Creating and editing text

PhotoPlus makes use of two text tools, i.e.

• The Text Tool, for entering solid, colorful text on a new layer.

• The Text Selection Tool, for creating a selection in the shape of

text (for filling with unusual fills).

The Layers tab designates text layers with a

symbol. Like shapes, solid text

in PhotoPlus is editable: as long as it remains on a separate text layer, you can

retype it or change its properties at a later date.

To create new solid text:

1. Click

Text Tools (Tools toolbar), then the Text Tool.

2. Click on your image with the text cursor to set where you want to

insert text. The text attributes (font, point size, bold/italic/underline,

alignment, antialias and color) set on the Text Context toolbar prior to

clicking will be applied.

Drag across the page to size your text according to requirements.

Release the mouse button to set the point size.

3. Type your text, which is applied directly on your page. The text

appears on a new transparent layer in the image. You can now use the

Move Tool or other tools and commands to manipulate it, just like the

contents of any layer.

To edit text:

1. Select all or part of any text.

2. On the Text Context toolbar, set new text attributes (font, point size,

bold/italic/underline, alignment, antialias, or color) to be adopted by

the selected text area. The Character tab also lets you adjust selected

text's Point Size, letter Spacing, Leading, Advance, or Width.
