Default Inserting an image into transparent text



Suzanne,

OK. I see you're working in Photoshop 5. I cannot remember what features were available in that version, but I'm fairly certain clipping groups was not. So, forget about that technique.

Open the EPS logo file in Photoshop (File | Open). You will be asked for dimensional information for rasterizing purposes. Enter numbers that are slightly smaller than the image file you're using (which, one hopes, also represents something close to your required final size).

Once the logo file is open, look at the layers palette. There should be only one layer, consisting of the logo on a transparent background. Ctrl-click on the layer in the palette. This should give you the "marching ants" around your logo. Hit Ctrl+C to copy the selection onto the pasteboard.

Now you can paste the logo into your image file and use that new layer to create the necessary mask.
