150 Painting, Drawing, and Text

Creating and editing text

PhotoPlus makes use of two text tools, i.e.

• The

Text Tool, for

entering solid text on a new

layer. Use for eye-catching or

subtle captioning (opposite) and

titling equally.

• The

Text Selection Tool,

for creating a selection in the

shape of text (for filling with

unusual fills).

The Layers tab designates text layers with a

symbol. Like shapes, solid text in

PhotoPlus is editable: as long as it remains on a separate text layer, you can

retype it or change its properties at a later date.

To create new solid text:

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. Then set text attributes (font, point size, bold/italic/underline,

alignment, anti-alias and color) on the Text context toolbar.

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

the mouse button to set the point size. Then set text attributes on the Text

context toolbar.

3. Type your text. 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.
