When you are creating text in Photoshop, there are a few things that you can do to make sure that your text is easy to read and looks great. One of the most important things to do is to vectorize your text. Vectorizing your text means that you are creating a font that can be scaled up or down without losing any of its quality. This is important because it means that you can create text that is large enough to be easily read, or small enough to be used as a logo. Vectorizing your text also makes it possible to change the color of your text without losing any of its quality.
There are a few different ways that you can vectorize your text in Photoshop. One way is to use the “Create Outlines” function. This function converts your text into vector shapes. This is a good option if you want to be able to manipulate the individual letters of your text.
Another way to vectorize your text is to use the “Text on a Path” tool. This tool allows you to put your text on a curved or straight path. This is a good option if you want your text to follow a specific path, such as around the edge of a logo.
Once you have vectorized your text, there are a few different things that you can do to style it. One way to style vectorized text is to change the color of the fill and stroke. To do this, simply click on the “Fill” layer in the “Layers” panel and then choose a color from the color palette. You can also click on the “Stroke” layer and choose a color for the outline of your text. Another way to style vectorized text is to add a drop shadow. To do this, click on the “Layer Styles” button at the bottom of the “Layers” panel and then choose “Drop Shadow” from the list of options.
There are many benefits to vectorizing your text in Photoshop including being able to easily scale it and change its color without losing any quality. There are two main ways to vectorize your text, using the “Create Outlines” function or the “Text on a Path” tool depending on what look you are going for. You can also style vectorized text by changing its fill and stroke colors or adding a drop shadow using layer styles.
