ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 31 User Guide Editing type Using the type tool in conjunction with the options bar, the Character palette, and the Paragraph palette, you can edit type directly as it appears in an image.

Then change the type content and attributes as desired. In Photoshop, click the Commit button ( ) in the options bar to commit the changes. Changing the font of a single character Warp the shape of type The warp feature lets you creatively stretch and distort the shape of type. Use the type tool to click inside the type you want to warp, and click the warp icon ( ) in the options bar. For Style, choose a warp effect. Specify whether to apply the warp horizontally or vertically, drag the sliders to adjust the intensity of the effect, and click OK. Apply layer edits to type Because type resides on its own type layer, you can apply all sorts of layer-specific edits to type-from changing the opacity and blending mode to adding layer styles.
