Select the horizontal type tool ( ) or the 

vertical type tool ( ).

Make sure that the Create a text layer button ( ) 

in the options bar is selected.

Click in the image to set an insertion point for 

the type. The small line through the I-beam marks 
the position of the type baseline. For horizontal 
type, the baseline marks the line on which the type 
rests; for vertical type, the baseline marks the 
center axis of the type characters.

Select additional type options in the options 

bar. (See “Formatting characters” on page 217.)

Enter the characters you want. Press Enter on 

the main keyboard (Windows) or Return

You can use a type tool to create a selection in 
the shape of type. Type selections appear on the 
active layer instead of creating a type layer. The 
selections can be moved, copied, filled, or stroked 
just like any other selection. For example, you can 
use the paint bucket tool to fill the type selection 
with a pattern.

Select a layer in the Layers palette. For best 

results, create the type selection border on a 
normal image layer, not on a type layer.

Select the horizontal type tool ( ) or the 

vertical type tool ( ).

Click the Create a selection button ( ) in the 

options bar.

Select additional type options in the options 

bar. (See “Formatting characters” on page 217.)

Enter type in the document window. A red 

background appears to help you see the selected 
areas created by the type tool. (See “Entering type” 
on page 213.)

Commit the type entry. The text appears as a 

selection on the active layer.

Once you create a type layer, you can edit the type 
and apply layer commands to it. You can change 
the orientation of the type, apply anti-aliasing, and 
warp the type into a variety of shapes. You can 
move, restack, copy, and change the layer options 
of a type layer as you do for a normal layer. You can 
also make the following changes to a type layer and 
still edit its text:

Apply transformation commands, except for 

Perspective and Distort.

Use layer styles.
