To specify tracking:
In the Character palette, enter or select a numeric value for Tracking
.
Adjusting horizontal or vertical scale
Horizontal scale
and
vertical scale
specify the proportion between the height and width of
the type. Unscaled characters have a value of 100%. You can adjust scale to compress or
expand selected characters in both width and height.
To adjust the horizontal or vertical scale of type:
In the Character palette, enter a new percentage for Horizontal Scale
or Vertical
Scale .
Specifying baseline shift
Baseline shift
controls the distance that type appears from its baseline, either raising or
lowering the selected type to create superscripts or subscripts.
Default, and baseline shift of 10 points
To specify baseline shift:
In the Character palette, enter a value for Baseline Shift
. A positive value moves
horizontal type above and vertical type to the right of the baseline; a negative value
moves type below or to the left of the baseline.
To show or hide the baseline (ImageReady):
Do one of the following:
•
Choose View > Show > Text Baseline.
•
Choose View > Extras. This command shows or hides all selected items in the View >
Show submenu. (See
“Working with Extras” on page 47
.)
Changing case
You can enter or format type as uppercase characters, either all caps or small caps. When
you format type as small caps, Photoshop and ImageReady use the small caps designed as
part of the font, if available. If the font does not include small caps, Photoshop and
ImageReady generate faux small caps.
To change the case of type:
Do one of the following:
•
Click the All Caps button
or the Small Caps button
in the Character palette.
