Try these steps:

1. Click on the layer that has the shape you want the photo take on.
2. Use the Magic Wand to select the shape, remembering to select Contiguous.
3. Go to your photo, copy it and then return to your template.
4. Paste in your photo as a new layer.
5. You will see the marching ants around the shape you earlier selected.
6. Now go to Selections>Invert and the click Edit>Clear or use Delete on your keyboard. Your photo should now be shaped! Clear the selection area by going to Selections>None or use Ctrl+d on the keyboard.

Try it and see how you go
