Text Box
Clicking the "A" on the
Toolbar
and then clicking on
your active image window will open the Add Text Dialog Box.
In it you will find all of the fonts loaded to your Windows\System
directory as well as several options to apply to that text.
Style can be set from Regular to Bold to Italic, with
Size options from 8 to 72. Larger sizes may be achieved
by typing the number into the top Size box .
The Floating check box turns the
Floating option
on and off.
Text color is determined by the foreground color
on the
Color Palette.
If you desire an opaque effect
add your text to a separate
layer
rather than to the
image background. You can then adjust the opaqueness
with the Layer Opacity slider.
Adding text on a separate layer also allows for Rotating
a line of text without affecting the other elements of the
image.
The Floating Check Box
Having the Floating option checked will place
text the color of your foreground color into your image.
Having it unchecked will place your text into the image
as a selection. But what good is that? Once you de-select
the text is gone!
Text that has been placed with the Floating
check box de-selected can be manipulated as well as
having a variety of effects added to it.
You can adjust the Gamma Correction, making the
text lighter or darker...
Or you can select Colors | Negative Image
from the Menu Bar...
Or apply a simple Cutout for a
watermark
effect.
The possibilities are endless and you are limited only
by your imagination!
