Gooday to all,
i'm new in the forum and a newbie in photoshop. I've to do a flyer for a music band, and i have to substitute a shaped image with another. This second one should take the shape of the original one on the same layer. How can i do it?

Thanks a lot
 
OK

I made a selection of each part with the Pen Tool and grouped them layers, then open up your photo and place it on top of the group adjust size to suit and Clip the layer to the group layer

No just make a selection of each part and CTRL J to copy each part to it's own layer, once you have all the parts selected select all the layers by shift clicking each one and then hit CTRL G to group them together.
Open up the photo and place it on top of the group and then right click on the photo layer and select Create Clipping Mask
 
Just in case you want to add different photos to each section

Make a selection with the Pen Tool

Right click and select Make Selection

CTRL J to copy that selection to a new layer

Add your image to the top of the layers stack

Right click and select Create Clipping Mask

Repeat for each section

If you want one photo in all sections
Repeat the steps above to create each section on a new layer
selection 1.jpg

Each selection on it's own layer and layers selected then hit CTRL G to group the layers
select layers.jpg

Resize image to cover all of the sections and again right click to create clipping mask

Result

Hello and welcome to PSG.

Do you mind if I ask you a question about the image? Is this a pre-made template mock-up?

I ask because it appears to read "YOUR IMAGE" in each of the cells. If this is a mock-up that uses smart objects, the work is already done for you and it would only take a few minutes to add the images to the cells.

Just curious.
 
There's no problem with that Frankie! People use them all the time and it just makes our job much easier. If you post or link us the original file (mock up) we can demonstrate how to use it. It will certainly make your life easier.
 
Thanks for that!

Just in this example I went to the bottom layer and added a photo above that layer and created a clipping mask as I previously described, you'll need to resize the photo to fit!
Then I selected layer 3 and added another photo above that layer and again clipped it to that layer

Forgot the mention you'll need to disable the already clipped layers
