can someone help me step by step on adobe photoshop , editing with text?

Question

i want to add text to a picture and also remove text from picture

Answer 1

Adding text is the easy part.

First start a new layer. Do this one of two ways. 1) Go to the menus at the to p of the screen and select Layer-----> New--->New Layer. Or go into the Layer window and look at the very bottom of the layer window. You will see a couple of icons including a file folder, trash can and a page turning-- click on the page turning to open a new layer.

Now to writing /editing text. Look at tyour tools window , this is the one on the write w/ all the icons. Click on the Big T. If you hold down the mouse button, you can choose if you want your text horizontal or vertical. But for regular writing just click on it once then click anywhere in the picture and draw a box and poof you have a text box. You can go back an edit it at anytime by clicking on that box. To change font and stuff just highlight the text and then pick your font and size from the menu above.

Getting text out of pictures isn't always as simple. You either have to erase it- use the erase tool from the tool menu. Or color over it, using the paint tool. This isn't too complicated unless the text is over an important part of the picuture. If it is over something important your best bet is to fill that part in using the tools i mentioned above. Also you could try using the smudge tool(shaped like a hand on the tool menu) or the clone tool. You can use the clone tool to clone a part of the picuture over the empty space. Alt+click the part you want to clone and then draw over the blank spots.

Add text to a picture is simple; use the text tool (a big "T" on the toolbox) and click where you want to add text, then type. The tool options panel will let you pick color, font, etc.

Removing text is a completely different thing. You could either just cover up the text with a solid-color square (and put new text over it, for example), using the select tool (dashed box on the toolbox) to draw the square and then the brush tool to fill it in with a color. If you want better results than that, it'll take a lot of careful work, filling in the missing details from the picture where the text is. For largeish text, I've had decent luck with using the magic-wand tool, hold down shift and click each letter of the text, then use the Median filter with a range around 3 or 5 or so. It's not perfect, but it does a half-decent job of blurring the picture's colors into where the text was.

I do recommend finding a general online photoshop tutorial to get familiar with how to use photoshop basics to make this more understandable.
