EDITING - CLIPPING MASK
Clipping Mask is basically putting a graphical image inside the text.

Step 1 --> Create a new canvas layer with a width/height/resolution of your choice.
Step 2 --> Choose a font and write down the text.



Step 3 --> Use an image of your choice that you'd like to have inside.
I'm using this one.



Step 4 --> Select the image and hit on Ctrl, C (copy)
Step 5 --> Select the window where you typed the text and hit on Ctrl, V (paste).

This is how your layers panel should look like. (If your layers panel isn't at the front of your screen, go to Window --> Layers.)



Step 6 --> Click on the 'Alt'-key and move your mouse between the text layer and the image layer.



Step 7 --> The cursor has now changed into the 'Clipping Mask' cursor. Click one time for the effect to take place.



Step 8 --> Change color of the text (which was black) to the color of the background image (to white in this case).
Step 9 --> Click on the 'Move Tool' to change the position of the image to your choice.



You might want to add a stroke or something to make the text more visible. This is my final outcome.
