Create eye-catching PHOTO-FILLED TITLES in Photoshop


In this easy to follow tutorial we are going to pull off a filling text effect with an image. We are going to type text and use a clipping mask to clip the photograph so that it only shows through the letters. Because the letters are on an editable type layer, you can change the text even after the letters are filled with the image.
