Text Style

 

Text Style

There are two kinds of style parameters: Character Style (e.g. text size, color, ...), which can be different for each character, and Paragraph Style (e.g. text aligning, margin etc.), which is shared by the whole paragraph.

Character properties can be found in the Character panel (Window - Character), while Paragraph properties can be found in the Paragraph panel (Window - Paragraph). Some basic Character and Paragraph properties can be found also in the top menu of a Type tool.

When the type layer is selected (in the Layers panel), you can change the style (e.g. the font family or aligning) of the whole layer. Another option is to enter the layer and select a specific part of the text. As you change the style, it will be applied only to the selected part of the text.

Align

Aligning of a Paragraph text layer is computed with respect to the sides of the rectangle. Aligning of a Point text layer is computed according to the point of origin. Below, we can see a Point and a Paragraph text with the same three paragraphs. The first paragraph is aligned to the left, the second is aligned to the right, and the third is aligned to the center.

Writing directions

When you use e.g. latin and arabic words in the same text, they direction of writing is detected automatically, just as in any other text editor. But there is so-called base direction, which is necessary for the correct rendering of bidirectional text and punctuations. You can change the base direction in the Paragraph window.

Custom fonts

Photopea has a huge database of royalty-free fonts. If you are using a free font, there is almost a 100% chance, that it is already available in PP.

For all other fonts, Photopea allows you to open them (TTF or OTF files) the same way you open any other file (File - Open, or drag-and-drop). They will be added to the end of the font list and used, when some type layer needs them.

Guides, Grid and Snapping

  Guides, Grid and Snapping Precise position of image elements can be very important. The basic tool, which can help us align image elements, are  rulers . Rulers can be enabled in View - Rulers. But there are several other ways how to align elements precisely. Guides There can be multiple guides in a PSD document. A guide is a horizontal or a vertical line, which is displayed over the document and can help you align elements. To add or delete a guide, select the Move tool and enable rulers. To add a guide, click on the ruler and drag the mouse into the document. To delete a guide, click on it and drag it onto the ruler. To move existing guides, click on them with a Move tool and drag them to a new location. Grid Designers often need to place some elements regularly, with an equal distance between them. Instead of adding many guides with the same spaces between them, we can use the  grid . A regular grid will be displayed over your document, which can help you align other elements. Pix

  Text P utting text into images is an essential operation of image editing. Photopea offers a rich set of tools for working with text. Text is stored in PSD documents inside   Type Layers , which have a thumbnail with a capital letter T on it. There are three kinds of Type layers: Point text  - defined by the point of origin. The text starts at that point and continues on a single line until the line break (Enter). Paragraph text  - defined by the rectangle. Paragraphs are broken automatically into multiple lines to fill the rectangle. Text on a curve  - defined by a curve, letters are arranged along the curve. Creating a Type layer The  Type tool  is used for working with Type layers:  . To create a  Point text , choose a Type tool and click (press and release) the mouse at some place, which will become the origin. To create a  Paragraph text , press the mouse and drag it to draw a rectangle, then release the mouse. After creating the new Type layer, you can start typing. If you clic
