Using the Touch Type tool

In this movie, I'll introduce you to the Touch Type Tool.…Which allows you to scale, rotate and move…individual characters of text, while leaving them editable.…And by the time we're done, we'll convert…this heavily effective text into this final treatment here.…And so I'm going to start things off by selecting the Touch…Type Tool, which you can get to from a couple of locations.…One is you can click and hold on the Type Tool,…and then notice down at the bottom of the flyout menu…is the Touch Type Tool, which you can also get by pressing…the keyboard shortcut Shift+T, or, if you like, you can press…Ctrl+T or Cmd+T on the Mac to bring up the Character panel.…

And then you've got this button right there for the Touch Type Tool.…If you don't want that button, incidentally,…then you can click the flyout menu…and you can turn off the Show Touch Type Tool command, which will slim…down the Character panel and make the tool available only from the tool box.…So, it's totally up to you.…I'm going to press Shift+T in order to switch to the Touch Type Tool, like so.…
