Understanding typography adjustments is about using the Character panel. This panel is where you control all the font-related attributes: font family and style, font size, leading (line height), tracking (overall letter spacing), kerning (spacing between specific character pairs), vertical scale, and baseline shift. These options let you shape how your text sits and reads within your design, independently of any image edits. The other panels serve different purposes. The Brushes Panel controls brush dynamics for painting. The Adjustments Panel contains tonal and color corrections like Levels, Curves, and Hue/Saturation. The Effects Panel applies layer styles such as shadows and glows. None of these affect font choice or typography in the way the Character panel does, so for adjusting typeface and typography attributes, the Character panel is the appropriate tool.
