Checking for spelling errors (Photoshop)


    When you spell-check a document, Photoshop questions any words that aren't in its dictionary. If a questioned word is spelled correctly, you can confirm its spelling by adding the word to the dictionary. If a questioned word is misspelled, you can correct it.

To check and correct spelling:

  1. In the Character palette, choose a language from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the palette. This sets the dictionary for spell-checking.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select a type layer.
    • To check specific text, select the text.
    • To check a word, place an insertion point in the word.
  3. Choose Edit > Check Spelling.
  4. As Photoshop finds unfamiliar words and other possible errors, do one of the following:
    • Click Ignore to continue checking spelling without changing text. Click Ignore All to ignore the word for the rest of the spell-check.
    • To correct a misspelling, make sure the correctly spelled word is in the Change To text box and click Change. If the suggested word is not the word you want, you can select a different word in the Suggestions text box or enter the word in the Change To text box.
    • To correct a repeated misspelling in a document, make sure the correctly spelled word is in the Change To text box and click Change All.
    • Click Add to have Photoshop store the unrecognized word in the dictionary, so that subsequent occurrences are not flagged as misspellings.
    • If you selected a type layer and want to spell-check only that layer, deselect Check All Layers.
