This effect is used everywhere you look, from magazine covers to movie posters, and usually involves placing some text behind a person's head. As we'll see, creating the effect in Photoshop is easy. All it takes is an image, some text, a quick selection and a layer mask! Let's see how it works.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what the final &quot;text behind object&quot; effect will look like when we're done:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/photoshop-place-text-behind-object-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"How to place text behind an object in Photoshop tutorial\" width=\"704\" height=\"447\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The completed effect.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>Let's get started!<\/p>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">How To Place Text Behind An Object<\/h2>\n<p>For this tutorial, I'm using <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/l\/dlXjD2w\" title=\"Get Photoshop CC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photoshop CC<\/a> but every step is compatible with Photoshop CS6.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Open your image<\/h3>\n<p>Start by opening the image where you want to add some text. I'll use <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/l\/41OajvP\" target=\"_blank \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this image<\/a> that I downloaded from Adobe Stock. I'm going to place some of my text behind the football player:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/original-image-no-text.jpg\" alt=\"The original image that the text will be added to\" width=\"704\" height=\"447\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The original image. Photo credit: Adobe Stock.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Add your text<\/h3>\n<p>Add your text to the image and position it in front of the object. If we look in my <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\">Layers panel<\/a>, we see that I've already added some text, and I've added a drop shadow just to make the text easier to see. I'll turn the text on in the document by clicking the Type layer's <strong>visibility icon<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/layers-panel-type-layer-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Turning on the Type layer in the Layers panel in Photoshop\" width=\"290\" height=\"314\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Turning on the Type layer in the Layers panel.<\/div>\n<p>And now we see the word \"PHOTOSHOP\" sitting in front of the image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/text-front-of-image.jpg\" alt=\"Adding text in front of the object\" width=\"702\" height=\"445\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adding the text.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Duplicate the Background layer<\/h3>\n<p>Back in the Layers panel, the image is sitting on the <a href=\"\/basics\/background-layer-photoshop-cc\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Background layer<\/a>. Click on the Background layer to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/select-background-layer-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Background layer in the Layers panel in Photoshop\" width=\"274\" height=\"211\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>Make a copy of the layer by going up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar, choosing <strong>New<\/strong>, and then choosing <strong>Layer via Copy<\/strong>. Or, you can quickly duplicate a layer from your keyboard by pressing <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/photoshop-new-layer-via-copy.png\" alt=\"Choosing the New Layer via Copy command from the Layer menu in Photoshop\" width=\"241\" height=\"120\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Layer &gt; New &gt; Layer via Copy.<\/div>\n<p>A copy of the Background layer appears between the original Background layer and the Type layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/photoshop-background-copy-layer.png\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the Background, Background copy and Type layers\" width=\"274\" height=\"224\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing all three layers.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Drag the copy above the Type layer<\/h3>\n<p>We need to move the new layer above the text. Click on the &quot;Background copy&quot; layer and drag it above the Type layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/drag-layer.png\" alt=\"Dragging the Background copy layer above the Type layer in the Layers panel\" width=\"274\" height=\"256\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the &quot;Background copy&quot; layer above the text.<\/div>\n<p>When a highlight bar appears above the Type layer, release your mouse button to drop the layer into place. This will temporarily hide your text from view:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/background-copy-layer-above-text.png\" alt=\"The Background copy layer has been moved above the Type layer\" width=\"274\" height=\"257\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The layer has been moved above the Type layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Choose the Quick Selection Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we need to select the part of our subject that's going to appear in front of the text. Photoshop has lots of great <a href=\"\/basics\/make-selections-photoshop\/\" title=\"Learn more\">selection tools<\/a> to choose from, but in most cases, the <strong>Quick Selection Tool<\/strong> is the easiest. I'll choose it from the <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshop-tools-toolbar-overview\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Toolbar<\/a>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/quick-selection-tool.png\" alt=\"Choosing the Quick Selection Tool from the Photoshop toolbar\" width=\"78\" height=\"169\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choosing the Quick Selection Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Select the area that will hide the text<\/h3>\n<p>Click and drag with the <a href=\"\/basics\/selections\/quick-selection-tool\/\" title=\"View tutorial\">Quick Selection Tool<\/a> to select the areas you need. In my case, I want my text to appear behind the player's head and part of his jersey, and also behind his arms and the football, so I'll click and drag inside all of these areas to select them. If the Quick Selection Tool selects an area outside of your subject, press and hold the <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key on your keyboard, and then click and drag inside the area to deselect it. You'll usually need to go back and forth between selecting and deselecting areas with the Quick Selection Tool until your selection looks good:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/selecting-object.jpg\" alt=\"The parts of the subject that will sit in front of the text have been selected\" width=\"704\" height=\"481\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The areas of the subject that will hide the text have been selected.