Constrain Text Inside A Box: Photoshop Elements

This tip demonstrates how to constrain text inside a rectangular-shaped box: I am using Photoshop Elements 8.  First, open an image onto Elements’ workspace.

Then from the left-side Toolbar, activate the Horizontal Type Tool (Text Tool Tutorial Here).

Now, left-click over your image and drag out a Rectangular-Shaped Bounding Box, as illustrated below.

Then type in your desired text.  The Bounding Box will then constrain it to a rectangular shape.

Note
Both the text and the bounding box can be edited.

To edit your Text: first highlight it with your cursor, then from the Tool Options Bar, change the text’s attributes.

Best Wishes.
