How To Fill A Shape With A texture






The first thing you do is open up the texture you want to fill the shape with.
Then you goto Channels, click on the small black triangle to create a new one, save it as #4. Once you do that, goto #4 and draw your shape (It should be black).
The next thing you do is go back to the RGB channel. (DO NOT DE-SELECT)
You should see the Marquee, just as you drew it (DO NOT DE-SELECT). You now need to copy the shape by doing (CTRL C) Goto File>New. You do not need to change the dimensions, just push ok.
Now do (CTRL V) which will paste the shape on to your new canvas.
