-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Different tools of verticle tool bar:
Text Tool
Text Tool:This tool is useful for adding text. You can add
text on any background. You can use different font, different colors
and technics.
Method: Method
is same as previous. Open a new image with desired color or design
background. Select text tool now click on the new image a dialog box
will open up (pic 7.1).
Keep the settings as I kept in Text dialog box. Font - Arial
Black Size - 18 Stroke - None Fill - Red
or any color Create as -
Floating (check the floating selection box) Antialias -
Checked (for smooth surface) (pic 7.1)
Now click ok and text will look like this(pic 7.2). See text in red color in picture.
Now experiment with different options and you will
find you can make lots of different styles, color, size and so on.
Here is some of the examples for you which
I've made with different settings.
1. Stroke - red, Fill -white(pic 7.3)
2. Next pic shows different settings.
You can see text with white outline. I kept background as black
to show it (pic 7.4) .
Vector selection: (pic
7.5)shows vector text. You can edit,
modify and change this text according to your need. Keep mouse curser
on its corner small box and pull it. Its size will increase. The
same way pull it from right side and lower middle box see what happens.
The another benifit is you can move this text on any background
according to your need.
Setting is the same as (pic 7.1)only change is keep it in vector selection instead
of floating selection. (Creat as -
vector)

variation of text in(pic 7.6).

Here is a little different effect with
different settings. (pic 7.7)

(now click on gradient color to choose different options) I chose
copper color.Now
on selected text use different effects on it to give it a good look.
Go to menu barEffect - 3D effects

That'a it your text will look like this (pic 7.7).
I added sparkle on it with the help of sparkle
