ESSAY
73. ANS:
Student answers will vary, but should mention that the Character panel can be called command central for
formatting type because it is the central location for all of the tools used to format type.
Included among the formatting uses of the Character panel should be most, if not all, of the following: set
typeface, size, tracking, kerning, baseline shift, font style, language setting, leading, horizontal and
vertical scale, and any other of the options located on the Character panel. Refer to Figure D-3 for a
complete list.

TOP: Critical Thinking
74. ANS:
Student answers will vary, but should include the following information:
To rasterize type, target the layer on which the type appears, click Layer on the application bar, point to
Rasterize, then click type.
When you rasterize a type layer, you convert it from “live” type—type that is selectable and editable—to
pixels. Its appearance doesn’t change, but functionally, it is really not live anymore. You can’t select it,
and you can’t modify it.
Rasterizing type is a commitment. Once you do so, other than using the Undo command or reverting the
file, you can never go back and convert the rasterized text back into live type. So why rasterize type in the
first place? The biggest reason for rasterizing type is to avoid font issues. When you share a Photoshop
file that includes font information, the person that opens your file will need the same font installed on
their computer to render the type. When type is rasterized, you no longer need the font installed because
it’s not type anymore, it’s just pixels.

The Use Global Light option exists as a simple solution to help you maintain a consistent light source for
multiple layer styles. With the Use Global Light option checked, all of your layer styles will create their
individual effects using “light” from the same direction.
This is helpful in creating consistency in your document, as the light source “hits” all of the layers from
the same direction ant at the same angle.
The Use Global Light option can easily be applied by clicking the Use Global Light box in the Layers
Style dialog box.
