Add stylized text to an image
When you add text to an image, a text layer is added, so you can modify the text without affecting the original image.
1 In the Content panel, click the Text icon , and then do one of the following:
• Select a thumbnail, and click Apply.
• Double-click a thumbnail.
• Drag a thumbnail to the image.
2 A text frame appears over the image and the Text tool becomes active. Type in the new text.
3 When you are finished changing the text, either click the Commit icon to apply the change, or click the Cancel
icon .
4 Use the Move tool to relocate or resize the text frame.
5 (Optional) Add color to the text using the pop-up Color panel in the options bar.
6 When you finish adjusting the text, either click the Commit icon to apply the change, or click the Cancel
icon .
7 (Optional) To experiment with different text effects, drag a different thumbnail over the text frame.