<\/div>\n<h4>Viewing the selection in Quick Mask mode<\/h4>\n<p>To make the selected areas easier to see, I'll temporarily switch to Photoshop's <a href=\"\/basics\/selections\/feather-quick-mask\/\" title=\"View tutorial\">Quick Mask<\/a> mode by pressing the letter <strong>Q<\/strong> on my keyboard. In Quick Mask mode, the areas around the selection appear as a red, or rubylith, overlay. And here we see that I've selected only the areas that will appear in front of the text. I'll press Q on my keyboard once again to exit out of Quick Mask mode:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/quick-mask-mode-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Viewing the selection in Photoshop's Quick Mask mode\" width=\"704\" height=\"488\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Viewing the selection in Quick Mask mode.<\/div>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Refine the selection with Select and Mask<\/h3>\n<p>In most cases, your initial selection will suffer from rough, jagged edges. To smooth them out, click the <strong>Select and Mask<\/strong> button in the Options Bar. Note that Select and Mask is only available in Photoshop CC. If you're using Photoshop CS6, you'll want to click the <strong>Refine Edge<\/strong> button. Refine Edge offers most of the same controls for refining selections as Select and Mask:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/click-select-and-mask-button.png\" alt=\"Opening the Select and Mask workspace in Photoshop CC\" width=\"469\" height=\"102\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Opening the Select and Mask workspace.<\/div>\n<h4>Changing the View Mode<\/h4>\n<p>In the Select and Mask workspace or the Refine Edge dialog box, click the <strong>View Mode<\/strong> thumbnail:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/select-and-mask-view-mode.png\" alt=\"Changing the View Mode in Select and Mask in Photoshop\" width=\"358\" height=\"227\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the View Mode.<\/div>\n<p>Change the view to <strong>On Layers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/select-and-mask-view-mode-onlayers.png\" alt=\"Changing the View Mode in Select and Mask in Photoshop\" width=\"254\" height=\"180\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the On Layers view mode.<\/div>\n<p>This lets us preview how the selection currently looks in front of the text. And here we see that things are already looking great, at least from a distance:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/previewing-selection-with-text.jpg\" alt=\"Previewing how the object looks in front of the text in Select and Mask\" width=\"704\" height=\"446\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Previewing the selection with the text visible behind it.<\/div>\n<h4>A closer look<\/h4>\n<p>But if I zoom in for a closer look, we find some rough edges, especially around the glove and also around the helmet:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/initial-rough-selection.jpg\" alt=\"Inspecting the selection for rough edges\" width=\"704\" height=\"522\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The edges don't look as good when viewed up close.<\/div>\n<h4>Smoothing out the edges<\/h4>\n<p>To smooth out the edges, I'll drag the <strong>Smooth<\/strong> slider to the right, to a value of around 10:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/selectandmask-smooth-slider.png\" alt=\"Increasing the Smooth value in Select and Mask\" width=\"359\" height=\"206\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Smoothing out the jagged edges.<\/div>\n<p>And now those same areas look much better:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/selection-edges-smoother.jpg\" alt=\"The selection edges look much better after increasing the Smooth value in Select and Mask\" width=\"703\" height=\"527\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The result after dragging the Smooth slider.<\/div>\n<h4>Learn more about refining selections in Photoshop<\/h4>\n<p>There's much more to refining selections in Photoshop than what I can cover in this tutorial.

In the Output Settings area, change the <strong>Output To<\/strong> option to <strong>Layer Mask<\/strong>, and then click OK:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/output-to-layer-mask.png\" alt=\"Outputting the selection as a layer mask from the Select and Mask workspace\" width=\"362\" height=\"206\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Outputting the selection as a layer mask.<\/div>\n<p>Back in Photoshop, a <strong>layer mask thumbnail<\/strong> appears on the \"Background copy\" layer in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/photoshop-layer-mask.png\" alt=\"Photoshop converted the selection into a layer mask\" width=\"274\" height=\"219\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop converted the selection into a layer mask.<\/div>\n<p>And in the document window, we see the final effect with our text sitting nicely behind our subject:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/text-behind-object\/photoshop-place-text-behind-object-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"How to place text behind an object in Photoshop tutorial\" width=\"704\" height=\"447\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final effect.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
