Exercise 6: Getting started

This was a fairly simple start point in using text in Photoshop. I had to make a new Photoshop file, size A5, and manipulate text using the Character / Paragraph floating palette.

Text details can be found in the blue box at the bottom of the page.  This simple exercise was followed by making changes to the heading and selecting text by using the mouse. I noticed that there is no mention of using the keyboard shortcuts which can be found when you open the menus at the top of the page or by hovering over the Tool palette and the shortcut letters will appear.  I have worked hard to memorise these shortcuts as I find it easier to use Command/letter than move to the mouse and lose my place on the keyboard.

Fairly basic manipulations required here, again details of changes in the blue box.
