Step 3: Click on the document or image and start typing the text.
Your text will have an underline and a cursor will show where
you are inserting the next letter. If you keep typing, the text
will continue in one long single line. To start a new line, press
Enter key from your keyboard. This procedure is called Point
text typing.
There is a second way for entering text i.e., Paragraph Text:
Step 1: Open a new document and click on the Horizontal Type Tool
from the Tools panel.
Step 2: Drag the mouse pointer in an outward direction to draw a
rectangle. You should see something like this.
Step 3: Now, when you start typing the text is limited by the box’s size. As soon as the text
reaches the boundary of the bounding box, it moves to the next line automatically.
You do not have to press the Enter key. You can increase the size of this box by
dragging the text box handles on the centre and corner of the dotted box.
Step 4: With the help of the Move Tool align the entire block of text anywhere on your page.
Similarly, you can enter text perpendicularly on your image by using the Vertical Type Tool.
Follow the same steps that you followed in the Horizontal Type Tool.
LAYERS IN PHOTOSHOP
Photoshop provides you a feature to combine multiple elements to make one file with the help of
layers. A layer can be defined as one image stacked on top of another to form a complete image.
When you open a file in Photoshop, the first layer by default is the Background layer with white color.
This layer is locked and protected which means you cannot change the stacking order, blending mode
or opacity of this layer. However, you can convert this layer into a regular layer by double clicking on
the lock icon and then make changes in it.
In Photoshop, you can work on each layer independently and create the desired effect. You can also
change the stacking order and can link the layers to work on them simultaneously. When working
with an image, it is advisable to use a new layer above it to apply filters or for retouching tools. If
you are unhappy with the effect, you can simply delete the layer without making any change in the
original image. All the layers are visible in the Layers panel.
Creating a New Layer
In order to create a new layer, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Click on the Layer menu from the Menu Bar. A drop-down menu appears.
Step 2: Select the New option from the drop-down menu. A submenu appears.
Step 3: Select the Layer option from the submenu.
Step 4: The New Layer dialog box appears. Type a name for the layer in the Name box and click
on the OK button.
