A few years ago, not sure if it was when I still has PS 7 (I have CS2 now) I read something, in a book, or a tutorial, and played around with it for awhile. If I took notes I can’t find them and can’t find where I read it.
The way I remember it, you open a photo (graphic) make a new box (any color) use the TEXT took set in MASK and type something on the new box. It’s selected (ants running around the letters). I’ve tried this (now) also with inverting the selection, so that’s not it.
Then the picture is dragged over the text, and at some point "group layers" is clicked and the text comes out with the picture/graphic in it.
This is one I made when I was practicing it at the time (I copy/ pasted the word on a black background several times)

I think what I’m forgetting is something to set up in the layers pallette, I’ve tried dragging them in different places first.
I’ve found other ways of doing this, ended up with letters filled with the picture, but trying to remember this one way.
Thanks
