Photoshop Typography and Text 1

Question 1

Which tool in Photoshop is used to add editable text to an image?

Accepted Answer

Type Tool (T)

Answer

The Type Tool (T) creates editable text layers that remain live and editable until rasterized, and supports both point text and paragraph text.

Question 2

What is the difference between Point Text and Paragraph Text in Photoshop?

Accepted Answer

Point Text flows freely without a bounding box; Paragraph Text wraps within a defined text container

Answer

Point Text starts from a single anchor point and extends horizontally; Paragraph Text wraps within a resizable bounding box, enabling multi-line formatted text blocks.

Question 3

How do you convert a live text layer to rasterized pixels in Photoshop?

Accepted Answer

Right-click the text layer and choose Rasterize Type

Answer

Right-clicking a text layer and selecting Rasterize Type converts the live, editable vector text into a bitmap pixel layer, making it no longer editable as text.

Question 4

What is the Character panel in Photoshop used for?

Accepted Answer

Controlling font, size, leading, tracking, kerning, and other typographic properties of selected text

Answer

The Character panel provides precise control over typographic attributes including font family, style, size, leading (line spacing), kerning, tracking, baseline shift, and more.

Question 5

What is the function of the Warp Text option in Photoshop?

Accepted Answer

Distorts text along a predefined curve or warp shape such as Arc, Flag, or Fisheye

Warp Text (available in the Options Bar with the Type Tool active) deforms text along preset styles like Arc, Bulge, Fisheye, Wave, and more while keeping it fully editable.
