Hi there i am just wondering if it is possible to have a photo of a group of people and then having a phrase over the photo and only showing the image in the letters for example . Having the word TEST written in block letters with the image as the fill instead of it being a solid colour.

Yep, anything's possible in photoshop. Try a tutorial like this one, which isn't exactly what you want but should give you an idea.

Opensource like GIMP (Gnu IMage Processor) can do that also.

Yeah.. what they said.

Uses a 'merge down' function. The alternate is make the text as a layer, and add it as a mask wiping out the inverse
