I must be getting dense in my old age..I have watched a half a dozen vids  and tutorials on how to use clipping masks (they we all different in their mythology due to different vers) and several threads have said forget PS, use Illustrator.


I saw this photo on the web and I am trying to replicate it. I did send the author a note and this is what he sent back. "I created a clipping mask between duplicated layers and then played around with the font (Showcard Gothic) sizing, layer style effects, etc..."


When I try to do this, I can do the clipping mask but I can old get the picture our from within the words. It looks like this function is just to make a hole in the picture so the lower layer can poke through. 


I suspect I need to just get the outline of the letters...and have the photo poke through the background as well. .which seems to be impossible in PS5.


I did try using a water mark but I couldn't get the same look..


Here is the picture..
