I’ve been "playing" for several hours with type and its variations and formatting in PS 7.
Til now, I’ve been under the impression that before one could apply layer effects, one had to rasterize the type first. And, once that is done, the type is no longer editable. But, when I was watching a "mov" video on typ et al, I learned that if one clicks on the checkmark icon at the right on the options bar, the editing can be "committed". And, once committed, layer effects and the like can be applied, but the type is still editable.
This certainly seems like a better approach. But, I have to assume that rasterizing the type does allow "things" to be done that cannot be after just "committing" the type. Otherwise, there would seem to be no need to rasterize until the absolute end, if at all.
Comments please?
