Most people think of Photoshop as a powerful image editor, and it is. But Photoshop is also a very capable page layout program. You can use it to create all sorts of graphics for both the web and print projects.
One of the things you might want to do is add some text to your layout. And one way to make that text stand out is to add a background to it.
There are a couple of different ways to add a background to your text in Photoshop. One way is to use the “Layer Styles” dialog box.
You can access this dialog box by double-clicking on the layer that contains your text in the “Layers” palette. Or, you can right-click on the layer and choose “Layer Style” from the pop-up menu.
When the “Layer Styles” dialog box appears, click on the “Blending Options” tab. Then, check the “Color Overlay” checkbox and click on the color swatch next to it. Choose the color you want for your background and then click “OK.”
Another way to add a background to your text is to create a new layer beneath the layer that contains your text. Then, use the “Paint Bucket” tool to fill that layer with the color you want for your background.
Once you’ve added a background to your text, you may want to experiment with different opacities for both the text and background layers. This will give you different levels of transparency and allow you to create some interesting effects.
Conclusion:
Adding a background to your text in Photoshop is a great way to make it stand out. There are a couple of different ways to do it, and you can experiment with different opacities for both the text and background layers.
