Dynamic text is now available in Photoshop beta!

[Pete.Green]

Hi everyone!

The Block style of dynamic text is now available in Photoshop beta!

 

Dynamic text is a new form of type layer that automatically resizes and adjusts your text to fit the shape of the text boundary, and enables you to easily create different looks and layouts by resizing the type layer's boundary rectangle.

How to make dynamic text
Create a Point type or Paragraph type layer, and convert to dynamic text using the new button found in the Tool options bar and Properties panel  or from the Type menus. 

You can customize the spacing between words or lines using the Word gap and Line gap options in the Dynamic text section of the Properties panel.

Known issue

• Dynamic text: Block doesn't quite work well with Type layers that contain bullets and numbers.

This is awesome — so many hours wasted creating this kind of text block! But not anymore 😊 I’ve only tried it briefly so far, so I don’t have real experience yet, but it seems to work great. Thanks for introducing such a useful feature!

While it's not exactly a real-life example, here's how I demonstrated it in a video (it's in spanish, though):

Hope it's okay to share the link! Thanks again.

Yes! I had seen your video the day you posted it, love the thumbnail example with the perspective and effects you've added! Thanks @Carlos_Oliveras ! If you do find yourself using it for any real-life cases that you can share, it would be awesome to be able to share with the team.
