Subtitles of the Movie (Adobe Photoshop 7 / Type / Paragraph Palette)
The paragraph palette allows you to customize the way your paragraph looks with some formatting features. We can align our text to the left, center or right. And, these next set of buttons will align just the last line. And finally, we could also choose to justify all our text. And for what it's worth, notice its only justifying or affecting the paragraph that my cursor is in. And just realize that: if I want to affect all of my text, I need to simply click the check box here, so that I am not affecting any particular piece of text, but I am affecting all the text on this layer. Some of our other options are: we can choose to add an indent on the left side of our text box, by putting in a value here, and the same for the right. And we could also choose to add an indent to the first line of our text. And you can see, I've also added a value here for the space between paragraph breaks, and you could also do that after paragraph breaks as well. If hyphenate has a check next to it, means that Photoshop will hyphenate your text in your text box to create a better flow. Disable that if you don't want text to be hyphenated. Another cool feature of the paragraph palette is found under the paragraph palette menu. Press and hold on the palette menu button, and one of our options is to choose roman handing punctuations. I'm going to select all of that by double clicking on the type thumbnail in the layers' palette, and enable roman hanging punctuations. And now notice how the quote marks are falling outside of the text frame. We also have control over how you want your text to be justified. If you choose the justification options, we have control over how Photoshop will justify text. And of course what that means is spacing of the words, and letters for that matter. I don't recommend really changing this unless you are a type maven. And we also have controls over hyphenation. Another nice feature of Photoshop's text handling ability is found on the edit menu. We can choose to check spelling and Photoshop will check the spelling of the text, bring up a basic spellchecker and we can choose to ignore this. And notice when I drag this out of the way that Photoshop highlights the text or word in question. I'll just click ignore, and there is a misspelt word: it's showing me the word it found and what it would change it to. So I'll go ahead and accept that change. Another nice feature of course is the find and replace text. Brings up a simple find and replace, so I could type in 'apples' and tab to go down to the change to, and type in a different word. And I'll just choose change all. And it changed my first instance of apple to pears.
