How To Place Text Behind An Image // Photoshop Tutorial

BY SPECIAL REQUEST! Here's How To Place Text Behind An Image In Photoshop. This was requested because I use this technique a lot in my thumbnails on KZread. Let me know if you have any other topics you'd like me to cover!
Also, I am, by no means, a photoshop expert... but I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I think are useful for people and someone specifically asked for this video.

    Hey Dunna, this is great! I definitely learned some things. The way I have always approached doing this was to select the object (you) and then copy it on a new layer that is in the foreground. So there would be 3 layers total. Bottom - backgroung (original image), Middle - Text, and Top - Object. This way you can still move the text around and not affect anything else. Thanks!

    Hair is definitely the toughest part. Once you've got your selection, if you select the marquee or lasso tool, you can click "Select and Mask" at the top and it will give you some extra tools to refine the selection.
