3. Chapter L3Transforming Type Create type Embellish type with –Styles such as Drop Shadow –Filters such as Twirl Transform type Warp type Working with Type

4. Chapter L4Transforming Type Enclose type with a bounding box –A rectangle that surrounds type and contains handles used to change the dimensions Modify the shape of type with all Transform commands –Exceptions are Perspective and Distort Transforming Type

5. Chapter L5Transforming Type Warping Type Use the Create warped text button to create unlimited shapes and dimensions Create distortions that conform to a variety of shapes

6. Chapter L6Transforming Type Warping Shapes Arc Arch Bulge Flag Fish Twist

7. Chapter L7Transforming Type Type Special Effects Fading Type –Type appears to originate in a dark area, then gradually gets brighter or vice versa Screening Back –Imagery is visible through the layer that contains type

8. Chapter L8Transforming Type Modify Type Using a Bounding Box To display the bounding box: –Click the Move Tool on the toolbox –Select the Show Bounding Box check box Reference point –Center of the bounding box –The location from which distortions and transformations are measured

9. Chapter L9Transforming Type Bounding Box Around Type Bounding Box Handle Reference Point

10. Chapter L10Transforming Type Using the Options Bar Displays additional options for transforming type To change the size of the bounding box: –Drag sizing handles Type in a resized bounding box reflows to conform to the new shape

11. Chapter L11Transforming Type Transformation Tools Reference point location button –Click any white dot on the button to change the reference point Set horizontal position of reference point text box –Reassign the horizontal location of the reference point Use relative positioning for reference point button –Determines the point to use as a reference

12. Chapter L12Transforming Type Transformation Tools Set vertical position of reference point text box –Reassign the vertical location of the reference point Set horizontal scale text box –Determines the percentage of left-to-right scaling Maintain aspect ratio button –Keeps the current proportions of the contents within the bounding box

13. Chapter L13Transforming Type Transformation Tools Set vertical scale box –Determines the percentage of top-to-bottom scaling Set rotation text box –Determines the angle the bounding box will be rotated Set horizontal skew text box –Determines the angle of horizontal distortion

14. Chapter L14Transforming Type Transformation Tools Set vertical skew text box –Determines the angle of vertical distortion Cancel transform (Esc) button –Returns to the image without carrying out transformation Commit transform (Return) button –Returns to the image after carrying out transformation

15. Chapter L15Transforming Type Transformation Pointers

16. Chapter L16Transforming Type Type Modified with Bounding Box Text skewed in bounding box

17. Chapter L17Transforming Type Create Warped Type with a Unique Shape Warping Type Use the Create warped text feature to: –Distort a type layer beyond the limits of stretching a bounding box Choose from 15 warped text styles

18. Chapter L18Transforming Type Sample of Warped Text Warped Text

19. Chapter L19Transforming Type Enhancing Warped Text Use the Bend, Horizontal Distortion, and Vertical Distortion sliders in the Warp Text dialog box Apply a style Apply a filter

20. Chapter L20Transforming Type Warped Type Settings

21. Chapter L21Transforming Type Enhanced Warped Text Warped Text enhanced with Color

22. Chapter L22Transforming Type Screen Back Type with Imagery Screening Type Create the illusion that type appears to fade into the imagery below it Screening Methods –Adjust the opacity of a type layer until imagery behind the type is visible –Convert a type layer into a shape layer; adjust levels of the shape layer

23. Chapter L23Transforming Type Screened Back Type Image visible beneath the shape layer

24. Chapter L24Transforming Type Creating a Screened Back Effect Create a duplicate layer before converting the type layer Convert the layer into a shape layer Change the midtones and shadows of the content of the shape layer –Increase or decrease the midtones and shadow levels

25. Chapter L25Transforming Type Levels Dialog Box Work in the Levels dialog box to change midtones and shadows

26. Chapter L26Transforming Type Adding Effects Further modify the screened shape by: –Adding styles such as Bevel and Emboss –Adding filters such as Noise and Lighting

27. Chapter L27Transforming Type Screened Back Type with Effects Bevel and Emboss style applied

28. Chapter L28Transforming Type Create a Faded Type Effect Creating a Fade Effect Create the illusion that type is fading away Create the fade effect with: –A type layer –A layer mask –The Gradient Tool

29. Chapter L29Transforming Type Fade Effect Process Create a layer mask for the type layer –Click the Add layer mask button on the Layers palette Click the Gradient Tool on the toolbox –Experiment with different types of gradient styles

30. Chapter L30Transforming Type Creating Semitransparent Type Use blending options to create semitransparent type Procedure –Create a type layer and apply layer styles –Drag the Set opacity of effect slider to the left to set the transparency

31. Chapter L31Transforming Type Fade Effect Example Left side of type is faded

32. Chapter L32Transforming Type Chapter L Tasks Use a bounding box to modify type Transform type Warp type into unique shapes Screen back type with imagery Create a faded type effect
