    Add background, add text, ctrl-click text layer icon to make a selection of it, delete text layer, click delete on keyboard while the backgorund is selected.

    My instructions said to ctrl-click the text later icon to make a selection of the text shape. You didn't do that.

    thanks a lot getadvice.. it got it worked out... it was very simple the way you have created the tutorial....

    however is this possible...

    instead of eraser brush.... can we turn that text as in transparent mask layer?

    another way of doing the same thing i believe?
