Hello All

If I remember correctly from my PhotoShop 7 Days you could create different parts of your project in seperate layers and make them visible or invisible using the eye tool for the layer. Does anybody know of a way using this tool, or any other that you can think of to fill in text using an image file. For example instead of text with normal black fill colour the text would be filled in with my image file which is maybe lying at the back or something.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
JayBee

Make a type layer in Ps as you like. Copy/paste/drag in your image and place as you like, making sure the image layer is above the type layer. You can temporarily reduce the opacity of the image layer for reference. Then with the image layer selected go to layer… create clipping mask (ctrl g).

Stack the layers as per the previous post, then use Alt+click at the separator line between the layers. The cursor will turn into the group mask symbol and provide the same functionality as the old layer grouping in PS7.
