In the past I have made a black background in Photoshop CC and then had text on it which I was able to cut through so that anything under the text would be visible.  Now I find that I forgot had to make the text invisible as well as the black background immediately under the letters. 

How do I repeat the process.  Photographhy by Robert scaled down.jpg

Hi

Just for completeness :

Norman's clipping mask method is what I would use here, but an alternative which may help in multi-layered docs is to reduce the fill on the type layer to 0% and set knockout to deep in Blending options. Note : the bottom layer has to be a background layer, otherwise the knockout will go all the way through to transparency.
