Quiktip: Key Commands For Type
When creating type in Photoshop, and you are looking for just the right display face, it helps to use the key commands to get things just how you want them. If you double click your text icon next to the layer, it will highlight your text. Then, simply go up to the top menu bar and highlight the font. Then, with the up and down arrow keys, you can freely cycle through all of the typefaces instead of having to click each time. Also, if you want to control the size of your type Hold down command+option + shift and hit < to make your text smaller and > to make it larger. This makes display type quick and easy for you.
