To create new solid text:

1. Click the Text Tools flyout on the Tools toolbar and choose

the standard Text Tool.

2. Click on your image with the text cursor to set where you want to insert

text. The text attributes (font, point size, bold/italic/underline, alignment,

antialias and color) set on the Text Context toolbar prior to clicking will be

applied.

Drag across the page to size your text according to requirements. Release

the mouse button to set the point size.

3. Type your text, which is applied directly on your page. The text appears on

a new transparent text layer in the image. You can now use the Move Tool

or other tools and commands to manipulate it, just like the contents of any

layer.

To edit existing text:

1. With the text layer to be edited as the active layer, choose the standard Text

Tool and move the mouse pointer over the text until it changes to the (I-

beam) cursor.

2. Click on or drag to select areas of text—this lets you insert or overwrite

selected text, respectively. Equally, you can set new text attributes (font,

point size, bold/italic/underline, alignment, antialias, or color) to be

adopted by the selected text area—all made from the Text Context toolbar.

Fine-tune your character size and positioning by using the Character tab.

If hidden, make this tab visible via Window>Studio Tabs.

To change text's solid color:

1. Select all or part of any text.

2. Click the color swatch on the Context toolbar and use the Adjust Color

dialog. (See Choosing colors on p. 124.)

3. Select your new color and click OK.
