Photoshop - Paste Photo into a shape

OK...so you have a shape made in Photoshop. You now want to put a photo into it.

It's pretty easy.

1. Open up your photo in Photoshop
2. Select the photo (CTRL-A))
3. Copy the photo. Then close it.
4. Go to your Spartacus file.
5. Select the desired shape layer in the layers palette.
6. Hold CTRL and click on the thumbnail of the layer. You should now see a selection around the layer.
7. Go to Edit and select Paste Into.

A new layer is created and your image is now "framed into" the shape. You can now transform (CTRL-T) it to fit.
