Another text tip from Planet Photoshop!

For those that didn't see this one.

"Editing Text Without Highlighting It

Here's a cool little tip for changing your font size without having the Type tool active. Just click on your Type layer (in the Layers palette), then go under the Window menu and choose Character. When the Character palette appears, you can make changes to your type size, color, font, tracking, etc. It freaks you out, doesn't it?"

That is cool, Phil. But I gotcha on this one ; )

If the text tool options bar is not active (for example, you're using the brush tool on another layer). Click on the text layer in the palette. Hit "T" (changes to the text tool) then go up to size, pull down the list and pick one. Instant change. This also works for changing the font, color...anything in the text toolbar. But, you can't change scale, kerning, tracking, etc. like you can in the character palette. Keep these tidbits coming!
