Also, I am, by no means, a photoshop expert... but I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I think are useful for people and someone specifically asked for this video.

Using PS 2021, and Subject Selection has improved quite a bit FYI. much easier to get a selection started, especially if there is decent contrast between the subject and the background. Thanks for the video! :-)

Thank u! been asking youtubers who create tribute videos of series and movies and they use text behind a photo..but now i understand that they probably just use photoshop lol

[casualgamerlj]

Thank you so much!!! This is awesome. I just applied this to a thumbnail I was working on.

[MrEddieNunez]

Wonderful video! I always wanted to learn this technique!

[dantrixter]

Great video I’ve just stated using ps because I want to put text behind objects this really helped 👍🏼

[mustafajackson]

This was a helpful Photoshop tutorial.

[RawloftheDead]

That's pretty cool. Thank you Dunna. You rock

[dannyderrick]

Hey Dunna, this is great! I definitely learned some things. The way I have always approached doing this was to select the object (you) and then copy it on a new layer that is in the foreground. So there would be 3 layers total. Bottom - backgroung (original image), Middle - Text, and Top - Object. This way you can still move the text around and not affect anything else. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this video easy to follow.

so interesting watching your editing process! I personally use Canva 😁 there's a feature that let's you erase the background so I just layer to pictures over each other and sandwich the text in between haha

[ThisIsTechToday]

Wow...I've been doing it the hard way...Thank you!

[Reddeaddreams]

Thank you it helped me in learning something new will try it for my next thumbnail

[ericthestone]

Another great video, thanks Dunna! #edmontonstrong

[TheSpiritualWalks]

Thanks buddy, the first step worked like a charm on my thumbnail!

[PhotoGearFun]

Very well done thanks for the great info! I use Affinity Photo for my thumbnails I will figure out how to do something similar using the principles you have outlined. Cheers.

just a quick question, does it work well with if there's a lot of hair going on in the picture ? 😂
