Displaying a photo inside a shape

- [Instructor] Photoshop makes it very easy to display…a photograph in some type or in some shape layers.…Now in this example, I've included a layer…that although it looks like it's a text layer,…I actually created the text layer…and then converted it to a shape layer,…because I wasn't sure…if you would have the same font installed…and I thought this would save some time.…So the goal is to clip the background…so that it only shows up in the text.…In order to do this, I'll change the background…into a layer and reposition it…so that it's on top of the text in the Layers panel.…

Then, I'll choose the Layer menu, Create Clipping Mask.…When I clip the top layer to the shape layer…that has the text in it,…Photoshop is restricted to only displaying…the photograph where there's content in the layer below it.…Let's add a shape layer,…I'm gonna tap the U key in order to select my shape tools,…and we want this custom shape tool.…Now I don't know what shapes you have loaded right now,…probably you just have the default shapes,…
