The first and simplest way is to click in the image where you want thetype. If you select flush left on the Tool Options bar or the Paragraph palette, your text will stream right from the insertion point. If youselect centered, Photoshop will center the words around your insertion point as you enter them. Flush right sends the text shooting off tothe left from your right-side insertion point. Figure 17.4 shows examples of each.Figure 17.4. Text flows from the insertion point.The other way to position type, when you have to set a lot of it or when you need to fill a specific area, is to drag a bounding box. Simplyselect the Type tool, click it to create the corner point of the box, and drag until the box is approximately the right size and shape (seeFigure 17.5). You can go back after you've entered the type and resize the box, if necessary.Figure 17.5. The type bounding box determines the shape of the block of text. Photoshopautomatically breaks the line at the edge of the bounding box.
