Hey Paintbrush I am using Corel Photo Paint X6, and i'm trying to create an image inside text and don't really know where to start. I'm watching youtube videos however, their setups on their systems are completely different from the original new Corel Photo Paint. I have no add on's and don't really know how to setup my system either. Please help! :D

:D Uncle+Max,
I'll have a look at it later – I've never tried that in PPaint. I usually use the Power Clip feature in Corel Draw.
Just type your text. You can outline it (right-click on a color), Click on no-fill at the top of the color palette (square with the X on it).
Now import your photo. Make sure it's large enough to cover your text (leave it near but not over the text). Click on it and go to Effects > Power Clip. You'll see a big black arrow on your page – use it to click on your text. Now your photo should be "inside" the text. Some editing options will show beneath the text. For example; you can move the photo around if it needs to be positioned differently.

If you want this for a website, you can export it as a PNG file or open it in PhotoPaint to add more effects first (drop shadow...). Choose the Save Selection option so you wont have the whole page – just your text.
