Simple Text Editing


Today I'm going to teach you how to enhance you text in photoshop. I am using photoshop CS5 in this tutoiral. The font I am using is arial.



First open a new deocument, the size doesn't matter because you're only learning. The size of my document is 600x600 pixels.

Now you're going to need to lay down some text, you will need two words ( doesn't matter what they're ) and they will need to be on seporate lines like so:




So now we can start leanring more about the text tool. Lets go over the basics, on the top bar under the menu bar will be most your text settings. You can change font, font style, size, anit-aliasing method, alignment, color and create a text warp. I will be changing the font style to Bold.You can play around with these settings, see what you can get.

So now that we have the basic font setting down, time to go a little more advance. Alot of people do not find these settings because they're a little hidden but they can enhance you text in such amazing ways! So go to;

Windows > Paragraph

and a side menu should open, this is what mine looks like, yours might be different.



You're going to want to select the Character tab so start editing you text;


I've only labelled the first 6 settings. The rest is up to you to edit/change/play around with.

This is what I got after a minute or so;
