How do you keep the background of a template in Photoshop?

Question

I am trying to use a template and on photoshop edit the text to my own info. Is there a way to do this? I want the background the same and to be able to type information in. Thanks

Answer 1

Open your image.

Click the type tool and click the insert in the image where you want the text, then type your text.

PhotoShop automatically puts text on a separate layer.

Look at the layers palette on the right side of the window. You should see your text layer.

Save (as a photoshop .psd file) and print your image.

Next time you open it, the easiest thing to do is delete the layer and then choose the text tool to put another one in.

Or you can choose the text tool and select the existing text (be careful you have to select very close to the text or photoshop may create another layer). Then type your new text.

Images saved as .jpg or with the layers merged can not have the text edited

Answer 2

make a new layer and use the text tool
