Highlighting text in Photoshop 7.0 isn’t a direct feature like in word processors. Instead, you’ll be using layering and blending modes to achieve a similar effect. This guide will walk you through different techniques to mimic highlighting text effectively in Photoshop 7.0.
Mimicking Highlighted Text with Layer Styles
One of the simplest methods to highlight text in Photoshop 7.0 involves using layer styles. First, create your text layer. Then, double-click the layer in the Layers palette to open the Layer Style dialog box. Experiment with different blending modes, such as “Overlay” or “Soft Light,” combined with a fill color of your choice, to achieve the desired highlighting effect. Adjust the opacity for a more subtle or intense highlight.
Using a Separate Layer for Highlighting
Another effective method is to create a new layer above your text layer. Select the desired highlight color and use the brush tool to paint over the text you want to highlight. Experiment with different brush sizes and opacities to fine-tune the highlight. You can also change the blending mode of this new layer for varied effects. “Multiply” can create a darker highlight, while “Screen” will result in a brighter highlight.
Creating a Highlighted Text Effect with the Outer Glow Layer Style
You can also utilize the “Outer Glow” layer style to simulate highlighting. Again, open the Layer Style dialog box for your text layer. Select “Outer Glow” and choose a bright color for the glow. Adjust the “Spread” and “Size” parameters to control the extent and intensity of the highlight. This method provides a soft, diffused highlight effect that can be quite appealing.
Conclusion
While Photoshop 7.0 doesn’t have a built-in text highlighting feature like modern word processors, you can effectively achieve a similar look using these techniques involving layer styles, blending modes, and separate layers. Experiment with these different methods to find the approach that best suits your needs for highlighting text in Photoshop 7.0.
