Enjoy precise typographic control

Photoshop delivers professional-quality type controls to help you create imagery that communicates with precision and style.

Editable text

Text retains its crisp vector edges--and its editability--unless you rasterize it (by applying a filter, for example, or flattening the layers). You can distort it, warp it, and apply layer effects and still use the type tool to retype the text. See Working with type layers.

Formatting

Use the Character and Paragraph palettes for precise control over individual letters and paragraph formatting. See Formatting characters and Formatting paragraphs.

Spelling checker

Avoid misspelled words with the built-in spelling checker, which includes search-and-replace functionality. You can even check spelling in multiple languages within the same file--to help you create buttons for multilingual Web sites, for example. See Checking for spelling errors (Photoshop).

Convert to Shapes

Use the Convert to Shapes command to turn type into an instant vector mask. See Converting type to shapes (Photoshop).
