If you have a PRO version of a font, you can select a different style for each letter. Its done with the Type toolbar on the right side of work window. I just can't remember how the hell to do it and I can't replicate it. Anyone know?

You have to open your Character panel. Highlight a letter of your text string and select the font that you want. In fact you don't need to have your Character panel open, the same can be done from the text toolbar.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Jan 19, 2011 13:47 | #3 This is not quite what I am after. I saw Kelby do it in a video somewhere, but I cannot find the video now. He stated that you can start with any "Pro" font (e.g. Myriad Pro). He typed a word. I believe it was the name of a winery. The first letter was a B. He then went to character panel and changed the way that B looked without changing the font. It was a script-style font and when he changed it, the B looked like caligraphy. Anyone know what I am talking about? SmugMug

ToddLambert I don't like titles  More info | Jan 19, 2011 13:54 | #4 I'm not quite sure I understand, but it really just comes down to what the font supports. Each font has different variants. Some have bold, italic, script, etc... Some fonts have no variants.

Jan 19, 2011 14:02 | #5 Its a specific thing that Scott Kelby did in Photoshop. The variation of the letter "B" went beyond italics, bold, underline. It was the same font, so the style was the same, but it was "fancier". Kelby said that you could do it with any Pro font. I've searched and searched, but I can't remember what video it was on.
