Question

What steps do you need to follow in order to use type characters as a clipping mask?

Answer 1

To use type characters as a clipping mask, follow these steps: create a text layer, select both the text layer and the layer you want to clip it to, and create a clipping mask.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use type characters as a clipping mask, you need to follow the following steps:

1. Create a text layer with the desired type characters.
2. Select both the text layer and the layer you want to clip it to.
3. Go to the 'Layer' menu, choose 'Create Clipping Mask' (or use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+G on Windows or Cmd+Option+G on Mac).

For example, let's say you have a layer with an image and you want to use type characters to show only a section of the image. You can create a text layer with the desired characters, position it on top of the image layer, and then create a clipping mask to achieve the effect.
