To add the first title:
1 With the titles layer selected, click the Text tool (or press T) in the Toolbar.
2 Click the middle of the Canvas. Since the default text color is white, be sure to click over
the dolphin image so you can see the text you create.
A blank text object is added to the Layers list, and the insertion point flashes in the
Canvas.
3 Type “dolphin,” then press Esc (Escape).
Once you press Esc, which is the equivalent of choosing the Select/Transform tool, the
text is selected as an object. The name of the text object in the Layers tab is updated to
reflect the actual text. By default, new text objects are white.
To modify the “dolphin” title:
1 In the Text Dashboard, click the color well.
2 In the Colors window, click the blue color swatch you saved earlier.
The title turns blue.
Click the blue color swatch to
color the text.
