Photoshop, despite the fact that it is a raster editor, provides quite wide opportunities for creating and editing texts. Not, of course, but it’s quite enough for developing website designs, business cards, and advertising posters.
In addition to directly editing text content, the program allows you to decorate fonts using styles. You can add shadows, glow, embossing, gradient fill and other effects to the font.
In this lesson we will learn how to create and edit text content in Photoshop.
In Photoshop there is a group of tools designed for creating texts. Like all tools, it is located on the left panel. The group contains four instruments: "Horizontal Text", "Vertical Text", "Horizontal Text Mask" and "Vertical Text Mask".
Let's talk about these tools in more detail.
Horizontal Text and Vertical Text
These tools allow you to create labels in horizontal and vertical orientation, respectively. A text layer containing the appropriate content is automatically created in the Layers palette. We will discuss the operating principle of the tool in the practical part of the lesson.
Horizontal text mask and Vertical text mask
When using these tools, a temporary quick mask is created. The text is printed in the usual way, the color is not important. In this case, a text layer is not created.
After activating the layer (click on the layer), or selecting another tool, the program creates a selected area in the form of written text.
This selection can be used for different purposes: simply paint it over with some color, or use it to cut out text from an image.
Text blocks
In addition to linear (one line) texts, Photoshop allows you to create text blocks. The main difference is that the content contained in such a block cannot go beyond its boundaries. In addition, “extra” text is hidden from visibility. Text blocks are subject to scaling and distortion. More details in practice.
We've talked about the main tools for creating text, let's move on to the settings.
Text settings
Text can be customized in two ways: directly during editing, when you can assign different properties to individual characters,
or apply the edit and adjust the properties of the entire text layer.
Editing is applied in the following ways: by clicking the check mark button on the top options bar,
Click on the editable text layer in the layers palette,
or by activating any tool. In this case, you can edit the text only in the palette "Symbol".
Text settings are found in two places: in the top options bar (with the tool activated "Text") and in palettes "Paragraph" And "Symbol".
Options panel:
"Paragraph" And "Symbol":
Palette data is called up through the menu "Window".
Let's move directly to the basic text settings.
Additional font settings in the Character palette
In the palette "Symbol" There are settings that are not available in the Options Bar.
Practice
1. Line.
To write text in one line, you need to take a tool "Text"(horizontal or vertical), click on the canvas and print what you need. Key ENTER moves to a new line.
2. Text block.
To create a text block, you also need to activate the tool "Text", click on the canvas and, without releasing the mouse button, stretch the block.
The block is scaled using the markers located at the bottom of the frame.
The block is distorted while holding down the key CTRL. It’s difficult to give any advice here, try interacting with different markers.
For both options, entering text by copy-paste (copy-paste) is supported.
This concludes the lesson on editing text in Photoshop. If, due to circumstances, you need to often work with texts, then study this lesson thoroughly and practice.
Working in Adobe Photoshop, you can create the most complex graphic works. One of the fairly common operations is deleting or replacing text. The complexity of this operation depends on the format in which the original drawing is located.

How to work with text in Photoshop? How to create a colorful inscription for a holiday greeting? Is it possible to write a word into a shape in Photoshop? Is it possible in Adobe Photoshop to place text along a selected path? Is it possible to deform letters? What do you need to do to fill text with a pattern or gradient? Many people have asked themselves these questions.
The answer was given by Alvaro Guzman in the article “A Comprehensive Introduction to the Type Tool”. In it you will find all the answers to questions about using the Photoshop Type Tool (Text). The article contains many screenshots illustrating all the settings on specific examples. Read and see examples!
The Type Tool (Text) is one of the most powerful and useful tools in Adobe Photoshop. We've all used it at least once, but do you know its full potential? That's why I decided to write complete guide about using the Type Tool (Text) and most important features this tool.
Basic concepts.
