How to get image to show through just on text?

[drstir]

Does anyone know how to make text on a layer reveal the image below - so the image would only appear on the text? Difficult to explain, but I'm hoping someone may know how to do it - either in Photoshop or Illustrator. Thanks,

Hi

Is this what your referring too

[drstir]

It is, Ged. Any chance you could explain the process? Thanks

[drstir]

And Ged... if I'm not pushing my luck, could you explain the process in Illustrator as well?

Clip the image layer to the text layer. Alt+click the bottom edge of the image layer. A small down arrow will appear to indicate that it's clipped to the layer below.
