    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.

                           Using Horizontal Type Mask Tool

                      The Horizontal Type Mask Tool allows us to put an image as text fill instead of solid colours. Follow
                      the below steps to do so:

                      Step 1:    Open an image in an existing Photoshop document. Now, we have two layers, one with white
                              background, second is image layer above the background layer.
                      Step 2:  Select the image layer.
                      Step 3:   Click and hold the left mouse button pressed on the Horizontal Type Tool in the Tools panel.

                              A flyout menu opens.
                      Step 4:  Choose the Horizontal Type Mask Tool from the flyout menu.
                      Step 5:  Type some text on the image layer.

                      No new text layer will be created as it is a masked text.
                      Step 6:   After entering  text, as you  click  on the  Move  Tool  from the  Tools  panel. The text  will be
                              converted into dotted selection border which look like marching ants.
                      Step 7:   Click on the Layer Mask Tool icon present at the bottom of the Layers panel. It will place the

                              image inside text. So, the background is visible through the text.

                                                          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 rasterise the text layer. Rasterising means the text will be converted into pixels, allowing you
                      to make image adjustments that normally do not work with text layer. Rasterise 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.