Type Tool (Text) is a Photoshop tool that is a set of vector paths and mathematical shapes for defining font characters. It is located in the Toolbox in Photoshop in the shape of the letter T. The tool is multiple.
Hotkey "T" - text. If you press and hold the T button, you will see four options for this tool:
- Horizontal Type Tool - a tool for creating horizontal standard text (from left to right and top to bottom), normal text by default. Writes in the color selected as Foreground Color.
- Vertical Type Tool - a tool for creating vertical text (top to bottom and right to left), useful for creating inscriptions in oriental languages such as Japanese or Chinese.
- Horizontal Type Mask Tool - creates a quick mask using a selection in the form of the entered text.
- Vertical Type Mask Tool (Vertical text mask) - creates a quick mask, vertical selection.
Creating a text layer.
There are two ways to create a text layer:
Point Type: - this option will create a single line text layer. Click the mouse where you want to write the text. A flashing vertical cursor will appear at the click location. After entering the text, click on the checkmark in the options bar (05) (apply the current edit) or by clicking once on the layer with the text, or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Enter, you can also press Enter on the numeric keypad. If you simply press Enter, the cursor will move to the next line, prompting you to continue entering text.
Paragraph Type: Allows you to create a text layer within a bounding box. It is very useful for print and web design. Using the Type tool, select space for the text. Start from the top left corner and drag the cursor diagonally to the right size, enter text and press Ctrl+Enter. Text can not only be entered (from the keyboard), but also inserted from other editors.
Important: The Type Tool (Text) always creates a new layer for new text.
If you finish entering your text and look at the Layers palette, you will find that your text is on a new layer, designated by the letter T.
Change the size and shape of text.
You can resize and move each text layer like any other using the Move Tool. Using the Free Transform command ( Free transformation) you can resize, rotate, warp, and distort text in the same way as with other objects. You can apply a variety of ones to the created text.
You can also change the size of the text using the Paragraph Type selection frame: the squares at the corners of the rectangle and in the middle of the segments are called nodes; by dragging them you can perform any transformation of the shape of the selected text. To maintain proportions, hold down the Shift key.
To change the size of the previously created text, select the Type Tool (Text) and click the mouse cursor on the text layer on top of the inscription.
Click and drag a node to resize the editing frame.
To rotate the text, select the Type Tool (Text) and click on the text layer on top of the inscription.
Then move the cursor so that it is outside the editing frame. The cursor should change into a curved arrow and rotate the created text.
Hold Ctrl and drag the node and get an angular change.
Formatting text
After entering some text, you may need to change the font typeface, color and other parameters. Select the menu command Window > Character and the Character palette will open in front of you, very useful when working with text. In this palette you can change the following parameters: ( Attention! The characters that you will change need to be highlighted):
Font Family, Font Style – select the typeface and font style.
Font Size – adjust the font size (size)
Text Color – change text color
Kerning – configure kerning (distance between certain pairs of characters)
Tracking – set inter-character spacing, sparse or condensed text.
Vertical and Horizontal Scaling – scale text vertically and horizontally. You can resize the text layer in the window
Vertical Scale and Horizontal Scale. These settings distort the shape of the characters, which can be undesirable.
Baseline Shift – shift of the base line. This option allows you to raise or lower individual characters relative to the entire line by a specified amount.
Not all fonts are bold and italic. If there is still a need to make the text bold or italic, use the Faux Bold and Faux Italic functions. This function creates a bold variant automatically. Click on the Faux Bold button and the text will be written in bold font.
Faux Italic (false italic). If the font you choose does not have an italic option, simply click the Faux Italic button and you will get the text written in italics.
Some artistic fonts, stylized as handwritten text, initially have italic characters. When using Faux Italic, the letters become even more slanted. In many fonts, the original style of Italic characters is different from Normal. The Faux Italic function does not take this into account.
