To swap to a gradient color:

1. On the Layers tab, right-click the Text layer and choose Edit Fill....

2. Change the Fill Type from Solid to one of Linear, Radial, Conical, or

Square.

3. Click on the Fill gradient swatch and select a preset gradient fill or create

your own gradient from the dialog (see Filling a region on p. 136). The

gradient fill is immediately applied to your text.

This applies a gradient fill to all of your text on the layer and not to

selected text.

To convert any text layer to a standard layer:

Right-click on the layer name and choose Rasterize from the menu.

To create a text selection:

1. Click the

Text Tools flyout (Tools toolbar) and choose the

Text Selection Tool.

2. Click at the location on the image where you want to begin the selection.

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

Release the mouse button to set the point size.

3. (Optional) On the Text Context toolbar, set the selection text attributes to

be adopted by the new selection (e.g., the font and point size).

4. Type your text directly onto the page.

5. When you're done, click the OK button on the Context toolbar. A

selection marquee appears around the text's outline.

6. You can now cut, copy, move, modify, and of course fill the selection.

Unlike solid text, the text selection doesn't occupy a separate layer.
