How to Underline Text in Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is one of the world's most widely used graphic design applications. Developed as a professional-grade solution for photographers and digital artists, the program lets you create and edit bitmap images, such as JPEG, PNG and TIFF files. It supports many color modes, offers a host of filters and effects, and allows its functionality to be extended through the use of third-party plug-ins. Although the option can be difficult to find at first, underlining blocks of text in Photoshop is a quick process once you know where to look.