Below are examples: Faux Bold for the Arial font, which does not distort the shape of the font, and Faux Italic for the Myriad Pro font, which distorts the original italic style of the font (look at the "a" symbol, for example)
You can also easily convert characters to uppercase using All Caps. When you press the All Caps button, all characters will appear in uppercase as if you had pressed the Caps Lock key.
Small Caps. Pressing this button results in writing in capital letters, but smaller in size, the same as lowercase. The changes do not affect letters written in upper case.
Subscript (Lower Index) and Superscript (Superscript)
This function reduces the size of the letters and moves the top border of the line down, while the bottom border remains the same. If a particular font does not support a subscript style, Photoshop generates one. Additionally, in Photoshop, you can edit text designs such as underlining or strikethrough. Using the Underline function, a horizontal line of the same color as the text is set under the line. When choosing a vertical text arrangement, right and left vertical underlining is possible.
Strikethrough. This function creates a horizontal line in the middle of the line if the text is horizontal, or a vertical line if the text is vertical.
Anti-aliasing. This option is intended for smoothing and eliminating irregularities in small fonts. There are anti-aliasing options: none, sharp, clear, rich, smooth.
Leading. This feature allows you to adjust the distance between the baselines of adjacent lines.
Paragraph palette overview
The Paragraph palette is designed to align text. This dialog box can be opened by selecting Window > Paragraph. Since a text layer can contain multiple lines, formatting them is very important to the quality of any design.
Create a text layer, type some text and click on the layer thumbnail to activate options for all text. You can also select a portion of text with your mouse and apply paragraph formatting only to the selected portion of your text layer.
Let's look at ways to align text in Photoshop.
Align. As you can clearly see on the buttons, you can choose to align text to left, center, and right
Justification (Intervals) and Hyphenation (Transfer) - these dialog boxes can be entered by clicking the arrow in the upper right corner of the Paragraph palette. The text input language is essential; the dictionary can be selected.
Justification (Intervals). Here you can change the values of Word Spacing (Distance between words) and Letter Spacing (Interletter distances), Gyph Scaling.
Hyphenate (Transfer). Here you can install various parameters hyphenation arrangements. If you check the Hyphenate checkbox, hyphens will be placed automatically. (Just in case, do not forget to check the correctness of the transfers)
Setting indents between paragraphs is easy: just select the text layer, or make a selection of the text you want, and specify the desired option in the dialog box, as shown below.
Indent Left Margin
Indent Right Margin+ Indent First Line (Right margin indent + first line indent of paragraph)
Add Space After Paragraph
Warp text.
One of the most powerful features of the Type Tool is the ability to warp any text layer to suit your specific needs. To warp a text layer, double-click on the text layer's thumbnail and click on the Create Warped Text button in the Options menu. You will be prompted to select a Warp Style.
The Vertical or Horizontal switch applies the selected style in the horizontal or vertical plane.
The Bend control determines the degree of deformation.
The Horizontal and Vertical Distortion controls additionally deform the text in the horizontal and vertical planes.
Below are examples of text deformation when different meanings parameters:
You can create a text warp like in " Star Wars"Using Vertical Distortion and the Gradient tool in the Layer Mask, which is used to partially hide the text at the top.
Text deformation tools in Photoshop give interesting effects. You can try different ways to warp the text, but warping will not work if you have previously applied Faux Bold and Faux Italic to the text.
How to write text along a contour. Type on a Path
You can create text that curves along a path. The outline can be created using tools Pen Tool(Pen) or Vector Shape Tool (Vector Shape)
Create any curve with a pen, select the Type Tool (Text) and place the cursor somewhere on the path. The mouse pointer will change appearance. Now you can enter text.
The process of creating text from a shape is just as simple. Create the shape you need, use the Path Selection Tool to activate the contour. As soon as the outline is displayed, select the Type Tool (Text) and print. Good effect can be obtained by slightly enlarging the base line - a space will be created between the shape and the text. Example below.
