One of the most used programs currently to edit images or photos is Photoshop , being a program that is within the reach of many, so it is necessary to fully understand the operation of the tools that it has , since since its creation until now they have been designed other functions as well as incorporating usage options.
At first its editing functions were basic, such as adding frames with color effects. But today it already has the option of being able to write text anywhere in the photograph , text that we can perhaps adapt to a specific circle if we like. So here we will teach you how to insert the text in the Photoshop App in a simple way, you don’t have to be a professional to do it.

Is it possible to edit text in this program?
When we select the program by clicking on the toolbar to start writing, a box appears in the image towards the left side of the screen, there we get functions or options that are available to start editing the text. Each written text is configured by a layer concept represented by the letter ‘T’ which we see located in the part of the box that borders next to the text.
To edit a text in Photoshop we must select some of the layers that are in the photograph or canvas, then we proceed to select the % of the opacity as well as the fill, the font and the font size that we want to see in the text. final result, to complete the edition press the symbol in the form of a tilde or just click on ´Escape´ (Esc) to exit and voila we will have edited the text.
How can I put another type of font to the text?
To place a different type of font in Photoshop and be able to use it to write the text in your photographs you must perform the following steps:
- First you must go to the Dafontwebsite , once there we will have access to many fonts, perhaps thousands and all of them totally free, which are organized into categories.
- Then we select the one that best fits according to the project we are doing and we click Downloadafter the download is finished, we will be shown a file/RAR which we must decompress.
- To perform the decompression, we just have to click on the file and select the Extract Herefunction , several images or text files and ttf file extensions will be extracted, perhaps one or more than two ttf files will be downloaded in the process , we just have to execute it without giving importance to the order .
- Then we proceed to Installby clicking on that same option that we found located at the top left of the screen. We will see a message indicating that the installation is in process once that message disappears , the font will have been installed successfully .
- Now we must carry out the same process with the following ttffile, perhaps we will read a message on the screen indicating that said font is already installed, then we click on the word YES and thus we will know that the file has been installed.
Once the fonts are installed in the Photoshop program, we locate the typography that we do from the tool/text , a process that we can carry out with any of the fonts that we have downloaded from the Danfot page as well as from any other Similar page. At the time of installing the fonts that we are downloading, it is necessary that we save the font file , especially in case we want to send it later, so that when we send the file we attach the font so that the user can install it and have no errors when time to see the project already done.
What is the way to give effect to text in Photoshop?
We can perform various operations on the shape of the text to make a change in its presentation, for example deform it, shade a word, or convert it into various shapes, we can access these different effects by clicking on the menu/panel of actions-Text Effects .
What ways are there to put text in Photoshop?
We could say that we can follow two paths to add text to our project in Photoshop. Below we will talk about them and the steps you must follow to achieve it.
Use the add text tool
If the image with which we are working is corporate, creative and professional, to incorporate the text we must: enter Adobe/Photoshop , click on the image that we are going to modify or add the text. In the toolbar we click on ‘ text tool ‘ that is, on the letter ‘T’ once the tool is selected we will see in a box that appears several options of the position that we want to use there we must choose between Tool/vertical text- Tool/horizontal text among other options that appear, so we select the most convenient for us and start writing.
If we want to add an initial title, we just click on the image and select tool/text , press ‘Shift’ to write the title, this has the name of ‘Text Object’. Now we drag the mouse to form a box and there we begin to write the text, we select Tool / text we click towards the desired orientation and we begin to write this has the name ‘Paragraph Text’.
Through a text layer
We select the tool in the bar and we start to write we will see a little square in the image or canvas to the left of the screen, there we find the options that are available to edit the text . Each one of the texts that has been written is given the definition of the layer and this is represented by the letter ‘T’ to carry out the edition we must make the selection of a particular layer, choose the font and size that we want to apply. Now to finish we just click on Escape to exit.
