Hello,
Firstly, I apologise if my terminology is a bit off in advance. I’ve a self taught, trial-and-error PS 7 user.
I have a shape layer with various effects applied. What I want to do is map another (raster image) layer so that it will only show where the shape exists – making it appear as if the image has been applied to the shape.
I have tried "grouping" (?) the image layer above the shape layer (alt + click I believe) but this just makes the image layer disappear entirely.
I know the above works when bother layers are raster based. Is it possible to do with a shape based layer as above?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J.
