# Add stylized text to an image

When you add text to an image, a text layer is added, so you can modify the text without affecting the original image.

1. In the Content palette, click the Text icon , and then do one of the following:

   - Select a thumbnail, and click Apply.

   - Double-click a thumbnail.

   - Drag a thumbnail to the image.

2. A text frame appears over the image and the Text tool becomes active. Type in the new text.
3. When you are finished changing the text, either click the Commit icon to apply the change, or click the Cancel icon .
4. Use the Move tool to relocate or resize the text frame.
5. (Optional) Add color to the text using the pop‑up Color palette in the options bar.
6. When you finish adjusting the text, either click the Commit icon to apply the change, or click the Cancel icon .
7. (Optional) To experiment with different text effects, drag a different thumbnail over the text frame.
