Hiya all,
Okay, I have been using Fireworks for years and finally decided I must teach myself how to do this stuff in Photoshop…..mainly because Photoshop is so damned fast and I can no longer spend 6 hours on one illustration anymore wiating for Fireworks to catch up!
OK, I am trying to add a mask to text to add scratches to the lettering.
This is an example of what I want to do in Photoshop.

I made this in Fireworks and in there all you do is put a black and white "mask" image (containing the scratches) over the text vector, highlight both objects and then select Group as Mask. I have been studying masks all week in Photoshop and still cannot find out how to do this very simple task!
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
