Is there any way to stretch only PART of a font? Say you like the shape of a "T" but want the stem to be a bit longer without stretching the rest… is there a way to do this without losing the vector qualities of the layer? I don’t want to rasterize it, but I don’t mind converting it to shape. As long as it remains vector-based.

Thanks.

PS: Using PS7.1

Only using the controls on the charachter pallett, else you need to rasterise it. tip duplicat layer and rasterise, hide the text layer and you can alwas start again.

As you said, convert it to a Shape (Layer>Type>Convert to Shape) and use the Direct Selection Tool to select the points you want and stretch it out. I would use the Arrow keys if possible.