Sometimes you need to flip text relative to an outline or place it inside a shape. To do this, select the Path Selection tool, place the cursor over the text until you get the cursor type as a small black arrow and drag the cursor below the base level. The text will be flipped. Use the same method to flip the text and place it on the form.
Convert text to form
Sometimes you need to be able to make changes to the shape of symbols. For example, to create logos. To do this, simply create a text layer or select a previously created one and go to Layer > Type > Convert to Shape. This tool converts text into a Vector Layer Mask and can be edited like any other vector shape. You can also create a work path by going to Layer > Type > Convert Work Path. The outline can be edited simply by dragging the anchor points, thus creating a new outline of the selected characters.
Type Mask Tool
Finally, we also need to consider the selection tools: Horizontal Type Mask and Vertical Type Mask.
These tools create a selection area on the active layer as a text shape. With it you can create a Layer Mask or Quick Mask mode. This text-shaped selection can easily be filled with color, a gradient, a pattern, or used as a layer mask. The text created in this way cannot be formatted - it is a raster image. Below is an example of using Horizontal Type Mask to create a layer mask on a painting.
Finally, we must not forget that you can apply a variety of ready-made ones to the text layer, achieving beautiful effects simple methods Photoshop.
Note! Fonts do not have to be installed in the Windows system folder; it is possible to temporarily download the font before rebooting/shutting down the computer; more information about installing fonts in Photoshop is described.
Changing the font preview size
In the Preview window, Photoshop shows not only the name of each font, but also displays a preview of the sample appearance(for a sample, the word “Sample” is used, located to the right of the font name):
We can change the font preview size. Depending on the version, below CS5 you need to go to the main menu tab Editing --> Settings --> Text (Edit --> Preferences --> Type), in versions higher - through the main menu tab Text --> Viewing font size ( Type --> Font Preview Size). By default, the size is set to Medium. For example, I will choose the most large size, here's what the font preview samples now look like:
Don't forget that you can always go back and select smaller sample sizes.
Choosing a font style (font style)
Once you have chosen the font itself, we can select its style by clicking on the triangle on the right side of the style selection window. Set the desired font style by selecting Regular, Bold, Italic:
Setting the font size
Select the size for your font by clicking on the triangle on the right side of the size selection window. This will open a list of commonly used preset sizes, which you can choose from 6 px to 72 px:
If none of these sizes meets your needs, you can manually set any of your own values by clicking in the size field, entering the value, then pressing Enter; it is not necessary to put “px” units at the end of the number, because Photoshop will automatically add it when you press Enter. Another way to resize is to move the mouse cursor slightly to the left of the input window, press the left key (the cursor will change to a finger with arrows) and drag the cursor left or right to increase or decrease the size:
Selecting text color
To the right is a bar where we can set the color of the text. By default, the color is set to black. To change the color, click on the swatch. Photoshop will open the Color Picker where we can choose a different color for the text:
Adding text to a Photoshop document
As I mentioned briefly at the beginning of the tutorial, there are two different methods of adding text to a Photoshop document, the normal (line) method and the adding text to an area method. The difference between them is that the first method is mainly used to add a small amount of text to the document (one or more letters or words, a title, etc.), while adding to an area is used to add more text inside a predefined area.
Here we will consider the first method, because... it is used in the vast majority of cases.
To add text to a document, select the "Text" tool, move the cursor to the point where you want the text to begin and press the left mouse button. A flashing marker on the document will indicate that Photoshoop is ready to enter text:
At the same time, Photoshop will add a new, special type of layer to the layers palette, called a text layer, it can be easily identified by its thumbnail in the form of the letter T. Every time we add text to a document, it is located on a new text layer. Photoshop initially names the new layer "Layer 1", but the name will change as soon as we enter text, as we'll look at a little later:
Once the flashing marker appears in your document, you can start typing.
Moving text across an image
If you need to move the printed text, you can do it easily.
