Adding a New Text Layer

You can add a new Text layer to a composite. Creating a Text layer adds a new solid layer with a Text operator to the composite.

To add a Text layer:

1. In the Workspace panel (F3), right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Macintosh) the composite to which you want to add a new Text layer and choose New Layer.

The New dialog appears.

2. From the Type list, select Text.
3. Set the new layer parameters. For more information, see Creating a Paint, Text, or Particles Layer.

Note: If the new Text layer is set to Transparent when created, only the text (and not the solid background of the layer) is visible in the composite. If Transparent is disabled when the new Text layer is created, the text will appear on the solid background in the composite.

4. Click OK.

The new layer is added to the composite and the Text operator opens.
