- [Instructor] Photoshop makes it very easy…to add type to images.…In order to select the type tool,…I'll tap the 'T' key,…and I want to make sure that I have the…horizontal type tool selected.…To make sure we're all starting in the same place,…I'll right-click on the 'T' icon in the options bar…and choose 'Reset Tool.'…For now, I'll leave the font set to Marion.…I'm going to increase the point size to 48 point,…make it center-aligned,…and change the color by clicking in the color swatch,…positioning my cursor over a dark blue area in the image,…and clicking with the eye dropper.…
I'll click 'OK,'…and now, I want to inner the type.…I'll click in my image area,…and start typing 'calm seas.'…If I want to resize the type while I'm still editing it,…I can hold down the command key,…that gives me the transformation handles.…I'll start dragging them,…and then add the shift key…in order to constrain proportions.…If I want to reposition the type,…I'll move my cursor away from the type…I get the Move Tool icon,…and I can click and drag.…