To move text across an image, move the cursor slightly away from the text. it will change its appearance from an I-beam to the Move Tool icon, after changing the cursor appearance, hold down the left mouse button and drag the text to the desired location:
Accepting and completing text editing
What is text acceptance? After accepting the text, editing of the current text layer is completed and this layer is exited. At the same time, the "Text" tool itself remains active. If you click on the document after accepting, Photoshop will create a new text layer.
When you finish entering the required letters, you should exit this text layer. To do this, click on the checkmark in the options bar:
Either press the Enter key located in the lower right corner of the numeric keypad (not the Enter we usually press!), or the regular Enter+Ctrl combination.
Once you've accepted your text, Photoshop renames the text layer using the first letters of the text as the new name for the layer, this is very useful when working with multiple text layers:
Cancel or delete text
If you want to delete text to Togo? Once you have accepted it, simply press the Esc key. Photoshop will delete the text and the text layer.
To delete already accepted text, you need to drag the text layer to the trash in the layers panel.
Text alignment options
In addition, in the options bar there are three options for text alignment - align left, center, right. By default, the left alignment option is selected, which means that as you type text, it will be added to the right of the starting point. If we select the "align right" option, the text will be added to the left of the starting point. If we select the "align center" option, then as we type, the text will be added in both directions at the same distance from the insertion point.
It's best to make sure you have the correct alignment option selected before you start entering text. But you can change the alignment of already entered text; to do this, you need to select the desired text with the mouse cursor and click on the alignment option. In the picture I made an animation of text input with the "center alignment" option:
Selecting and editing text
After entering text, we can easily go back and change any part of the text, as in any text editor program.
You can move through the text using the keyboard arrows, or you can click the mouse in desired area. Delete letters as usual, using the Backspace key - the left letter from the cursor. Select (select) letters using Shift and keyboard arrows, or with the mouse.
To instantly select a word, double-click on it with the mouse; to select a line, click on the line three times:
If you have several lines of text separated by line breaks, double-click on the text layer thumbnail to select all the text:
Also, we can change the font, size and style of the text; to do this, we need to select the desired area and change the corresponding parameter in the options bar.
Changing Text Color in Photoshop
Using the same principle, we can change the color of the text. To do this, you need to select the desired area, click on the colored square in the options bar, select a color in the window that opens and click OK:

Instructions
If the image came to you in *.PSD format, that is, in the Photoshop program format, replacing any inscription is not difficult - provided that the inscription is located on a separate layer. In this case, open: “Window” - “Layers” or just press F7. A window with layers will appear. Select the layer with the inscription, then move the cursor to the inscription itself and click with the mouse. Now you can easily erase the old inscription and insert a new one. When replacing, do not remove all letters at once to preserve the format text.
Much more often the user has to work with a regular image in *.jpeg format. The difficulty of replacing the inscription in this case directly depends on the background on which it is located. If, select the Eyedropper tool and click on the text - you need to remember its color. Click the primary color picker (the top square at the bottom of the toolbar) and write down the color data.
After recording the color parameters, select “Edropper” again and click on the background next to the text to be replaced. Now paint over the old text using the Brush tool. If necessary, apply blur to make the background uniform.
Open the primary color picker again and enter the remote color data text. Select the Type tool. Set the font settings to the same as those for the filled inscription. Move the cursor to the starting point text and click the mouse. Enter the required text. If it is different from before, go back and adjust its parameters.
If you need to change not all the text, but several letters, select the “Enlarge” tool and enlarge the desired letter to such a size that the pixel structure of the image (small squares) is visible. Now, by changing the color of individual pixels, adjust the text as needed. Insert background pixels somewhere, pixels corresponding to color somewhere text. This work will require a lot of time and effort, but the result will be very good.

One of the effective techniques when creating a photo collage is to replace the old background photographs on another. This allows you to transfer the characters in the photograph to any locale that corresponds to the author’s intentions - exotic or even fantastic. This can be done using the arsenal of tools in Adobe Photoshop.
