3. Style text
See the type options at the top of the Photoshop workspace. Customize the text using the type options, which include font selection, type size, alignment, and color.
4. Edit text
To change the text, be sure that you have selected the Type tool. Hover over the text with your cursor and click once. Edit the text. Press Escape to finish.
