Finding and replacing text (Photoshop)
You can search for a single character, a word, or group of words. Once you find what you're looking for, you can change it to something else.
To find and replace a word: - (Optional) Show or unlock type layers. The Find and Replace Text command does not check hidden or locked layers.
- Do one of the following:
- Select the layer that contains the text you want to find and replace.
- Select a nontype layer if you have more than one text layer and you want to search through all layers in the document.
- (Optional) If you selected a layer containing text, place an insertion point at the beginning of portion of text you want to search.
- Choose Edit > Find and Replace Text.
- In the Find What box, type or paste the text you want to find. To change the text, type the new text in the Change To text box.
- Select one or more of the following options to refine your search:
Search All Layers Searches all layers in a document. This option is available when a non-type layer is selected in the Layers palette. Forward Searches forward from an insertion point in the text. Deselecting this option searches the entire text in a layer regardless of where an insertion point has been placed. Case Sensitive Searches for a word or words that exactly match the case of the text in the Find What text box. For example, with the Case Sensitive option selected, a search for "PrePress" will not find "Prepress" or "PREPRESS." Whole Word Only Disregards the search text if it is embedded within a larger word. For example, if you are searching for "any" as a whole word, "many" will be disregarded. - Click Find Next to begin the search.
- Click the button that reflects what you want to do next.
- Change replaces the found text with the revised text. To repeat the search, select Find Next.
- Change All searches for and replaces all occurrences of the found text.
- Change/Find replaces the found text with the revised text and then searches for the next occurrence.
