ok, convert the text to outlines, then use the pathfinder tool "Add to shape area" then expand, then select photo underneath, then make clipping mask

just tried it in cs2

it should do, but i shift select both, press ctrl + 7, and it all goes the white colour of the text.

The text is hand drawn in paths by me, so i grouped it, then selected that, the photo, and then pressed ctrl 7, and it all goes white.

Try drawing a rectangle over your illu as big as you want it to show up, and mask that - then export.
