Applying effects to text
You can use raster text to create an unlimited variety of text effects. For example, you can apply a drop shadow or a beveled edge, transform text into brushstrokes, or apply a colored-chalk effect. To apply an effect to vector text, you must first convert the vector text to raster text.
