Adding photos to text in Silhouette

1- Open silhouette studio. Click on the text icon.

2- Type your text. Click on the text style panel.

3- Select your font. When inserting photos in a font, try to select a font that is thick so you can see the most of the images. I am usingCaptain Jackby SmartDesigns.

4- Adjust the character spacing of your text. If you only use one photos this will give a better effect. If you use more than one photos you may not need to adjust the character spacing.

5- Select the text and right click. Ungroup.

6- Go to file >merge.

7- Select your photo.

8- Place your image over the letter you would like it to be inserted to.

9- Select both and then click on the modify panel. Select intersect. This will only leave the photo when the letter and photo touch.

10- Your image is now in your text.

11- Repeat the above steps to fill the rest of the letters.
