Instead of using a separate picture in each letter, I used just one picture across all letters (It's the downtown Atlanta skyline). I'm not at home but am working on my laptop computer in our RV so don't have access to a lot of the pics on my desktop at home or to the Internet to download pictures. So I just used what I have.

Tutorial 3 - Using Masks

Method 1 - Using a preset mask

Method 2 - Using an open image as a mask

Here I used a picture of Stone Mountain in Atlanta as the picture and an outline of the U.S. and the U.S. flag in it for the mask.

Method 3 - Painting my own mask
