However, some of the Photoshop features will not work on a type layer. You can do anything with a type layer that you can do with a regular layer such as duplicating it, changing the stacking order, applying layer effects and styles, and changing layer opacity. It is preferable to use this tool on an image layer, and not any type layer that you may have added previously. The type is added to the current, active layer. Unlike the regular type tools, this one does not appear on its own layer. You can do anything with that outline that you can do with any other selection. The type mask tool creates a selection outline in the shape of the letters typed. Pressing Enter creates a new paragraph, not a line break, in paragraph text. Resizing the text box by dragging a corner will allow the overflow text to show. If you add more type than will fit within the box, it will be indicated by an overflow icon, and the overflow type will not show in the image. Paragraph type is entered in a bounding box. Drag, or press the arrow keys to move the text layer in one pixel increments.

To do this, be sure you’ve selected the type layer which has the type you want to move, then choose the move tool in the toolbar. If you have difficulty positioning point type exactly where you want it, apply it (click the big check box) and then move it with the move tool.

Line breaks may be created by pressing Enter, but otherwise, the type does not wrap. Point type enters the text in a line from the point where you first click. Any of the layer styles, or other layer options can be applied to type layers. If you move the cursor a little ways away from the type you’ve added, the pointer becomes the move tool, and type can be repositioned.Įach time you use the type tool, a new layer is created with that text on it. Type may be edited by drag-selecting and applying new options. While you are adding or editing type, the options bar will change to be in edit mode. Paragraph type is entered by clicking and dragging a bounding box, and then adding text inside it. You can set the type’s options before you click in the image to add type.Ĭlick in the image to add point type. The type tool’s options bar will appear as soon as you select the tool. For vertical type, it marks the center axis that the type will be created along. A small line across the I beam marks the location of the type’s baseline. When you select the type tool in the toolbox, your cursor will change to an I-beam pointer. To choose the one you want, click and hold on the type icon and pick the one you want from the menu that appears. The type mask, vertical type, and vertical type mask tools have returned to the toolbox after being evicted to the options bar in 6.
