Photoshop help
I have the trial version of Photoshop CS.
I made a texture for a word I have typed out. I need to insert this word on top of a picture I took of my car. Only the letters can be visible, that way you can see between them and in them (holes in R, B, O, etc.) where the picture is. Get what I'm saying? Just a quick short writeup would work. TIA.

Also, how do you get the texture to appear on the letters?

Re: Photoshop help ([jdm dc2])
There are two easy ways you can do this. If you have the texture in a photoshop document that is divided up by layers, and the texture is on its own layer, simply drag the texture layer onto your other image. It will be seperate and you can move it around and stuff.
If the texture layer is not seperated from it's background layer, and the background layer is a single color, use the magic wand tool to select the background, (hold the shift key while clicking to select multiple areas like inside of a P), then go to the titlebar at the top and click SELECT>Invert Selection. Your letters will now be selected instead of the background. Hit ctrl-c, or EDIT>COPY, then click on your image, and hit ctrl-p, or EDIT>PASTE.
If you want it on a new layer so you can move it around easily, create a new layer from the layer panel and paste onto that layer.
If the magic wand tools doesn't work well to select it because there are different colors, you have to use the eraser to wipe out the background and then drag the letters, or use masking to select it.
If you have any questions my aim is PredatorGSR, I'd be happy to walk you through it.
