I have used photoshop cs for over a year and have just upgraded to cs2. In photoshop cs, I could select a layer, and press ctrl-G (windows) to group that layaer with the previous layer, and if the selected layer was larger that then layer below it, it would put the selected layer inside the layer below it. So If I had an image of a person, and the layer below was a rounded rectangle, I selected the person, presses ctrl-G and the person now fit inside the rounded rectangle. How do I do that in CS2? When I press ctrl-G in CS2, it creates a group folder with just the image I have selected in the folder.

Thanks!

In CS2, go menu bar>layer>create clipping mask.

There must be a keyboard shortcut, but there are so many that I can't remember them all, sorry.

You're missing a key: The shortcut is Option + Command + G on a Mac, and Alt + Ctrl + G on a PC :)
