Q1: | How do I center type on an image?
|
A1: | Command-click (PC: Control-click) to select the Background layer and your Type layer. From the Layer menu choose Align and pick the alignment you want (or choose the Move tool [V] and use the Align icons in the Options Bar). You can also use Smart Guides (View>Show>Smart Guides) to center your text. As you move your Type layer, a smart guide will appear when the type is centered. |
Q2: | How can I move type while I'm typing? Is it possible to reposition my type without committing it first? |
A2: | All you have to do is drag the cursor about an inch away from the type and your cursor will temporarily change into the Move tool. |
Q3: | Why can't I use the Move tool with vertical type? When I use my Type tool, I can move my mouse away from the type to temporarily get the Move tool to position the type. I can't seem to get this to work with vertical type. Am I missing something? |
A3: | It should work, but if it doesn't, you can also try holding down Command (PC: Control) to temporarily activate the Move tool while using the Type tool. |