Instructions
To replace the background in a digital image, first of all, it is necessary that the characters or objects that are not the background be separated from the actual background - now unnecessary - fragments of the image. You can do this in many ways: either by manually tracing the outlines of shapes using the tools from the Lasso set, automatically selecting image fragments using the Magic Wand and Quick Selection tools, creating in different ways masks, etc. One way or another, combining the functions of the tools described above, in the end, you need to get a selection - the necessary areas should be framed along the contour with flickering borders. Now you need to ensure that the rest of the image becomes transparent so that a new background can take its place.
Having a selection, make the layer invisible. To do this, you need to add a transparency mask to the layer. This function is available through the menu Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection (Layer>Layer Mask>Assign Selection) or by clicking on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel. You will see how the objects you circled remained visible, and everything that was outside the boundaries of the selection became invisible - instead of an image, the gray squares of the technical background There is one pitfall in this seemingly simple operation. The described procedure for any Photoshop layer, except for a layer of type Background. Technically, there is no way you can assign a transparency mask to this layer. (To see if this is so, take a close look at the layers panel, which can be opened by pressing F7) This layer is created by default by the program as the base layer of a digital image and differs from the rest in that it has a significant number of limitations - including cannot be moved from its place and cannot change transparency settings. What then? – Remove these restrictions by making this layer an ordinary standard layer. To do this, you need to use the context menu that opens when you right-click (if you are working in Windows system) on the line with the layer name in the list, select the Layer from Background menu item. This command is also available through the main menu Layer>New>Layer from Background. This will replace the Background layer with a regular image layer. Now the restrictions are removed, and you can follow the above procedure for assigning a transparency mask to a layer.
Let's open the file with the future background. Let's copy the image from it to the clipboard. To do this, select either a fragment of the image - for example, using the tools from the Marquee set - or simply select the entire field of the image by pressing Ctrl + A (or selecting Select All from the Selection menu). After selection, place the selected fragment on the clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C or selecting Copy from the Edit menu.
Now we return to the original photo and paste the contents of the buffer - our new background. We carry out this operation by pressing Ctrl + V, or by finding the Paste item in the Edit menu. A new layer has appeared in our composition, which contains the background image. It may happen that the new layer will be located above the original transparent layer - it will overlap the latter completely or partially. Of course, this is incorrect, and to restore order, let’s go to the layers panel and swap – simply by dragging with the mouse – the columns with the names of the layers so that the “background” layer is lower and the “characters” layer is higher.
It rarely happens that two images match at once. The inserted background may turn out to be either too bulky or, on the contrary, somewhat smaller required size, regarding the original depiction of the characters. We change the geometric dimensions by selecting the desired layer in the list in the layers panel and pressing the key combination Ctrl+T. After this, small square indicators will appear along the edges of the layer, by moving which you can change the size and location of the layer, gradually achieving a harmonious relative position background and characters. Having finished the transformation, press the Enter key, thereby confirming the final selection of the required size.
Next, as a rule, it is necessary to perform another rather complex operation. Both photographs, now in one composition, were taken, of course, under different lighting, equipment, etc. This usually becomes egregious when they are combined. One image may be strikingly lighter or darker than another, photographs may have differences in color tone - one may be, for example, yellower, another blue, etc. All this will definitely catch the viewer’s eye, and if you don’t specifically achieve the effect of unnaturalness in your collage, you will have to work hard. However, with even a small amount of time, sequentially creating adjustment layers that partially or completely change the brightness and color of each of the images, after a while you will be able to achieve their natural ratio.
By the way, very often the degree of unnaturalness of the combination is caused by an inaccurately created transparency mask of the main layer. Remnants of the former may “glow” along its contours. background, and small and delicate details - hair or folds of clothing - can, on the contrary, be roughly cut off, creating a feeling of “amputation”. All this is fixable - the transparency mask can be completed and changed at any time.
