For more information about selections, see Working with selections. As with raster text, you cannot edit selection-based text. You can use a text selection to create special effects for example, you can fill the characters in a text selection with an image. You can create a selection in the shape of text and edit it as you would any other selection. If a vector layer is active when you defloat the raster text, Corel PaintShop Pro creates a new raster layer. When you defloat raster text, the text is merged with the underlying raster layer. You create raster text as a floating selection on a new raster layer, so you can easily move and transform it before you apply it to your image. Therefore, you should not apply it unless you know you won’t need to change the words and formatting. You cannot edit raster text after you apply it. When you use raster-only tools, such as the Mesh Warp tool, or apply raster-only commands, such as an effect, the vector text is converted to a raster layer, and it can no longer be edited as text.
For more information about vector objects, see Drawing and editing vector objects. Unlike raster text, vector text retains its crisp, sharp edges when you resize it. For example, you can change the words, font type, style, and alignment. Vector text, which is used in most instances, is the most versatile type of text because you can edit the text characters at any time. The type of text you apply depends on the effect you want to create. You can apply vector text, raster text, and text as a selection.
