=Learn about type and how it is created.= ====Your able to have text when you have a layer selected, then clicking on the "T" symbol (the horizonal type tool) on the side tool bar. Your also able to modify the font in many different ways. The ability to shift the alignment from the left side, center, or right side. Useing Font Family, which are the set of characters, letters, and symbols for a particular typeface. Font Family is then broken down to three categories.__Symbols__ - unique character that arent regular used letters, numbers, or signs. __Serif__ -have fonts with strokes and tails on the end on characters. __San serif__ - have no fancy curves or tails. Within these categories, there are many fonts to pick. Font size is where one is able to change the size of the fonts. Also, the font color is the color of your font.====

=Change Spacing and Adjust Baseline Shift= ====The type spacing can be used to change the space between cheracters and between lines of type. Often times, when spreading letters out, it's easier for someone to read. You can also control the amount of space between characters, words, or a paragraph with kerning. The use of tracking inserts a set amount of space between selected characters. The ability to change the amount of space between line is called leading. And using baseline shift so certain character can be rised or lower than the others. You can find all of these options on the characters palette.==== =Use the Drop Shadow Style=

You can add many more effects to your font using the Layer Styles. Where your able to modify the default drop shadow which sits behind the text to whatever color, angle, distance, or blur you'd like.
=Apply Anti-Aliasing to Type= ====This has to do with the jaggedness of the characters. When coming closely at text, you'll see that there a raggedness around the letters. You'll be able to smooth out the raggedness with the anti-aliasing. It does this by changing the colors around the text to make it seem smoother. There are five Anti-Aliasing Methods. There's None, Sharp, Crisp, Strong, and Smooth. None applies no anti-aliasing. Sharp uses the best possible resolution that can be applied. Crisp appears sharper by making the text have more definition to it. Strong makes text heavier, similar to the bold option. And finally, smooth makes it all more rounded text.====

=Modify Type with the Bevel and Embross Style= ====This modification is used to make text have a combo of shadows and highlights with shine and dimension. Within this option is the categories of structure and shading. Shading determine the effects of the lighting, and structure determines the physical properties of the text. You make modify this further with angle, altitude, Gloss Contour, highlight mode, and shadow mode.====

=Apply Special Effects to Type using Filters= You can make text look even more unique with filters. To get it filtered, first you make it a image which makes it impossible to edit your text can. This is called rasterizing. The filters your able to do it distorting, using textures, and blurring. Distorting allows you to curve your text in many ways like ripples, waves, zigzags, etc. Textures and Relief makes you apply layers to the text like bricks or sandstone. And blurring blurs your text to make the text hard to see.
