I've been on this for 5 hours straight now and read a lot.

This i what I want to do

 

I put text just from the outlines from another layer. I´m doing as Google says. I choose both layers and go to the layer menu, and then it diffuses what I need to do.

 

i atach the file here for. but my dont have background of course.

 

It´s a tshirt design im working on.

Take care

Are you using Shape Layers? 

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Properties, Options Bar, Paths, …) visible?

Hi Peppe.  Can you have another go at explaining what you are trying to do?  I can see the ones and zeros at the bottom of the graphic.  Is it the starting point you want to control?

 

If you could do a screen shot of just element with its text perhaps?  Right now I am not getting it.

Are you trying to place text around the shapes in your design?
