    Picture behind writing & feathering Photo

      Hello

       

      I am new to photo shop and I am creating a flyer.  I am adding a picture to the flyer but I want the picture to bleed behind the writing on the flyer.  How do  you do that?   Also  How do you apply a feather to a picture?  Thanks

          I don’t quite follow. Could You post an example of the effect You are looking for or a link to one?

          The Text would probably best be done in Indesign or Illustrator and the image imported there.

           

          And what do You mean with Feather exactly?

          On can apply a Layer Mask to a layer and then either apply a Blur-Filter to that or (in CS4) blur it non-destructively via the Masks Panel.

          Or are to actually trying to blur the Layer content? In which case one can apply Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur for example, preferably after converting the Layer to a Smart Object to maintain editability.
