Which term describes editing text on its own layer, allowing edits without affecting other elements?

• A. Text Tool
• B. Type Layer
• C. Text Layer (Photoshop)
• D. Font Layer

Answer: (C)

Editing text on its own layer means using a dedicated Text Layer in Photoshop. This layer is built specifically to hold type, so you can edit the characters—changing the font, size, color, or wording—without touching any other elements on different layers. That separation is what makes edits non-destructive: the rest of the image stays unchanged while the text remains fully editable as long as the layer isn’t rasterized. The term you’ll see in Photoshop for this is Text Layer (Photoshop), which precisely identifies the layer type in the program. The Text Tool is the tool you use to create or modify the text, but it isn’t the layer itself. A Type Layer conveys the same idea, but the explicit Photoshop label you’ll encounter in the Layers panel is Text Layer. Font Layer isn’t a standard term for this concept.
