Hey Chris, Nice vid, thanks... Do you know how to make text auto fit into a text box, i.e automatically adjust the point to fit what you are placing into it?

[ChrisRoseProductions]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but if you left click and drag your mouse across a document with the text tool selected it will create a text box. You can re-adjust the box size by double clicking on the text layer, then dragging the corners of the box.

Thanks for your reply... I'll try and explain it, lets say that i create a text box, and copy a stack of text and paste it in there. Now if the point of the is set to 30 it will not fit in the box, following me (box is to small say) now i know i can highlight the text and adjust the point to a lower number or re-size the box, but i would like to know if there is a way of telling PS to "Fit text to box" and it will auto set the size of the text to fit it in that area, make sence?

I see what you are saying. I haven't came across this feature in Photoshop, however I have seen it in other programs. I'll let you know if I come across it.

You love hearing yourself talk, don't you? Try taking 2 seconds to make a damn circle, then show us the tricks of moving the text around, including upside down, in the circle.
