To change the view magnification, click the
•
zoom buttons at the bottom of the dialog box.
Click the percentage value to specify a 100% view.
To scale the magnification so that the type always
•
fits in the text area, select Fit in Window. Selecting
this option makes the zoom buttons unavailable.
8 To adjust the placement of the type, drag the
type preview in the image. This option is only
available if you have selected Preview.
9 Click OK. The type appears in the image on
a new type layer, and a type icon appears next to
the layer name.
Important: A type layer is not created for images in
multichannel, Bitmap, or indexed-color mode,
because these modes do not support layers. In these
image modes, type appears on the background and
cannot be edited.
To create a type selection border:
1 Select the type mask tool ( ) or the vertical
type mask tool ( ).
2 Click where you want the type selection border
to appear.
For best results, create the type selection border on
a regular image layer, not a type layer.
3 Specify type attributes, as described in "Setting
type attributes" on page 295.
4 Click inside the text area at the bottom of the
dialog box, and enter the text you want. To create
a line break, press Enter (Windows) or Return
(Mac OS) while the cursor is in the text area.
To control the display of type in the text area, see
the instructions in step 7 of the entering text
procedure in "Entering text" on page 292.
Click OK. The type selection border appears in

the image on the active layer.

Editing type layers
Once you have created type, you can edit the
contents, attributes, and orientation at any time
by using its type layer. Type layers save with the
image. You can move, restack, copy, and change
the layer options of a type layer just as for a regular
layer (see Chapter 11 for general layers infor-
mation). You can also apply these commands to
a type layer and still be able to edit the text:
Transformation commands under the Edit
•
menu, except for Perspective and Distort. (To
transform just part of the type layer, you must
convert the type layer to a regular layer.)
