Chapter 12: Using Type
Adobe Photoshop lets you add horizontal and
vertical type to an image. You can specify the
leading, kerning, tracking, baseline shift, size, and
alignment of the type and edit its characters. In
addition, Photoshop lets you create type in
double-byte fonts, enabling you to create designs
that include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text
(if you have the correct system software installed
on your system).
About type
Graphics applications create two different kinds
of type:
Outline type
Drawing or page-layout programs
such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe PageMaker
create outline type. Outline type consists of
mathematically defined shapes and can be scaled
to any size without losing its crisp, smooth edges.
When opening an image that contains outline
type, Photoshop rasterizes the type into pixel or
bitmap type.
Bitmap type Paint and image-editing programs
such as Adobe Photoshop create bitmap type
composed of pixels. The sharpness of bitmap type
depends on the type size and the resolution of
the image. For example, type that has been scaled
up in size may show jagged edges. High-resolution
images can display higher-resolution (and
therefore smoother) type than low-resolution
images.
If you want to create scaleable type or text
containing many type characters, import your
Photoshop image into an application that
supports outline type and create the type using
that application.
