PhotoImpact/Name Design Question

[djmeredith]

Okay, I stumbled upon this board and all the fabulous designs, which led me to download the free trial version of PhotoImpact 12. It was overwhelming at first, but I've come a long way in a week! The one "trick" I can't seem to figure out is how to do the name designs with the characters filling in the letters. I've tried a couple of different ways, but none of them seem to be "right." I tried stamping the images, which was a very long and tedious process; and I tried the "Texture Fill" tool without success. Can anyone help me figure this out??

have you searched online for photo impact tutorials?

Thats what I do with Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro when I want to do a specific effect.

Thanks, but none of the tutorials I have found so far show me how to do this effect. I'll keep looking though because I think I'm just missing some "little trick."
