PS 6.0 :: Styles ::

The Styles menu offers instant transformation to text and images.

Here's what the Styles menu panel looks like in Photoshop 6.0

Each thumbnail represents a Style.
They do have names but you'll probably make up your own.

Easy Text Styles

The workshop instruction format is written like this :
Command > Selection > Choice
Each new action you take is given on a separate line.
If more explaining is required, the message is in the string.

Let's make this...

Good Styles

Text > Trebuchet MS > size 72 > color white
click Paint Bucket

Paint Bucket > click in selected area
Deselect
Layers > Flatten Image
If you now say: Uh-huh! > File > Save As
If you say: Yuck! >Styles > click another one until you say Uh-huh then > File > Save As

TIP :: Experiment lots and remember legibility and appropriateness count in graphic text style.
Sometimes, appropriateness can be skewed for comic
effect but legibility should never be sacrificed.

See what I mean.....
