13. PLACE AN IMAGE INSIDE TEXT
    It’s really easy to place an image inside live text. Just type your
    text and then place a suitable image directly above the text
    layer. Position the image over the text to make sure it covers it.
    In the Layers panel, hold down the Option (PC: Alt) key, hover

the cursor between the two layers until a small square with

a downward arrow appears, and click. This not only clips the

image inside the text but it also allows you to change the text

and move the image around inside the text.
