Sometimes our scrapbook pages can include very personal information. Information we might not like to share online. However, we still might want to share our page because we like its artistic design. If you find yourself in this situation, there’s an easy fix. Lorem Ipsum. Lorem Ipsum is “dummy text.” Adobe has included this tool in CS6 and above. Let’s look at that today. And we’ll also look at a work-around for those using other versions of Photoshop, as well as Photoshop Elements.
Here is an example:
Let’s replace the text with Lorem Ipsum.
1. Click on the Text Tool to make it active.
2. Drag out a text box on your layout.
3. Choose a font style in the top options bar.
4. Adjust the font size in the top options bar. (You may do so later by highlighting the text and adjusting, but it’s easier to do it now.)
5. In the top menu bar, click on Type to access the drop-down box, then click on “Paste Lorem Ipsum.”6. Click on the check mark in the top menu bar to commit the text.
In comparing the text on the original layout with this one, you will see that the journaling was wrapped around the layout elements beautifully. If that is what works best for your layout, instead of dragging out a square or rectangular text box, create a uniquely-shaped text box that suits your needs.
Lorem Ipsum can be helpful in another way too, I think. If you are creating a layout page and wish to go back later to do your journaling, create your text box(es), fill them with dummy text so you have a visual of how the page will look, continue with your page design, then go back later to complete the journaling.
