8 Select the type tool ( ), and click the image in
the upper right corner.
9 Choose a font from the Font menu in the Type
Tool dialog box, and enter a point size in the Size
and Leading boxes (we used 22-point Lucida Sans
Bold with 43-point leading). At the far right of the
dialog box, select the right alignment option.
10 Type "MEZZO PIANO" in two lines in the
large text box at the bottom of the dialog box.
11 Click the color box on the left side of the dialog
box, select a color from the color picker, and
click OK.
12 Then select "PIANO," and enter a larger point
size in the Size box.
13 With the Type Tool dialog box still displayed,
move the pointer into the image area. Notice that
the pointer temporarily changes to the move tool.
You can now reposition the text.
14 When the text looks the way you want it,
click OK in the dialog box. The text is automati-
cally placed in the Layers palette on a new type
layer, marked with a T icon.
You can enhance any layer by adding a shadow,
glow, bevel, or emboss special effect from the
program's assortment of layer effects. You can also
apply a combination of layer effects to the same
layer. Here you'll apply the Drop Shadow and
Bevel and Emboss layer effects to the type.
Make sure that the MEZZO PIANO type layer
15
is active. Then choose Layer > Effects > Drop
Shadow.
In the dialog box, change the opacity to 60%
16
and set the angle to 150 .
°
Now choose Bevel and Emboss from the menu
17
at the top of the dialog box.
In the new dialog box, click Apply. Then
18
change the opacity for both Highlight and Shadow
to 50%, select Inner Bevel for Style, set Blur to
2 pixels, and click OK. The drop shadow and bevel
and emboss effects are now applied to the type.
Photoshop makes it easy to change text on a type
layer and assures that any layer effects applied will
automatically track changes made to the layer. You
can see how this works by changing the wording of
your text.
