Very, very basic question.
I am placing a text box on a photo in photoshop. The box is rectangular and will have a background color. I am entering justified text into the shape. I need to have a margin or padding between the text and the rectangular shape.
How can I do this please?
There are two methods that come to mind:
Free Transform Path, which is used as a container. With the Type layer selected, press Ctrl + T. Make sure that Free Transform Path is checked in the Edit menu to ensure you are scaling only the path. Unlink W and H in the Options bar and scale both separately to 40px, for example. This way, you will add a 20px margin/padding on each side.
Use the Properties panel as shown below in my screenshot.
