Step 4:   Select a mode from the Mode drop-down list in the Options bar. In this case, we have selected
                         Linear Burn mode.
                 Step 5:   Set the Tolerance value in the Options bar. The Tolerance value directly affects the pixels to
                         be filled with colour. A low Tolerance means only very similar colour pixels will be affected and
                         high Tolerance means more pixels will be affected. The range of Tolerance is 0 to 255. If the
                         Contiguous option is checked, only pixels that are connected to the original pixel are filled.
                 Step 6:   Select the desired foreground colour and click on the image. The similar colour pixels are
                         changed.

                        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.

                      Using Horizontal Type Tool

                 Follow the below steps to use the Horizontal Type Tool:
                 Step 1:   Open a new document in Photoshop and click on the Horizontal Type Tool from the Tools panel.
                 Step 2:  Set the properties in the Options bar such as font size, colour, style, etc.




                                                    Options bar of Horizontal Type Tool
                 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.
