Constrain Text Inside A Box: Photoshop Elements
Posted By admin On 05/03/2010 @ 01:29 pm In Photoshop Elements | Comments Disabled

This tip demonstrates how to constrain text inside a rectangular-shaped box: I am using [1] Photoshop Elements 8. First, open an image onto Elements’ workspace.

Then from the left-side Toolbar, activate the Horizontal Type Tool ([2] 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.
