Tip
You can place the pointer over the labels of most numeric settings
in the tool options bar, in panels, and in dialog boxes in Pho-
toshop to display a “scrubby slider.” Dragging the pointing-finger
slider to the right increases the value; dragging to the left de-
creases the value. Alt-dragging (Windows) or Option-dragging
(Mac OS) changes the values in smaller increments; Shift-drag-
ging changes them in larger increments.
You can specify 32 points by typing directly in the font-size text box and pressing
Enter or Return, or by scrubbing the font-size menu label. You can also choose a
standard font size from the font-size pop-up menu.
4. Click once anywhere on the left side of the colored bar, and type Elaine .
Or you can type a different name, if you like. Don't worry if the text isn't
positioned well; you'll correct that later.
The text is the same color as the bar you typed it on. You'll fix that next.
Using panels and panel menus
The text color is the same as the Foreground Color swatch in the Tools panel,
which is the blue color you used to paint the bar. You'll select the text and choose
another color from the Swatches panel.
1. Make sure the Horizontal Type tool ( ) is selected in the Tools panel.
2. Drag the Horizontal Type tool across the text to select the full name.
