Creating Type Layers
Type Layers are totally transparent except for the Text and any special effects applied to
the text.
Text is never a part of another layer unless it has been
Rasterized
— converted to a pixel
image — in which case, it is no longer editable. Photoshop will treat the rasterized-text the
same as it treats any other image. We will not be rasterizing any text in our examples.
When you create a
Type Layer
, the default color of the
Text
will be the
Foreground Color
.
To change it, double-click the
Text Color Box
on the
Type Options Bar
and the
Color Picker
will pop-up.
