Hi I'm attempting to insert an image into a transparent chip bag but I get no result. I'm using a chip bag png file but after that I can't select it or do much with it. I wan't to be able to insert any image I create into it for future use. I thought its almost like drawing inside of the object like illustrator does but I don't think thats the correct rout. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank You.
The bag in your screen capture does not look transparent. If it is transparent there would normally be a checkerboard pattern like this:
Or maybe like this:
On the other hand, maybe it is on top of a white layer and that's why it doesn't look transparent.
Advice would be different, depending on whether it is transparent or not.
Since I can't see that it is transparent, I will assume that it isn't.
Photoshop does not have a "Draw Inside" mode but you can get similar results. Below I put the bag on one layer and the chips on a layer above it.
Next, add a Layer Mask by clicking the icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.
Select the brush tool, and use a soft feathered brush.
Click on the mask to make it active (it will get a thicker line around it in the Layers panel when it is active).
Paint in the mask with black where you want to hide the chips.
