1. Chapter 6 Placing Type in an Image

2. Chapter Lessons Learn about type and how it is created Change spacing and adjust baseline shift Use the Drop Shadow style Apply anti-aliasing to type Modify type with the Bevel and Emboss style Apply special effects to type using filters Create text on a path © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

3. Understanding Type In Photoshop, the term type refers to text Use type to express ideas displayed in imagery or to display an additional message Modify type by using different typefaces and colors Introduction

4. Using Type Type is used sparingly in Photoshop images to deliver short messages Type should be concise and easy-to-read Imagery that accompanies type should complement and reinforce the message conveyed by the type Introduction

5. Appearance of Type Modify type by changing: Font Size Color Apply special effects that make type pop off the page Introduction

6. Learn about Type and How it is Created Introducing Type Types Outline type: Can be scaled to any size without losing clarity Bitmap type: Composed of pixels Develops jagged edges when enlarged Lesson 1

7. Using Type Types Type created in Photoshop is initially Outline type Outline type is then converted into Bitmap type when filters are applied Lesson 1

8. Creating Type Use Type tools and the Options bar to create horizontal or vertical type Use the Options bar to modify the font size and alignment of type Use the Color Picker dialog box to change type color © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

9. Location of Type Type created in Photoshop is automatically placed on a new type layer on the Layers panel Lesson 1

10. Font Families Each font family represents a complete set of characters, letters, and symbols for each type face Three font family categories: Serif Sans Serif Symbol Lesson 1

11. Serif Fonts A tail or stroke appears at the end of some characters Serif fonts generally used in text passages Sample Serif Fonts Garamond Goudy Old Style Times New Roman Courier New Lesson 1

12. Sans Serif Fonts No tail or stroke appears at the end of any character Sans Serif fonts generally used for headlines Sample Sans Serif Fonts Arial Bauhaus Century Gothic Berlin Sans FB Lesson 1

13. Symbol Fonts Used to display unique characters Sample Symbols £ ™ © # é ∑   Lesson 1

14. Type Size Character size within a font is measured in points PostScript measurements: 1 inch = 72 points or 6 picas 1 pica = 12 points Traditional measurements: 1 inch = 72.27 points Lesson 1

15. Using Type Size Default Photoshop type size is 12 points In Photoshop, use either PostScript measurements or traditional measurements Lesson 1

16. Acquiring Fonts Most computer systems include many fonts Download/purchase additional fonts from private companies, individual designers, computer stores, catalog companies, or Web sites on the Internet Lesson 1

17. Lesson 2 © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

18. How to Create Type Click the Horizontal Type tool on the Tools panel Click the Set the font family list arrow on the Options bar Select the required font and font size Click in the image, then type the text Lesson 2

19. Change Spacing &Adjust Baseline Shift Understanding Spacing Make finite adjustments to the space between characters and between lines of type These adjustments are called type spacing Type spacing affects the ease with which words are read Lesson 2

20. Spacing Terms Monotype spacing Proportional spacing Kerning Tracking Leading Lesson 2

21. Monotype Spacing Used by typewriters Each character occupies the same amount of space For example, “o” and “w” take the same space as “i” and “l” Lesson 2

22. Proportional Spacing Used in desktop publishing and word processing Each character takes up a different amount of space, depending on its width Lesson 2

23. Kerning Controls the amount of space between characters Lesson 2

24. Tracking Inserts a uniform amount of space between selected characters Very Tight Tight Normal Loose Very Loose Lesson 2

25. Leading Amount of space between lines of type Leading is 50 points Leading is 75 points Lesson 2

26. Using the Character Panel The Character panel is used to control type properties such as kerning, tracking, and leading Lesson 2

27. Defining Baseline Shift An invisible line on which type rests The Character panel is used to adjust the baseline shift: Vertical distance that type moves from its baseline Lesson 2

29. Checking Spelling The Spelling Checker checks the spelling of type on the current layer or on all the layers in the image To check spelling: Click Edit on the Application bar Click Check Spelling Lesson 3

30. Use the Drop Shadow Style Adding Effects to Type Effects are layer styles which can be applied to a type or an image layer Use styles to enhance the appearance of text and improve its effectiveness Lesson 3

31. Viewing Effects The Layers panel shows what effects have been applied to text Layer styles applied to the text “Fresh Ideas” Lesson 3

32. Applying a Style To apply a style: Click Layer on the Application bar Point to Layer Style Click a style Work in the Layer Style dialog box to add effects to type Lesson 3

33. Layer Style Dialog Box Lesson 3

34. Using the Drop Shadow Create an illusion that another colored layer of identical text is behind the selected type Lesson 3

35. Controlling a Drop Shadow Options to control: Angle: where the shadow falls relative to the text Distance behind the type that the shadow appears Width of the shadow text (spread) Amount of blur (size) Lesson 3

36. Drop Shadow Settings Lesson 3

37. Lesson 4 © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

38. Apply Anti-Aliasing to Type Used to prevent jagged edges (jaggies) that can accompany bitmap type Partially fills in pixel edges with additional colors to produce smooth-edge type Use on type with a point size greater than 12 point Lesson 4

39. Five Anti-Aliasing Methods None Sharp Crisp Lesson 4 None – applies no anti-aliasing and can result in type with jagged edges. Sharp – sets display type with the best possible resolution Crisp – gives type more definition and makes type appear sharper.

40. Five Anti-Aliasing Methods Strong Smooth Lesson 4 Strong – makes type appear heavier, similar to bold Smooth – gives type more rounded edges

42. Modify Type with the Bevel & Emboss Style Using the Bevel & Emboss Style Used to add combinations of shadows and highlights to a layer Gives type the appearance of dimension and shine Use the Layer menu or Layers panel to apply the Bevel and Emboss style to the active layer Lesson 5

43. Bevel and Emboss Settings Structure determines the size and physical properties of the object Shading determines the light effects Lesson 5

44. Bevel and Emboss Samples Inner Bevel Outer Bevel Emboss Pillow Emboss Lesson 5

45. Bevel and Emboss Structure Settings Lesson 5

46. Using Repoussé Used to turn a 2-dimensional object into a 3- dimensional object Lets you rotate, roll, pan, slide, and scale an object Can be applied to a type or image layer using the 3D menu or the 3D Scene panel in the 3D workspace Lesson 5

47. Using Repoussé Lesson 5

48. Lesson 6 © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

49. Applying Special Effects with Filters Filters can be applied to a type layer The type layer must first be rasterized: converted to an image layer After rasterizing, the type layer cannot be edited for type content Lesson 6

50. Sample Filters Lesson 6

51. Creating Text on a Path Create a shape Add type to the shape (path) Lesson 7
