. Step 9: Add your textĪs before, create your text in a bold sans serif font. This image of a forest comes from Wikipedia, and you can download it here. In this version, we’re going to make a word stand up on top of the background. Here, I’ve moved it so that the surfer is fully visible inside the letter R. You can move the surfer layer independently of the text, and it will move inside it. But the surfer is positioned a little awkwardly. This will give you a new white background. Make a new layer, and choose Layer > New > Background from Layer. That checkerboard background appeared when you turned the original background into a regular layer. Here’s how it looks: the background will only show up where it overlaps the text. Here’s how the Layers Panel should now look – that little arrow to the left of the background shows it’s using the type as a clipping mask. Choose Layer > Create Clipping Mask, or use the shortcut Command Option G / Ctrl Alt G. Step 4: Move the backgroundĭouble-click the background layer to turn it into a regular layer, then drag it above the type layer. With the Type tool, click between each pair of letters and use the shortcut alt + left cursor key to bring the letters towards each other. To avoid getting big gaps between the letters, it’s worth bringing them close together. More after the jump! Continue reading below↓įree and Premium members see fewer ads! Sign up and log-in today.
