Daniel Morland conducted two tests on factual experimentation in Photoshop. In Test 1, he explored creating complex text boxes in any location using the Polygonal Lasso and Pen tools, finding that the Pen tool allowed placing text within shape boundaries. In Test 2, he experimented with clipping layers by placing one layer within the bounds of another, successfully clipping a red filled layer to only show within the cut-out shape of a person in another layer.

2. Test 1 -Creating complex text boxes
I know that it is possible to create a textbox in any
location in any area. However, I don’t know how. First,
I tried creating a shape using the Polygonal Lasso
Tool. This allowed me to put the points in any
location. However, I was unable to put a text layer
into the shape. So, I tried using the pen tool. Again,
this gave me the same flexability as the polygonal
tool. After creating a shape, I could select the text
tool and put it within the bounds of the shape.

3. Test 2
Next, I wanted to experiement with clipping
by putting one layer in the bounds of another.
I used
the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v
=_NjUWx8rl6I to learn from a channel in
youtube. I tried my own example. I first cut
out the background to only have the guy in
the middle. I make a new layer which I filled it
with a shade of red using the paint bucket
tool. Then I selected the create clipping mask
on the red layer and it was ontop of the initial
layer of the guy.
