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, anti-alias, 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 to display the Color Selector

dialog. (See Choosing colors on p. 120.)

3. Select your new color and click OK.

To swap to a gradient color:

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

selected text.

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. 135). The

gradient fill is immediately applied to your text.

To convert any text layer to a standard layer:

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