Updating layer effects
Layer effects are automatically updated when you make changes to a layer. You can edit the text and watch how the layer effect tracks the change.
Select the Island Paradise layer in the Layers panel.
In the Tools panel, select the Horizontal Type tool (
).In the options bar, change the Size by a few points, and press Enter or Return.
You were able to change the settings for the entire type layer, even though you didn’t select the text by highlighting the characters (as you would have to do in a word processing program). This worked because in Photoshop, you can change settings for an entire type layer by selecting it in the Layers panel, as long as a type tool is selected.
Using the Horizontal Type tool, click between “Island” and “Paradise,” and type of.
As you edit the text, the layer styles are applied to the new text.
You don’t actually need the word “of,” so delete it.
Select the Move tool (
), and drag “Island Paradise” to center it beneath the word “HAWAII.”Choose File > Save.
