I'm trying to design a logo for my band. My idea is to have a fraction of a scenic image be duplicated in the shape of some text (my album name). I can't figure out how to do this.



Like that, but with text, not rectangles. Is there any way to do this?

On your text layer, right click → Text to path.
On your text work space, right click → Select → From Path. Now you have the selection on the text.
Choose your background layer as active layer, then copy your selection (Ctrl+C).
Paste the selection on new layer. Edit → Paste as → New layer.
