Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a giant text behind the man, yet still in front of the leaf wall, an effect often used in magazine covers and social media content. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Text behind object effect makes the design feel layered, like a magazine cover. The method is simple, the text is placed on top of the photo, then the subject is copied to a layer above the text.

Step 1: Large Text

Open the photo of the man in front of the leaf wall. Select the Type Tool, use a large, blocky font, and type green across the back of the head. Set the color to light cream to contrast with the leaves.

Step 2: Select Subject

Select the background photo layer, then select Subject. The man is automatically selected, including his hair and shoulders.

Step 3: Subject to New Layer

Press Ctrl J to copy the man to a new layer named Subjek. Drag the Subject layer above the text layer in the Layers panel. Instantly, the text appears to be behind the man, yet still in front of the leaf wall.

Step 4: Adjusting Text Position

Select the text layer and move it with the Move Tool until the head covers part of the letters. The text remains readable because our brain fills in the missing letters.

Step 5: Depth

Add a soft drop shadow to the Subject layer with 35% opacity, so the man appears as if standing in front of the text. Lower the text opacity to 90%. Save as PSD to keep the text editable, then export as JPG.

Done!

Done. We have created large text, selected the subject with Select Subject, copied the subject to a layer above the text, adjusted the position, and added depth with a shadow. In the next episode, we will create icons and graphic elements with the Shape Tool. Need product photo editing for marketplace, photo retouching, poster design, or social media content?
