- [Instructor] So here is a simple technique. You see it all the time on magazine covers where you have the model's head overlapping the magazine masthead. Here's my starting stake with the type on top of the image. All I need to do is make a selection of this portion of the image and then copy that selection above the type. I already have an alpha channel with that selection saved, so I'll come to my channels panel. Command + click on the thumbnail of the alpha channel, return to my layers panel make sure that I'm on the background layer and then copy this selection to a new layer. Command or Control + J. And then just need to drag that up above the type. Simple as that.