Of course, you can add more elements to the composition, arranging them as additional details background– below the main image, or adding them to the foreground as details of the surroundings. Also, if something doesn’t fit, or, conversely, there is a lot of extra space left, you will need to change the size and proportions of the working area of the image - this is also done quite simply, through the main menu Image>Canvas Size.

How to change the background in Photoshop? To do this, select the Blur tool. Then hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor along the contour of the silhouette, thereby blurring the sharp boundaries between the two combined images. This way, you can easily replace the background in your photo, thereby getting an even more interesting photograph.

The need to remove from the image inscription can occur both when processing a photo with an automatically dated date, or when restoring an old scanned photo. Photoshop tools such as Clone Stamp, Patch or Spot Healing Brush are suitable for this purpose.
You will need
- - Photoshop program;
- - image.
Instructions
Open the image from inscription yu in Photoshop using the Open option of the File menu. If the letters or numbers that need to be removed from the image are located on a single-color, smooth background without noise or texture, no special effort will be required from you. Using the combination Shift+Ctrl+N, add a new layer on top of the image and, using the Brush tool, paint over the characters with the background color.
The Median filter can help in removing small inscriptions from multi-colored backgrounds. Create a copy of the image using the Ctrl+J key combination and apply Median to the resulting layer, opening the settings using the Median option in the Noise group of the Filter menu. Adjust the filter radius so that the lines that make up inscription, disappeared. In this case, the contours of the rest of the picture will become completely blurred, but you still have the original version of the picture at your disposal, this can be corrected.
Using the Hide All option of the Layer Mask group of the Layer menu, hide the results of applying the filter under the mask. Zoom in and paint the mask in the text area with white.
If there is a suitable area in the picture that can be used to close inscription or a fragment of it, apply the Patch Tool to the layer with a copy of the original image. Having turned on the Source option in the settings, circle the found fragment and drag it onto the letters. If the border of the applied patch intersects with the lines forming inscription, the picture will have an effect similar to a flowing watercolor, since the patch in this area will adjust to the color of the font.
In Photoshop CS5 you can try to remove inscription using the Spot Healing Brush tool. To use it, add a transparent layer to the file and, if the Content-Aware option is disabled in the tool settings, enable it. Using the Sample all layers option, paint over inscription with the selected brush on a new layer. In earlier versions of Photoshop, the Spot Healing Brush does not always edit large areas of the image correctly.
If part of the inscription cannot be removed using other tools, turn on the Clone Stamp Tool, zoom in on the image and close inscription pixels copied from surrounding areas of the image. It is wiser to apply Clone Stamp not to the original image, but to the transparent layer lying above it. The Sample all layers option, enabled in the tool settings, will help you do this.
Find an area of the image, a fragment of which can be used to cover the adjacent section of the inscription, and click on it while holding Alt on the keyboard. Release the button and fill in the letters. To obtain high-quality results on complex backgrounds, work with a small diameter brush and re-define the cloning source more often.

Fonts in the Adobe Photoshop graphics editor they are used not only to place any inscriptions on the image. Some special fonts contain, for example, sets of frames, company logos, road signs, or even cartoon characters. You can use these fonts in the same way as standard ones, and adding a new font to your Photoshop collection is not difficult.
Instructions
To install an additional font in Adobe Photoshop, the graphic editor itself is not required, so you don’t even need to launch it. If you are using one of latest versions Windows OS - Vista or Seven - the easiest way to perform all the necessary operations is using the standard file manager - “Explorer”. Launch this application by double-clicking on the “Computer” object on the system desktop.
Using the directory tree in the left panel of the application, go to the folder where the font file is stored and right-click on it. The context menu that will appear on the screen as a result for all files with font extensions (ttf, otf) contains an additional item - “Install”. Select it, and the procedure can be considered complete.
