Placing Images in Text in Photoshop Here's a tutorial on how to create pictorial writing in Photoshop.
The first step is to create a blank layer, then fill it using the color you want.
I'll fill it with white.
Next, write your text on the canvas using the Horizontal Type Tool.
Adjust its size and position using the Free Transform command.
Make a selection around the text then activate the white layer and hit the Delete key.
This way the selection will be erased so that the photo below will be visible.
