In this lesson we're going to continue to discuss text wraps if you'd like to follow along.
Going to your file menu to open the sample files folder.
Scroll down to 0 9 0 3 get all wrapped up in tax wraps part 2 and just click Open.
Let's get into some of the more advanced features.
I have this silhouette of a biker.
Why don't we zoom in a lot closer so we can see what's going on just by clicking and dragging a cross
the bottom of the page with the zoom tool.
Now going to go to my selection tool and just select that silhouetted biker and you can see only the
top half of the biker has actually been silhouetted.
This is a layered Photoshop document with the biker in front of a transparent layer.
Why don't we apply a wrap around object shape wrap and you can see once again it's wrapping the wrong
thing.
It says same as clipping.
Well I don't have a clipping path in this Photoshop document.
So it's really just wrapping around the outside of the image not what I want.
I'm going to choose detect edges and let's see what that does.
Well it is wrapping around the edges but that's still not exactly what I want.
And there's some strange things happening with the text.
Let me instead choose from the type of wrap a photoshop Peth.
It actually has all the paths that I've set up in my Photoshop document.
I'm going to go to the past that's called Sylow And let's see what that does that looks pretty good.
There's one other path.
Why don't we try that.
It's called Byker only well I don't think that's what we want.
You can see the path is actually around just the bikers so there's probably text underneath my image
not what I want.
Let me go back to my original silhouette path Sylow and that's working pretty well but I'm still not
happy when it comes right down to it.
People do not like reading text.
If you expect people to read text that jumps across this Byker they're not going to do it.
So how do I make it so that the text is not on the left side of my image.
Well why don't we talk about rap too for rap options it says rap to both right and left sides.
What happens if I only rap to let's say the right side well that's looking pretty good.
There's another choice as well that I would usually use in this particular circumstance.
It's called largest area.
Let me do that.
And you can see it in this case it's doing exactly the same thing.
Let me offset that just a little bit more.
And you can see it's pushing it away from the biker.
And that looks really good.
Sometimes if you use instead of largest area wrap to left side or right side what will happen is let's
say this biker his hand was up in the year what it would do is it would still wrap to this wrong side.
And people will now be able to read it.
The reason why is if I rapped to the right side it will also rap to the right side of his hand that
sticking up in near.
So it's not a good choice.
Largest area will only wrap it to the part of the text frame.
That is the largest.
So it's picking the largest area of the tax ring to wrap on that side.
I wonder how we turn off a wrap.
Let me show you what I'm talking about.
I'm going to fit my page in the window again by hitting command zero or control zero on a PC.
And you can see right now I'm selecting my Byker headline.
It's centering the headline between the left margin the left side of the frame and this wrap object
from the master page.
What if I wanted it to ignore all text wraps.
So with centering it to the entire text frame the way you do that is go into your object menu to text
frame options.
If you look at the lower left hand corner if you check ignore text wrap.
Look what happens.
It's now centered to the frame itself and is ignoring all of the text wraps.
Let me uncheck that to show you how it changes back.
Now it's centered to the left side of the frame and the text wrap to its right.
So it does make a difference.
Let me click OK.
In the next lesson we're going to begin to discuss long documents.
