My name is Lalit Adhikari and we are at LTY. Let’s begin!



Introduction

First thing first, Photoshop is an advance Image editing software and it’s not meant for Word Processing tasks.

So, if you have used any Word Processor like Microsoft Word then you may feel disappointed in Photoshop’s Spell Checker.

Photoshop’s spell checker is sort of like a tasting spoon at an Ice-cream parlor. The checker is serviceable but for heavy-duty text formatting, spell checking and other word processor tasks, you should use a word processor.

It’s good for spot checks in Photoshop and the following steps will show us how to check the spelling in our creations and add your own custom spellings to the spell-checker’s dictionary.
