Adding text to an image and a control work

A picture often needs a headline, a signature or a caption. The type tools sit under one button (key T): horizontal and vertical type and their mask versions (Type Mask), which make a selection in the shape of the text instead. One click where the text should go starts point text, meant for short writing such as a title or signature; dragging a box makes paragraph text, handy for long text; the right-click menu converts one into the other. The options bar sets the font, style (Regular, Bold, Italic), size (points, pt), anti-aliasing, alignment and colour; the fuller settings are in the Character and Paragraph panels. To finish typing press Ctrl+Enter or the check mark, to cancel press Esc. The text sits on its own text layer and stays sharp as a vector until it is rasterised. Warp Text bends text into 15 shapes such as Arc, Wave and Flag; Layer Style (fx) adds ready effects such as shadow, stroke and glow, and the Styles panel offers a set of ready styles. 1 point = 1/72 inch, so the height of text in pixels is about pt·ppi:72 (12 pt at 300 ppi ≈ 50 px). For readability the text and background colours should contrast; mind the licences of fonts and check that Uzbek letters (o‘, g‘) display correctly on your system.
