Step 3: Click on the document or image and start typing the text.
Your text will get underlined and a cursor will show where
you are inserting the next letter. If you keep on typing, the
text will continue in one single line. To start a new line, press Enter key from your
keyboard. This procedure is called Point text typing.
Prime (Ver. 2.2)-VIII Step 1: Open a new document and click on the Horizontal Type Tool from the Tools panel.
There is a second way for entering text, i.e., Paragraph Text:
Step 2: Drag the mouse pointer in an outward direction to draw a
rectangle. You should see something like this.
Step 3: Start typing your text. The text will be constrained within the
boundaries of the box, automatically moving to the next line when it reaches
the edge. You do not need to press the Enter key for line breaks. If you want
to adjust the size of the text box, simply click and drag the handles located
108
at the corners and sides of the bounding 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.
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: Keeping the image layer selected, choose the Horizontal Type Mask Tool from
the Tools panel, and type some text on the image layer. No new text layer will be
created as it is a masked text.
Step 3: Once you finish typing, select the Move Tool (shortcut V) from the Tools panel. The
text will now appear as a dotted selection border, often referred to as "marching
ants".
Step 4: 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.
