How to decorate the text in "Photoshop"

Adobe Photoshop is a very powerful graphics editor. With its help, many problems are solved that relate to images. And today we will decorate the text in Photoshop. We will review the main tools and tools that will help change the appearance of the inscription.

Auxiliary elements

First of all, it's worth to find out how to add text in Photoshop. The tool that will help us do this is called "horizontal text" (hotkey T). Thus, by selecting a specific font, color and size, you can quickly add an inscription. To change the text, you can use a variety of tools in the program Photoshop. But most often filters and blending parameters are used, as these two tools are ideal for decorating text. In some cases, it is very useful to have 3D layers that allow you to make voluminous text. In "Photoshop" this feature appeared in the latest versions of the program. Next, we will consider each of these tools separately.

Filters

The text in "Photoshop" can be typed, as in any text editor. But no ordinary editor will allow you to change the inscription. A standard set of "Photoshop" provides a sufficient set for changing the text. By the way, filters can be installed on their own, after downloading them to your computer. To apply a filter to the label, you must select the "Filters" tab in the top toolbar and select the effect you want. A very interesting combination gives the use of "blurring" or the addition of distortions in the form of ripples. You can independently experiment with various parameters and values of filters.

Overlay options

Do you want transparent or fiery text? In Photoshop, these effects can be applied if the blending parameters are used correctly. To see their list, you need to right-click on the layer and select the "Overlay Options" item. Here you find settings such as shadow, glow, internal glow, gloss, pattern, etc. All of them will help you turn your text into a real colorful image. A vast selection of options allows you to flexibly adjust the effects.

3D

Some people, seeing a combination of these symbols, still panic because of ignorance of their meaning. But do not be so worried. 3D is a separate section of computer graphics, where all elements have a three-dimensional form. All that you see in a flat space is called 2D. It is worth noting that these definitions are distributed only in the context of computer graphics. In Photoshop, the ability to work with 3D images has appeared, starting with the CS4 version. Three-dimensional images are increasingly used in design and when creating different logos, since this is a completely new structure where it is possible to manifest its hidden possibilities.

Conclusion

If you think that Photoshop is created only for normal images and photos, then you are deeply mistaken. After all, the text in Photoshop has a lot of different settings and settings. Especially pleasing is the ability of the editor to view the usual inscription as a separate 3D project. You can see for yourself if you install Photoshop on your computer.
