this is kinda driving me crazy. I know to set up a text layer and make it a clipping group, to mask off an image above it.
Used to be, in older versions of photoshop, you’d create a layer mask, make sure you are working on the mask via the layer pallette, then click the type tool, and type right inside the mask. viola.
now, version 7, it doesnt seem to work this way, even if i use a vector mask. as soon as i click the text tool to the canvas, i get text on a new layer.
is the clipping group think the only way to get a vector type mask now? I cant figure out a way to type text inside a mask…
