little bit of help needed retouching an old family manufactured car

[egosbar]

didnt like the parchment color its actually nearly white and the image lost a lot

so now my option is to retype the text , ive done one line but now i cant type the next line as a paragraph , help needed lol
hopefully you can answer before i have to figure it

although i did want it too look like the newspaper clipping from 1935 that i got it from hence the different parchment color

How did you originally type out the text? Was it a screenshot? If so, no it won't tolerate blowing it up.

As far as using the text tool in PS, you can make a text box or you can simply use the return/enter to go to another line. You may have to set the leading to space the lines. Go to the character window and I think it is on the upper right and just click the font size distance you want. It's work to type it all out again, but worth it in the long run and you can change the BG on the text parchment easily enough, right?




Just pull the textbox out like you would the square marquis tool. If it doesn't materialize, open the paragraph window.
