Using Horizontal Type Mask Tool
                  If you want to use brush or paint texture on Text layer or you want to use Image Adjustment, you
                  need to rasterize the text layer. Rasterizing means the text will be converted into pixels, allowing
                  you to make image adjustments that normally do not work with text layer. Rasterize is the process
                  of converting a vector image to a raster image. The problem is that you will no longer be able to edit
                  the text, change the formatting, or convert it back to a text layer.


                         TRANSFORM TOOL


                  Most of the time when you import or open an image into Photoshop, it exceeds the current canvas size.
                  Follow the below steps to apply this tool:

                  Step 1:  Open an image in Photoshop.
                  Step 2:   Select the Edit → Free Transform option from the Application Bar.
                          Now,  you  can increase  or decrease  and rotate  an image  as per
                          the requirement. In this case, there is a bounding box with square
                          handles. You  can drag them  inside  or outside  to  see the changes
                          they are making to the object inside it. When you hover your mouse
                          pointer near the corner handles, the mouse pointer changes into a
                          curved arrow, helping you to rotate the object.                         Using Transform Tool

                  You can find more transform features under the Transform option in the Edit menu such as skew,
                  distort, warp, rotate to a specific angle, flipping options, etc.

                                                              Tech Fact
                         While saving your work, by default the file is saved in Photoshop format with .PSD file
                     extension. If you want to save a file in other image formats such as, JPEG, PNG, etc. you need
                                                 to select from the Save as type box.
