Hello All,
Need some help with working with text and images.
I have an image of an ocean. Next, I want to use the image as the fill for text (ABC Corp) . The end result should be just ABC Corp and no ocean except for being the fill for the text.
I'mt having a hard time figuring this out..(new to Illustrator) . Any help on this would be great or if I need to provide any additional info please let me know!
Thank you
Bring up the Transparency Pallet; Position your live text on over the photo. (I didn't have any ocean handy, so I used grass)
Select the photo and the text together
Click Make Mask, and check the Clip and Invert Mask boxes.

When I do this, the image turns to black and white
