I never knew about lock selection. That could've saved me much aggravation and time over the years! Lately I've been using layers to lock. So thank you for that. And the knockout text. Very cool!

[@CHARCHICHI]

Did not realize how simple it was! Thank you!

[@rowbyrowby]

Thanks! You made that easy. Wasn't sure what "effect" to use -- I thought it would be clipping mask. Knockout did the trick! ...Rowby.

You can do this in photoshop and also have it so it’s no destructive live type.
