I went away this weekend and had a long car drive, so I made a couple tutorials. I searched web for this tutorial and didn't find it so I hope its cool.

1) Open up a new Photoshop document. 600X300 would be good.
2) Open up the photograph that you want in your text.
3) While your in the photograph window, Press CTRL+A to select all. Then Go Edit> Define Pattern. Press enter after it asks you to name it.

4) Go into your new document and create text. Use a thick font for best results.
5) Make the font stretch for your whole document.
6) Go into blending options on the text layer. Then go to Pattern Overlay. Choose your pattern from the drop down menu. Then adjust the scale so it fits the text.
