Understanding the Text Layer

A text layer holds a single text block. When you create a new text layer with the text tool, that layer becomes visible in the Layers panel, and is represented by a T icon . With the text on a separate layer, you can work with your image without changing any text attributes. You can select the text layer and edit it at any time. Your text remains fully editable until you drop it onto the canvas. For more information, see Dropping Text.

Accessing Text Options

You can edit text using controls in the Text panel. The Text panel is not displayed by default. The most commonly used options are also available on the property bar when the Text tool is selected in the toolbox.

You can adjust many text elements on the property bar when the Text tool is selected.
