Affinity Photo Cut Out Text

[Sunset]

Is there an easier way?

1 open a photograph 

2 type SKY 

3 Ensure the background photo is not locked

4 Copy the background photo

5 Select the text SKY

6 Go to Edit and Paste Inside

7 It looks like it hasn't worked and SKY has disappeared

8 Check the layers, it's there.

9 Turn off the other layers, and SKY is now filled with a picture of the sky.

Try this:

 

1. Open a photograph

2. Type SKY

3. Go to the Layers panel

4. Drag the background layer upwards until the photo is clipped to the text

Thanks Alfred, I did try that - it works with shapes in Designer - but I just couldn't get the pesky layers to do what I wanted at all. I shall try again.
