Step 12

The mask automatically masked out where we had a selection.


Step 13

Now for a few touch-ups. The levels seem off on the photo of the girl, so go to Image>Adjustments>Levels. Drag the black arrow to 34 as shown here.

Levels tool

Step 14

Now the color levels are a bit richer and better adjusted.


Step 15

Now let’s add a text on a path to the photo. Command-click (PC: Control-click) the thumbnail preview of the Layer 1 on the Layers palette. This will create a circular selection around the pixels in the earth layer.

Resizing planet

Step 16

Click the Paths palette tab and click the Make Work Path from Selection icon on the bottom of the Paths palette.


Step 17

With the Text tool, click on the left top side of the path we just made.


Step 18

Type in some text that matches the photo.


Step 19

With the Move tool, click-and-drag a corner of the text area and expand it so there’s some room between the earth and the text. Now we have a combined photo with some text.

    I was able to follow the steps and achieve the final result, but more explanation at each step would help us understand the tools and techniques used better. Right now, I don’t really know what Marquee or Work path does, although I used it correctly here; more explanation of these as and when they are mentioned in the steps would be very helpful!

    Thanks!

    It’s great but when I add the circular text, it’s not a perfect circle, some characters are on a lower level, even though I did everything as you wrote. Also, the girl’s right hand reflects the original red ball’s shadow.
