Bring the background image you chose earlier to the front. Set the secondary image to be the embossed text (you do this by bringing the Image Control plugin to the front, clicking on the box below where it says Secondary, and selecting the image from the popup list that appears). Select DisplaceMap (found in the Special category of the paint mode selector), and fill the layer filllayer with this. For my image, I set the BrightMap value to 255, you may wish to use a lower value to create a more subtle effect.

On many occasions you can get away with just ending at this step. However, I would like to illustrate how you can take this technique further.
