ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 257 User Guide Warping applies to all characters on a type layer- you cannot warp selected characters. While warping is applied to a type layer, you cannot resize or transform the bounding box for paragraph type. Note: You cannot warp type layers that include Faux Bold formatting or use fonts that do not include outline data (such as bitmap fonts). To warp type: 1 Select a type layer. 2 Do one of the following: • Select the type tool ( ), and click the Warp button ( ) in the options bar. • Choose Layer > Type > Warp Text. 3 Choose a warp style from the Style pop-up menu. 4 Select the orientation of the warp effect- Horizontal or Vertical. 5 If desired, specify values for additional warping options: • Bend to specify how much warp is applied to the layer. • Horizontal Distortion and Vertical Distortion to apply perspective to the warp. 6 Click OK. To unwarp type: 1 Select a type layer that has warping applied to it. 2 Select the type tool ( ), and click the Warp button ( ) in the options bar; or choose Layer > Type > Warp Text. 3 Choose None from the Style pop-up menu, and click OK. Creating a work path from type (Photoshop) Creating a work path from type lets you work with characters as vector shapes. A work path is a temporary path that appears in the Paths palette. Once you create a work path from a type layer, you can save and manipulate it like any other path. (See "Selecting paths (Photoshop)" on page 173.) You cannot edit characters in the path as text; however, the original type layer remains intact and editable. To create a work path from type: Select a type layer, and choose Layer > Type > Create Work Path. Converting type to shapes (Photoshop) When you convert type to shapes, the type layer is replaced by a layer with a vector-based layer clipping path. You can edit the layer clipping path and apply styles to the layer; however, you cannot edit characters in the layer as text. (See "Editing a layer clipping path (Photoshop)" on page 240.)
