INSERTING TEXT
Type tools allow you to add letters from keyboard to a document. You can use text on a variety of
projects such as adding it to your images to create a poster, a card, or invitation and much more. You
can also customise/modify the text to suit your needs. The type tools have their own layers. Normal
layer and text layer have different properties. You cannot put text directly in an image layer as other
image files can be opened in the same layer.
Photoshop provides four type tools which are Horizontal Type Tool, Vertical Type Tool, Vertical Type
Mask Tool and Horizontal Type Mask Tool. Let's learn about these.
