I'm always hit and miss with masks in PS. I don't understand them, I guess. I'd just rasterize and delete the selection, myself. Save a copy of editable text, though.

Haha very true but this was more me just messing around since I've got a fair bit of free time at work at the moment. I still cant work this shit out. It's easy enough to do when rasterizing layers but then I loose the paths. Might just sack it off and get going in illustrator.

your shapes will remain vectors in the paths palette, but you will probably have to work raster for what you want
- just use a maskmonospaced

I've been playing around with Photoshop and have two layers. One text layer over the top of a circle. I'm trying to cut that text layer out of the circle.
So far I've managed to convert the text layer into a shape and get the paths of both shapes in the path window. However after this I'm completely lost. I've tried everything Google has to offer and still no luck. Any advice folks?
