Little help on something I've forgotten!

[munrob]

Hey all,

I have a solid colored logo (white) and I want to fill it with an image I've taken. I've done this before but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it!

Could anyone shed some light on it for me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi are you talking about something like this?

 

[munrob]

Hey gedstar,

That's exactly it!

 

[gedstar]

OK all I done was to create the text in white and place the photo image above the text layer, crtl click on the text layers thumbnail to make a selection, then right click on the photo image and select create clipping mask

 

[munrob]

Ah,

The logo I have is White with no background so just a solid logo mainly lines and text. I want the image I ave to full the logo only. WIll that above work like it did for the text one?

Ta,

Can you post the logo in question?

 

[munrob]

This is it but in black. I want to fill the logo with an image rather than being black? If that makes sense?

Something like this?

 

[munrob]

Thanks the one! I knew it could be done! Just can't remember how!

 

[gedstar]

OK I used the Color Range tool to make a selection of the logo, placed the image above the logo layer and clipped it to the logo layer

 

[munrob]

Ah!

Thank you!

I've just started using PS CC so working my way around it.

Where's the colour range tool? Is that the pipette when clicking on the colour block?
