You can add text and shapes of different color, styles, and effects to an image. Use the Horizontal Type and Vertical Type tools to create and edit text. You can create single-line text or paragraph text.

About text

Use the Horizontal Type () and Vertical Type () tools to create and edit text. The new text you type is entered in a new text layer. You can create single-line text or paragraph text. Each line of single line text you enter is independent—the length of a line grows or shrinks as you edit it, but it doesn’t wrap to the next line. To create a new line of text, press Enter. Paragraph text wraps within the paragraph boundaries you specify.

About text
Single-line text (top of image) and paragraph text (bottom of image).

Observação:

You can use the type mask tools (Alt/Option-click the Type tool to change the current tool) to create a selection in the shape of text. You can then create different effects and cutouts with the text.

Clicking in an image with a type tool puts the tool in edit mode so you can enter and edit text. You must commit changes to the type before you can perform other operations, like selecting menu commands. The Type tool is in edit mode when you see the Confirm button   and Reject button  below the text.

Observação:

When you add text to an image that’s in indexed color mode, Photoshop Elements does not create a new text layer. The text you type appears as masked text.

Add text

  1. From the toolbar, select the Horizontal Type tool  or the Vertical Type tool  .
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To create a single line of text, click in the image to set an insertion point for the type.

    • To create paragraph text, drag a rectangle to create a textbox for the type.

    The small line through the I‑beam marks the position of the type baseline. For horizontal type, the baseline marks the line on which the type rests; for vertical type, the baseline marks the center axis of the type characters.

  3. (Optional) Select type options, such as font, style, size, and color, in the tool options bar.

  4. Type the characters you want. If you did not create a textbox, press Enter to create a new line.

Create and use masked type

The Horizontal Type Mask tool and Vertical Type Mask tool create a selection in the shape of text. You can have fun with text selection borders by cutting text out of an image to show the background, or pasting the selected text into a new image. Experiment with different options to personalize your images and compositions.
