Adding text to the


image in Photoshop
You can add text and shapes of different color,
styles, and effects to an image. Use the
Horizontal Type and Vertical Type tools to
create and edit text. You can create single-line
text or paragraph text.
ADD TEXT
Step 1: From the toolbar, select the Horizontal Type tool or
the Vertical Type tool.

Step 2: Do one of the following:

To create a single line of text, click in the image to set an


insertion point for the type.
To create paragraph text, drag a rectangle to create a
textbox for the type.

After clicking with the T tool, placeholder text (Lorem


Ipsum) will appear. This will disappear as soon as you start
typing your text. Placeholder text can be disabled in
Preferences > 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.
ADD TEXT
Step 3: (Optional) Select type options, such as font,
style, size, and color, in the tool options bar.

Step 4: Type the characters you want. If you did not


create a textbox, press Enter to create a new line.
The text appears in its own layer. To view the layers,
in the Advanced mode, press F11.

Step 5: Commit the text layer by doing one of the


following:

Click the Commit button .


Press the Enter key on the numeric keypad.
Click in the image, outside the textbox.
Select a different tool in the toolbox.

Use the Text on


Shape tool
You can add text to the shapes available in the Text on
Shape tool.
Select the Text on Shape tool . To quickly change the
current text tool, press Option and click the current

From the available shapes, select the shape on which you want to add
text. Drag the cursor on the image to create the shape.

To add text to the image, hover the mouse over the path until the cursor
icon changes to depict text mode. Click the point to add text.

Modify text in the same way that you modify normal text.
After adding text, click Commit . For some of the
shapes the text has to be written inside. You can
move the text around the path or by
inside/outside by holding Cmd while clicking and
dragging the mouse (The text appears in a small
arrow). You can drag that cursor into a selected
area, the text path is allowed inside/outside an
area.

Create and use
masked type
The Horizontal Type Mask tool and
Vertical Type Mask tool create a
selection in the shape of text. You can
have fun with text selection borders by
cutting text out of an image to show the
background, or pasting the selected
text into a new image. Experiment with
different options to personalize your
images and compositions.
Step 1: Using the Expert mode, select the layer on
which you want the selection to appear. For best
results, don’t create the type selection border on a
text layer.

Select 2: Select the Horizontal Type Mask tool or


the Vertical Type Mask tool.

Step 3: Select additional type options (See Type


tool options), and enter your text.

The type selection border appears in the image on


the active layer.
