Figure 5.54. Converted text layer

Now select the Direct Selection Tool (A), and adjust the shape of the text by clicking and dragging the handlebars and anchor points. You may wish to use other tools, such as the Add Anchor Point Tool, Delete Anchor Point Tool, and Convert Point Tool, to adjust the points as necessary.

Warning: Shape Smart!

As with rasterizing layers, once you convert a text layer to a shape, you’ll be unable to edit the text that you originally typed. So ensure that everything’s correct and spell-checked before you begin the conversion.

If the paths and points are unclear, you can temporarily change the shape color to a lighter shade that’s easier to work with, as I’ve done in Figure 5.55. Simply double-click on the color patch of the shape layer to bring up the Color Picker, and adjust accordingly.
