Creating Type Photoshop Adding type to an image When creating an image, you might want to add some form of type to it. In Photoshop, type is made up of pixels and is manipulated and enhanced in the same way as any other image. The basic look of your type before you manipulate or enhance it is determined by the fonts you have available to create the type. In cases where you want more control over the basic design of the type, you might want to use a program such as Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand to create the type and then import it into Photoshop.
Type is created in the currently selected foreground color.
Each time you select the Type tool to create new text, the type is added on a new layer. Use the Move tool to position the type where you want it. Merge Layers menu choice to merge the layers to one layer. Select the source of the new color from the Use drop-down menu and select OK to make the color change. Fill menu choice to change colors for a selection, but instead fills with a image.
