: How can I cut out certain parts of text? This is the logo I have in mind: I have been using white rectangles as blocs to hide the words like this: However, when I merge the layers

@Courtney577

Type out your text.

Make sure the type layer is selected and add a layer mask. You can find this in the layers panel (Window -> Layers if you don't see it). Select the square icon with the circle cutout in the middle.



Now use whatever tool you want to make a selection for the parts you want to hide.

I suggest using the pen tool (P) however you can use whichever selection tool you're used to using.



(If using the pen tool) Right click on the selection -> Make selection. Press OK on the next screen.

Now fill the selection with black using the brush tool (B) or fill tool (G).

use a mask, you'd still have to do it manually, just means you can alter it afterwards of you wont like it, plus nothing white to hide
