  1. Chapter 13 Transforming Type

  2. Chapter Lessons • Modify type using a bounding box • Create warped type with a unique shape • Screen back type with imagery • Create a faded type effect

  3. Working with Type • Create type • Embellish type with • Styles such as Drop Shadow • Filters such as Twirl • Transform type • Warp type

  4. Transforming Type • Enclose type with a bounding box • A rectangle that surrounds type and contains handles used to change the dimensions • Modify the shape of type with all Transform commands • Exceptions are Perspective and Distort

  5. Warping Type • Use the Create warped text button to create unlimited shapes and dimensions • Create distortions that conform to a variety of shapes Neat Good Cool

  6. Warping Shapes • Arc • Arch • Bulge • Flag • Fish • Twist

  7. Type Special Effects • Fading Type • Type appears to originate in a dark area, then gradually gets brighter or vice versa • Screening Back • Imagery is visible through the layer that contains type

  8. Modify Type Using a Bounding Box • To display the bounding box: • Click the Move tool on the Tools panel • Select the Show Transform Controls check box • Reference point • Center of the bounding box • The location from which distortions and transformations are measured

  9. Bounding Box Around Type Bounding Box Reference Point Handle

  10. Using the Options Bar • Displays additional options for Transforming Type • To change the size of the bounding box: • Drag sizing handles • Type in a resized bounding box reflows to conform to the new shape

  11. Transformation Tools • Reference point location button • Click any white dot on the button to change the reference point • Set horizontal position of reference point text box • Reassign the horizontal location of the reference point • Use relative positioning for reference point button • Determines the point to use as a reference

  12. Transformation Tools • Set vertical position of reference point text box • Reassign the vertical location of the reference point • Set horizontal scale text box • Determines the percentage of left-to-right scaling • Maintain aspect ratio button • Keeps the current proportions of the contents within the bounding box

  13. Transformation Tools • Set vertical scale box • Determines the percentage of top-to-bottom scaling • Set rotation text box • Determines the angle the bounding box will be rotated • Set horizontal skew text box • Determines the angle of horizontal distortion

  14. Transformation Tools • Set vertical skew text box • Determines the angle of vertical distortion • Cancel transform (Esc) button • Returns to the image without carrying out transformation • Commit transform (Return) button • Returns to the image after carrying out transformation

  15. Transformation Pointers

  16. Type Modified with Bounding Box Text skewed in bounding box

  17. Create Warped Type with a Unique Shape • Use the Create warped text feature to: • Distort a type layer beyond the limits of stretching a bounding box • Choose from 15 warped text styles

  18. Sample of Warped Text Warped Text

  19. Enhancing Warped Text • Use the Bend, Horizontal Distortion, and Vertical Distortion sliders in the Warp Text dialog box • Apply a style • Apply a filter

  20. Warped Type Settings

  21. Enhanced Warped Text Warped Text enhanced with Color

  22. Screen Back Type with Imagery • Create the illusion that type appears to fade into the imagery below it • Screening Methods • Adjust the opacity of a type layer until imagery behind the type is visible • Convert a type layer into a shape layer; adjust levels of the shape layer

  23. Screened Back Type Image visible beneath the shape layer

  24. Creating a Screened Back Effect • Create a duplicate layer before converting the type layer • Convert the layer into a shape layer • Change the midtones and shadows of the content of the shape layer • Increase or decrease the midtones and shadow levels

  25. Levels Settings in Properties Panel • Work in the Levels settings to change midtones and shadows

  26. Adding Effects • Further modify the screened shape by: • Adding styles such as Bevel and Emboss • Adding filters such as Noise and Lighting

  27. Screened Back Type with Effects Bevel and Emboss style applied

  28. Create a Faded Type Effect • Create the illusion that type is fading away • Create the fade effect with: • A type layer • A layer mask • The Gradient tool

  29. Fade Effect Process • Create a layer mask for the type layer • Click the Add layer mask button on the Layers panel • Experiment with different types of gradient styles • Click the Gradient tool on the Tools panel

  30. Creating Semitransparent Type • Use blending options to create semitransparent type • Procedure • Create a type layer and apply layer styles • Drag the Set opacity of effect slider to the left to set the transparency

  31. Fade Effect Example Left side of type is faded
