Hello
I have an image, in which I added a text, and want that text to act as a url link to another web page, how can I do this in PS CS4?

Please keep in mind that am a new user to PS, so if detailed help could be provided I would be very thankful Angel

Yes. Its same water different bucket though. Once you add text to an image your text is no longer text, its now all image. Hence image map. The other way is to slice the image up into table or divs which is just as ugly if not uglier.

If your interested in the alternative...
