[Tips]

Kasam's tutorial suggestion is good, except it may not work in many versions of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

Since Daryl didn't specify which version of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, nor which computer platform, we've posted a GENERIC tutorial which will work in most ALL image editing programs that support layers.

See: http://www.photoshop911.com/type/image_in_type.html

Please ALWAYS let us know which version!
Others are encouraged to add other methods of doing this trick.

Yes, it's a generic technique that's worked in ALL versions of Photoshop and other image editing programs back since version 3.



Any time you have an ACTIVE SELECTION you can go to
another layer with an image on it and "pick up" that image
into the selection using the "Command / J" (Cntrl/J) command
which is the "float" command... meaning: you'll "float" a copy of
the image encompassed in the selection.

Additionally, you can COPY any image from another layer or file,
and then use the command "Paste Into" (since PS version 2)
to PASTE the image INTO the active selection.

Selections are your friend.
Selections mean EVERYTHING (almost) in Photoshop
Learn Selections, and everything you can do with them and you'll
probably know more than most other Photoshop users who
don't know selections.

thanks for that i'll give it a go i've just started learning with photoshop cs2, all these photo editing programs are a bit complex for my liking but im sure i'll get the hang of it in no time.

The problem is...

NOW we all have to learn CS3 !

Those darn Adobe people are relentless!
