No good
This is not a good way imo. very destructive, and your text gets ugly edges (aliased)...

The best way is to place the picture layer on top of the text layer (NOT rasterized). Now with the picture layer still selected, go to "layer->Create clipping mask". Done.
(shortcut alt-ctrl-g on pc, or click between layers while holding down alt-key)

Why this method is better:
- Faster
- You can still edit the text (not destructive)
- Text keeps the correct anti-aliasing on edges
- You can still edit the picture (e.g. change position)
- You can place several layers 'inside' the text if you want to do something more advanced.

  This video tutorial is very misleading to beginners. I have a tutorial on using clipping masks in my profile, but Chain83 has a real good description.

How did you get the text bigger than 72pt?

- With the type tool selected...
  you should see a box at the top allowing you to manually type any font size larger than 72pt.

- add a layer
  you can add a layer below the text then fill that new layer with whatever color you'd like.

Faster method
After rasterizing the text,
1) SELECT -> LOAD SELECTION
2) Press delete key (the background image should show thru the text)
3) SELECT -> INVERSE
4) Click on Background layer
5) Hit delete...done!
