Try out the latest features and enhancements.

Add or place text

  1. Open a photo or Photoshop document (PSD).

  2. From the toolbar, select the Type tool  or simply press ‘T’ to quickly select it. The Horizontal Type Tool with which you can add text horizontally is selected by default. If you want to add text vertically, select the Type tool again and select Vertical Type Tool from the context menu. 

  3. Do you want to add a few words like a heading or title? Click anywhere on the canvas to type it. In Photoshop, this is called point text.

    The other type of text in Photoshop is called paragraph text. As the name suggests, this is used when you want to type a paragraph. Select and drag the cursor on the canvas to create a bounding box in which you can type your paragraph. This helps you efficiently edit and align the paragraph later.

    Nota:

    A type layer gets automatically created when you create point or paragraph text and can be identified in the Layers panel with the T icon.

    A screenshot of the Type tool in Adobe Photoshop on desktop is highlighted. The workspace displays an image of a room with large windows overlooking a tree with pink blossoms. The Layers panel on the right side shows a text layer titled ‘Lorem Ipsum’ currently selected and highlighted in orange. This indicates that the Type tool is being used to add or edit text in the image..
