    Is there a way, in PS CS2, to add an image layer over text? What I mean is if I have some text, and I instead of having the text be a color, i want it to be camoflauge (I have a gif image of some camo), how can i make just the text be camo instead of black, red etc.? I know this has to be possible...but I just can't figure it out. Any tips are appreciated.

    Yes it's possible.

    Open your camouflage image with Photoshop. Go to Edit -> Define new pattern. Save it under the name you like. Then you can use it on your text by going to the Blending Options of the text layer -> Pattern Overlay -> Select your saved pattern.

    Good luck!

    Even quicker way would be by creating a clipping mask
