Automatically put placeholder text in a newsletter mock up in Photoshop
If you are creating a mock up of a newsletter in Photoshop I suggest you use “Lorem Ipsum..” as your sample text instead of real text. One thing the human eye is always looking for is readable text, but when you use “Lorem Ipsum” because it makes no sense at all your reader’s eye will go to your design instead of tying to read the placeholder text.
To create a text box and fill it automatically with “Lorem Ipsum”, select the Type tool on your tool bar and click and drag where you wish your text box to go.
Select the font face, font size, and font color on the tool options menu.
To fill the text box with your placeholder text, click Type on your main menu then click Paste Lorem Ipsum on the drop down menu.
This fills your text box with the placeholder type.
Only make and fill one text box at a time, if you need more text then click in the text box and reselect Type>Paste Lorem Ipsum to refill it.
