Tips for photo lettering
The word is the picture. These keep it readable.
Short, heavy words
Four to six letters in a bold, condensed font show the most photo through the letters.
A detailed photo
Cities, landscapes and crowds, with detail everywhere, read best inside letters; a plain sky shows very little.
A plain page around it
A calm background colour makes the photo letters stand out.
A small caption
The word is the star. A small line above or below it gives the details.
Questions and answers
What people ask before they start.
How is the word cut out of the photo?
The word is a photo frame shaped like its letters, over a window holding the same photo, so the picture runs on through the letters. To cut shapes out of your own design, use Tools → Shape cutout: click the areas to keep or cut away, and add the result as a picture.
Can I write my own word in photo letters?
Yes. Tools → Frame maker → Text turns what you type, in the font you pick, into a frame whose letters hold a photo. Drop a picture onto it, then download.
